SW Friday OPC meet

[garyw]

After the kind offer from the Exeter OPC to welcome us on the 16th, It's been decide to meet up for about 2pm at the OPC;

Exeter OPC
Matford Park Road
Matford Business Park,
Marsh Barton Trading Estate,
Exeter,
EX2 8FD
They have offered us free tea and coffee, a free check of your cars lighting system and a free level check

Also available is something that many threads have mentioned.... Nitrogen filled tyres[8D] they are offering this at half price (its usually £20)
Its worth noting that Yes you can get it done cheaper but this is being done by experts in Porsche and they actually do two fills in order to remove as much existing air from your tyres. So a much better service and one I will be happily accepting[]

From there we have a route that takes us via the Shell fuel stations onto the nice route to the evenings hotel.
We plan to eat at a local recommended pub to save having to eat from the same menu for two nights running...

Obviously we accept that not everyone can make the daytime and some may have to arrive late on the night, so if you could let me know your plans it would be appreciated.

I will be leaving the midlands for about 11 in the morning prior to heading down the M5 if anyone wants to meet up enroute..

M5
Junction 8 approx 11.45am - services

Junction 19 approx 12.30am - services

Think I will give the N2 a whirl and see how it goes! For the Friday evening meal, table(s) booked for 8pm ish - for the info of those not coming via Exeter OPC. 'Tis but less than 10 mins from the hotel and I hope to "borrow" a 15 seater to do the shuttle so no problems with parking/drinking etc at the pub![] What you all need to concentrate on is appeasing the Weather Gods who have been particularly angry down this way of late.

 

[garyw]

Exactly Captain, you can't knock it until you've tried it [] And its very good of Exeter to give us the chance.. garyw

 

[Helen Goff]

well try and meet you at the services for 11.45 but if we arn't there don't wait for us.

Hi Gary, Pam and I are planning on travelling down in the afternoon so should be at the OPC just after 2pm - see you there and fingers crossed for the weather!!

 

[Lancerlot]

Will look to be at Junction 27 around 1.15pm. Regards, Clive

Guys and Gals, Exeter OPC are requesting an idea of how many will be showing up there on 16th. so parking and workshop space can be reserved, technicians and other facilities laid on etc. [] So far, from this thread, I have gleaned the following will be attending:- garyw tscaptain Helen Goff jbm Lancerlot Rufus husky john crannis pwebb If there is anyone else, please let me know. Many thanks, Clive

 

[garyw]

Super... which bit though [] ??

 

[Lancerlot]

Thanks for the info. So it'll be 7 cars meeting up at Exeter OPC at 2.00pm next Friday. I am assuming that'll be x 2 personnel-wise. I believe they're laying on some light refreshments for us while the cars are being checked. [] Slight change of plan for me. Will be travelling over a bit earlier now so that nice man from Fezza, across the road, can bolt my door back on. [] Looking forward to the weekend tremendously. [] Regards, Clive

 

[garyw]

I might follow you over the road to have a shifty over the metal [8D] [] garyw

 

[Lancerlot]

They currently have a customer's F40 in for safekeeping! [8D] [] Regards, Clive

Do they realise the nature of the motley crew about to descend on them Friday pm?[] I think I will be solo at the OPC - I think Mrs C might struggle with N2 inflation and drooling over cars (again). We're looking forward to the weekend very much too - early signs are that the weather may be kind(ish)[&:]

 

[Lancerlot]

Well, they seem to tolerate me (just)!!!!!! [8|]

Yes, I can cope with one child on it's own but when there are 10 of them..............[]

 

[john crannis]

Gary may just have forgotten to pass on my intention to be at Exeter OPC between 2 and 3pm

 

[Lancerlot]

OK, thanks. So that'll be 8 cars and 15 people then. [] I'll advise Exeter. Regards, Clive.

 

[pwebb]

We're planning on being there too, Clive, sorry only just picked up your request for numbers

 

[bobfair]

Have a great weekend guys and sorry I cant be with you. I will be tracking the GT 3 at Castle Coombe on Thursday for the first time so if any of you are there say hello. I couldnt go down to Devon because my west country accent gets very strong when I do and I sound like one of the Wurzzles!!
