John and I are going to be getting to Porscheshop for 9.30, so I'd guess he'll want to leave Hemel by 8.00-ish. Happy for anyone else who wants to join us as long as you're there by then.
Hi Paul Could you bring some Register Stickers on Saturday please? Mike

Hi Edd, thanks for postcode. Hi Paul, will be there before 0800- hoping the wet weather forecast is wrong. See you guys on Saturday. Cheers Ron Paul- could I please have a register sticker as mine was left on my 86 Lux-thanks.

With a bit of luck I'll meet some of you guys at hemel as well
For those coming up from the South, Jarman Park is about 2 miles west of M1 Jnt 8 ( Lat 51.748255 Log -0.456263) Not sure how fast Paul is intending to go but my AutoRoute says if we leave at 8:00 we will arrive at Porscheshop at 9:46 I really wanted to be there for 9:30 so will be leaving at 8:00 sharp. I shall now set my alarm for 5:30 []

No way it's 1 hour 45, and we'll be doing a very steady early-morning pace. [8|] 8.00 will be the last leaving time. If you're delayed, we'll be the slow-moving convoy making it's way up the M1.

Can't say thanks enough to Ian and all the Porscheshop team for today. Not least becasue they did a run to McDonalds when the burger van failed to turn up! [] Well done everyone who braved the early morning rain, and it was good to meet some new owners as well as catch up with many of the regulars. I don't think the poor guys in the workshop had a break from inspecting cars and fixing minor faults for free, and fitting some of the parts that were on special offer. I now have a shiny new exhaust, rather than the rattly old thing that was trying to fall off on the way there. Thanks also to Dave Roberts for, yet again, bringing his race-prepared 944 along for us to drool over. He also brought along examples of his re-trimmed seats, amazing to see how good they can look after a re-trim. We'd like to run this again next year, if there are any things you feel we could include then please let me know. Events are always very flexible, and it's your input that we try to work from. Porscheshop are working very hard behind the scenes with parts suppliers to ensure continued availability if and when Porsche begin to phase out production of spares for our cars, something we will be relying on more and more in the future. It also shows why having a Club is important. This isn't meant to be laying into the people who aren't members, you're very welcome anyway. Just that we do need to keep the momentum going within the 944 community. Porsche, or anyone else, aren't going to be concerned with the odd 944 owner who occasionally frequents a forum. They will, however, work with a Club who have close on 1000 944 owners in the UK, all keen to see the model supported in the future. Most people join the Club because it works out free with the discounts you can benefit from, I prefer to see it as a place that we can all group together and work to keep the cars where they should be - the best-value classic car available today? [8|] A great way to see the year out, it's been the busiest year for 944 events I've seen in my 6 years of membership. Next year is even better, it's all top secret at the moment so if I told you about it now I'd have to kill you, but watch this space. []

Hi All Want to record my thanks to Ian, all at Porscheshop and to John and Paul (the chrome tailpipe does look great - thanks) and everybody for turning up. Great to put faces to the names and refresh previous aquaintances. Mike Jenny and Craig PS Jenny only has a slight crick in her neck now!
