The November meeting was the biggest R5 gathering ever at Porsche Centre Wilmslow; 240 guests enjoyed a light-hearted fun evening, with tasty pies from the Great North Pie Company providing a welcoming treat.
Down in the workshop the retrofitting of a sports exhaust to a 991 Carrera was taking place for owner and member, Anthony Popadic. Although the job was not quite finished, he was able to hear the difference before the evening was over.
Veteran racing driver Mike Wilds gave a short talk on his career, which took him through Formula 1, Indy 5000, Le Mans and many more international and national race series. Still racing at 73 and a Porsche enthusiast through and through, Mike is a PCGB member and long term owner of a 911 3.2 Club Sport.
There were some tasty prizes to be won, with lucky members from various regions winning Porsche goodies, a luxury hair-care selection bag donated by Anthony Popadic, a signed print of some of Mike Wilds drives, and the usual Porsche Experience at Silverstone.
It was, as always, a great evening, so many thanks to Dealer Principal Jason Shenton and his staff for hosting the event.
