Porsche parade Europe 2018/Informal Road trip - Sans Plomb
- Thread starter PhilKent
- Start date
I should have looked at the website first. It's not my kind of thing as it turns out although it sounds pretty special.
However, if anyone is interested in a more informal European road trip of sorts around the same time of year, let's get talking...
Porsche Parades are big meetings of Porsche Club members from all over Europe and often further afield (Japan, USA etc) they are supported by the Porsche factory and normally have members of the Porsche family present.
The Parades are never cheap but you do get 5 star hotels and 5 star treatment for your money.
They are usually held in English as well a local language where ever the Parade takes place, so there is never a language problem.
The normal selection of which Porsche Club(s) organises a Parade is firstly one in the North of Europe and in the South of Europe two years later. The last time PCGB organised one was in 2002 in South Wales.
Incidentally there were more PCGB members attending the 2016 Parade in Slovenia and Croatia ,despite the drive to get there, a great holiday!
It would include a Bruges stop-over (great city and even better beer!) and then either on to Amsterdam or on to Spa depending if you wanted to follow the parade attendees or go see a free to attend weekend of racing at the Spa circuit in the Ardennes region (my preference);

If you want to discuss a private European tour please start another thread and remove your posts here.
Thanks you.
Best regards,
Phil - I appreciate that you started the thread in good faith, but that does not mean you should change the topic of the thread and I remind you of the Forum rules:PhilKent said:Perhaps you should remove the entire thread if that's your opinion Peter, after all I started the thread and subsequently diversified it, (I'm not going to remove my posts because I don't know how, but if you wish to remove the entire thread and start a fresh one, please go ahead).I don't see the problem with asking folks opinions on a potential side excursion that may attempt to tag along with the parade attendees, particularly as it is apparently all booked up, and so even if I/we did want to attend we wouldn't be able to.
Best regards,
4.0 Forum Etiquette:
4.9 Do not post new problems on someone else's thread and interrupt a topic of discussion.
If I was interested in a subject as described in a heading it quite frustrating to start reading and then be taken off in a tangent to something else.
Those who are going or those showing interest in the Parade.
Anyone else going ? []
Robin said:Regarding those going to the Parade, I asked Chris Seward to put in PP a request for those who have booked and paid to participate to email or phone Mandy at Club Office so she could compile a list. It is on page 10 of the January edition and when I last asked there were about 3 replies out of the 14 cars booked.
One of those is mine Robin []
CLIFFWILKINS said:Maybe compile list of people partaking here I know a few people that are going.
Hi Cliff - some people may wish to keep there involvement in the PP private.
I would not disclose anyone's name on here unless they have given their permission.
See you there.[]
