For those of you who have never been to Porsche Centre Reading I tried to upload a little map but the file was too large so I mailed it to Paul instead. Anyway It's my local. Well it would be wouldn't it?

Hi,
I am a new poster as I have only just managed ( with the help of the Porsche Post) to beat this bugbear called Norton internet security. I would love to have my name included on the list to visit the Porsche centre Reading to celebrate the 924's 30th birthday.I meet all the listed criteria. I would have my wife and daughter with me.
Regards,
Paul Webster.

Hi Paul,

I would like to attend and will be bringing a friend along.

Thanks
Sian

Count me in Paul; as usual I'll be attending alone [] []

BTW, keeping this thread anchored to the top of the Forum makes it a bit tough to spot for those of us who tend to ignore threads with 'Top' tags (I can't be the only one!)

Paul, what's planned for the day. I expect both kids will come, but not sure about the wife if it's "just looking at a load of cars" [] []

Paul, do you know if Porsche are organising an Anniversary T Shirt for the 924 along the lines of the 911 one, or is the Register going to have to sort one out?

 

[PaulHere]

Hi Phil, thanks for the update

Vince, no plans for a t-shirt, but the Register will be producing something for the day so it could be in the running.
A car sticker is another thing that could be made up.

Expect to see the Nutter in a 65,000 mile 924 turbo, guards red X reg; finally getting the faded bonnet resprayed sometime in the next five weeks while I am off work for a surgical procedure. All I need to do is not bend it before November. Veronica Robinson's 924 will astound you. It was subject to a windows out respray in Guards Red about a year ago, and looks brand new. This was already a concours winning car before the paint job. Prepare to be amazed.

How do I put my 924 on the Register?

Bit early for me to make plans for Nov but sounds like something I would be interested in.

Hello Kevin - Sorry for the delay in responding

Please e-mail me on 924@porscheclubgb.com and I will e-mail you a Register form straight back to fill in - once I have this back you are eligible to attend! []

Count me in with 2 cars. Could you send me a Register form for the latest acquisition.
Do you want a 'Front Runners route for next year?
Regards,
Geoff

 

[Guest]

Paul, I will definitely be attending this but due to potential November weather will not be bringing the car on the boat from Guernsey.

I am flying to Southampton and getting a train up to Reading so a lift from the station to the OPC would be really welcome - can anyone help me out?

Ceri Turton

 

[PaulHere]

I'm sure that can be arranged Ceri
Not familiar with the area myself but someone could be there I'm sure []

 

[924nutter]

This doesn't look like too much trouble for me. Need a time. Save me a parking space and a sandwhich.

How are we recording this event photographically? It just so happens......
