Fair enough. If that's who you want as friends and colleagues then that's your choice I guess. Please ask them to where a bright pink Tshirt on the day though so if I do come I can avoid them at all costs.

Reps of ST / RSR / R etc. based on early Porsches but not kits?

I read it this way : ( this is for the show display , not the general admission parking )

they basically want 'Porsche' chassis numbered vehicles

they don't want VW chassis / custom chassis based vehicles

so basically all modified pre-74 Porsches , eg rsr reps etc are fine

they don't want glass speedster replicas etc

wether you agree with this is a different matter ;)

it said quote "all RS's welcome....but NO REPLICA'S!!"

The writer on that occasion at least put his name to it, a chap called Fred Hampton I seem to recall.
I think you will find that it was Cmdr. Eoin Sloan RN (Rtd). :roll:
If you haven't got 2nd gear by the time the lights go green, then you've made a bad start.

Just read this all. What a shameful initial reply, and clearly designed to be dismissive at the very least. It's good that a response has come on since, and of course it's not possible to please all the people all the time, but at least there has been some effort to right things I guess. But blimey - whoever wrote that reply must have known it was going to upset people and really should be put on some different duties next time - "communications" is clearly not their strength :lol:

It looks like a very good line up at Hedingham this year, and well done to those involved in arranging that - as they say, their time is given for free, and I think the event is very good value. I certainly hope to be there. I'll be bringing the Defender this year and will hope for pride of place :)
