The following invitation has arrived from Pete Spence, the 911SC register secretary.![[FONT=verdana,geneva"]](/forum/styles/default/pcgb/space.gif ". [FONT=verdana,geneva\"]")
What they're looking for is two cars for an hour each on separate days (Sun and Mon) to be used to demonstrate various repair and servicing techniques, as listed below. Do we have any volunteers for cars and/or people to chat about the work being undertaken? Nick Fearn ****************We have three pit garages for the Technical Arena, in one Parr Motorsport will be showcasing Boxster , GT3, 996 and 997 road and track cars (the modern era), in another pit Chips Away will have a continuous demonstration of repairs to paint dings, wheels and the like and in the third pit garage the club in partnership with a Southern based Independent Porsche Specialist 'Carrera Performance' will put on a demonstration of maintenance and discussions about options and modifications for Classic Porsche including 356, 944, 928 , 911 and 964.
There is as you can see from the attached itinerary an hours slot devoted to the 944, rather than just take over the whole thing I want to include the specific car register members in the activity related to their car. What I am looking for is a little bit of back up on the days and also some one such as yourself who would be willing to commentate on a mike to the spectators about the demonstration in progress, this would obviously require some technical knowledge and mostly enthusiasm. I think this will be a great opportunity to have some fun working on our cars that we love so much any help especially on the commentating front and the supply of a car for an hour would be a great help. You can design your own program based on the list below or add to it, There would have to a little chat with Jez Parsons Of Carrera Performance (mechanic on the day) before the event just to tidy things up.
