Christmas bash

[C4S al]

Hi all,

Had a great weekend at our R14 Christmas drive/dinner. Unfortunately I have realised I need some track days!! I have a 996 C4S and I could not keep up with Paul in his 1965 monster or Ian in his 914[] Too much braking at corners got to get my confidence up and basically learn to drive again!!! At least my wife stated she felt less car sick than last year so improving a bit hehe.

A great evening with wonderful food, Mr Cotton's personal experiences of his 40 years in motor sport were enviable and to finish the night off, some quite intricate dancing!! We even got to the top of Yat Rock on Sunday morning. Great morning waking up to a blanket of frost, really made the start of Christams.

Seeing Paul's cars again has inspired me to may be venture into getting an older porsche, stripping it out and doing some races, we'll see!!

Looking forward to next year's bash already.

Many thanks Ian.

Regards Alan.

Early 911 are great fun,get one some time,or come along to a track day that we are at with the early cars. We will get a better band for next year if it happens,so that we can dance more!! I hope Ians back is ok,he slipped on some ice. Regards Paul

Good evening ladies and gents I'm now the very pround owner of a white 911sc 1978 with sport pack. Had it a week now and loving every minute. Wife thinks (knows?) I'm mad driving with the roof off in this weather. Well the sun was shining when I left home! I'd like to get involved/join in/have fun with you guys. I live 12m north of Carmarthen and up for almost anything. Look forward to hearing from you. Paul

Great week-end, thanks to all concerned, especially Paul, family and team! These early cars MUST be quick - I had two Boxster drivers struggling to keep up with the 914/6...........[8D] Happy Christmas to all, and roll on next year! JW

We all know these early cars are quick around the lanes and hills,good job macmad was not with us in his 914 !!! After you all went home i ended up going back to bed at 3pm,next thing it was 7pm and a clearer head. I got some wood in the other day for the hotel,and the pile of logs did make me smile,Put another log on the fire peter!!!!!!!! Merry xmas

We were so disappointed not to be able to join in the fun. Sounds like you had a wicked time. Maybe next year. Sick daughter now recovered and back at uni. She was in a sorry state so we do forgive her ! Happy New Year to all Laura []
