The first Tuesday as usual, but spent this month at OPC Sutton Coldfield. Dealer Principal, Alan Westwood and staff, put on a good buffet for us and very many of you attended an interesting evening. It was good to see so many new cars on display. I know several of us were introduced to the new 997 and PDK gear box, on the new test facilities at Porsche, Silverstone. So, thanks to all who made these events possible, including a great restaurant facility at Silverstone.
Apart from Porsche, Ferrari, Mazda MX5 ! and TIPEC, the other car clubs do not seem to support Silverstone as they used to in the old Coy's days. I wonder why?
Forthcoming Attractions.
