Rob

Many thanks for keeping me a place on the list, despite my late enquiry, and for what was a very interesting event.

It's particularly good to speak to people in the know with Weissach. It's pretty clear from talking to Wayne that the OPC chaps are only in touch with what they can sell today rather than what might be around the corner.

Thanks Guys for braving the weather. I thought it would be a write-off but as always it was a fascinating and enjoyable trip !

For those who missed it, look out for our article in the September PP...

Rob, agree with you on the customer service side of things. I think you can see the guys who actually work for Porsche are passionate, but this doesn't translate to dealer staff and their customer service attitude, something which we've all experienced.

Robert - Thanks for organising as always an excellent event

An excellent day Rob, very relaxed and Wayne and Vicki were in no hurry to send us on our way. My guest Tim was instrumental in getting me in the Porsche grove many years ago, letting me drive his early 911 in the 80's. I hope he might return to the fold after Saturday but then his part time job is rebuilding classic Ferraris for Neil Twyman Ltd so modern day Porsches might not pull the right strings these days.
Thanks to all involved for making it such a pleasant day for us both.

Good to meet you and your wife Jamie. I still can't believe someone smeared a nappy over your windscreen!! What has happened to society! Looking forward to catching up with you all at the next event. Would be great to have a 997 dinner at the new Porsche Silverstone restaurant in 08![][]

yes, we'll need a Panamera with a rudder and prop to get there!

Clive, thinking on the positive side, it means we can catch the ferry from Cheltenham now []

After being stuck in Switzerland in a valley(lauterbrunen) after the road was washed away due to torrential rain, I'm handling this lot quite a bit better.[]
