Thanks to every one for the great pictures as ever.

Sorry I missed this event but family holiday in cornwall was already in the calendar.
Maybe next time.

Plus, I would have probably wussed out because of the rain.... :lol:

Really enjoyed my day at Luft!

Great drive over to the event, 10 weeks of diesel spilt over roundabouts then
a good soaking makes for an entertaining sideways exit, dried up on the way home as well, result.

We arrived early and the organisers did a great job of explaining where we needed to go, get photos done and park up. Liked the way cars were displayed in groups, seemed like a lot of thought had gone into that. Met lots of likeminded folk and friends old and new, chilled vibe and a great location, definitely be returning for another one of these. Really enjoyed the DJ, nice to have some good sound playing, took the edge off the miserable weather.

Good to see the hardcore braving the elements just like the bomber crews that were trained there back in the day.
Really heartening to see people appearing in some very interesting and rare cars, they where after all built to be driven IMHO

Well done to the Luftgekault team and everyone who turned up!!!

Cheers

WOW what an event... my summary... RAIN DID NOT STOP PLAY

Unfortutaley I did not have a Porsche on the road to attend in so had to make so with my daily. The turn out was spectacular in spite of the weather. Well worth the drive from Hastings and well done to all those who made long journies in their Porsches in such foul weather.

The orgainsers absolutely nailed it, a massive thank you to making it happen!

Looks to have been a great event. Unfortunatley, irrelevent of the weather, I wasn't able to make it this time. Lets hope it happens again

Although it’s clearly RHD I’d doubt Roy’s has US style fenders on Neil.

Sorry I missed the event but on hols in Italy. It sounded damp but good - how cruel after all that hot weather. Especially like the idea of a DJ. Did that work?

Just to echo what most have said, it was a wonderful day out and an excellent event. sure it would have been nice in the sun, but there were some fabulous cars there and it was really good to see SeanP, Paul, Danny, Neil, Darren and others there in wonderful location. Fingers crossed they repeat the experience!

Danny, please remind me of the colour of your car - it's been driving me nuts since I saw it yesterday (I want to say Stone Grey but could be off).

Nice pic of my Irish green 66 above Danny, had a great day taking the 912 for the first time even in that weather. We've been 3 times this year in the beetle for the sunday scramble meets, its always good.

Bizarely, the rain made it a bit more 'Britgekuhlt'.
LA can keep the sunshine, hardcore brits turn out whatever the weather.
I loved it.
Perfect venue.

If anyone knows the official colours for each of the above, that's really helpful...

.....I think the first one is Tangerine, or Blut orange if you prefer, code 018.

No idea on the other two.
