I wonder if anyone can help?
I have been contacted by the German Boxster Club. They have for some time been organising a trip to Scottland, and Porsche Club liason have suggested that some inter-club activity would be nice. To that end they have requested that some Boxsters (or ANY Porsche would do!) meet them on Sunday at Newcastle, and drive with them to thier first hotel in Aberdeen...
On the Monday they say they are meeting with the Porsche Club Scotland(???) I don't know if this is the R1 and/or R2 people? If anyone knows please let me know!
I'm right at the other end of the country, and just can't make this, but if anyone from The North fancies a drive out on Sunday, with a bunch of German Boxsters, I'm sure they will be very grateful, and so would I!
Attached below is an automated traslation of the groups webpage detailing the event (--> original German here <--) Hopefully the badly translated German is understandable...
If anyone can help please let me know!
