Hi Alex, Happy 2012. It'll be just myself on the 28th. BTW - Think I must have missed you this morning at the OPC? I picked up my car after having a new software update done on my PDK, Muriel mentioned you had been in. You also got me thinking of calling Chris F to get the geo done again soon! Cheers

ORIGINAL: Alex L Please let me know if you are +1 for lunch on the 28th.

Alex, thanks again for the usual high standard of organisation for today's run. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. it was also good to see the regular faces and some new ones too. Liked the tour of the dealership (including seeing the 13 Carrera GTs!) and a GT1 for good measure. As I forgot my camera I've not got any piccies to put up but sure others will be posting some soon. On the way home I found myself being followed by my wife who came out a roundabout directly behind me. She promptly called me to tell me in no certain terms how ashamed I should be to be driving such a dirty car! [

] I know what I'll be doing first thing tomorrow...... Anyway, great drive today and looking forward to next time. Cheers BTW: Mike - remember I want first refusal on the GT3 in 18 months time [

Many thanks Alex for another brilliant day out. As always well organised,great route, suberb lunch venue and menu accompanied by new and familiar faces. My co-pilot Peter thoroughly enjoyed his first visit to the Reading workshop and storage facility and as a former engineer appreciated the opportunity to get up and close to so many Carrera GT's. Expect we'll all be out first thing in the morning cleaning our rear number plates, if not the whole car! Regards to all . Mike. P.S. Option Accepted Simon! 997 GT3 gen 2 Carrara White Cayenne Diesel gen2 Umber

Alex Another well organised day of drive & dine! Good to meet old & new faces. Car got a respray today back to black after yesterdays attempt at instant 2 tone colours! surprised how quickly it cleaned up. Think leaving it outside in rain overnight helped. Thanks again

mhbetts · Jan 29, 2012

Many thanks Alex for a truly awesome day and all for making us welcome. Nice to see the OPC Reading, (I think we had the coffee machine on overdrive for a while....) The standard of driving ( except perhaps my own )and quality of cars was a terrific experience and thank you also for guiding the countryside tour. Hope to enjoy another day with you soon, best... Matt
