Hi All

I see Porsche Club GB are putting on a casual Outlaw Meet this Saturday 3pm - 6pm at Brands Hatch with Magnus Walker, I am going, anyone else attending?

Cheers

Nice guy Magnus, but it's all a bit passé now...

I agree Keith, but it’s always nice to see a whole lot of outlaws together. If only they’d thought about it earlier I might have planned on going. But I’m off to the Beaulieu Autojumble instead.

Real 'outlaws' wouldn't want to attend an organised outlaw meeting ...

I will report back on what transpires there, maybe Outlaw is the wrong term these days but in my view there should be a bigger scene for personalised/less than perfect/modified/hot-rod Porsche's in the UK, something individual and different than the standard or restored early cars? Unless there is and it is so underground I've missed it?

Surely more tangible to me if they are driven hard, sound right & sit right, evokes a different conversation too

Only my opinion though

Cheers

I don't know of any event which excludes such cars - even the late lamented Classics at the Castle.

Late or lately KS?

We do all get rather tied up in labels though - they’re old Porsche’s, some stuck, some not. End of

Speaking to Fred at length the other night, I get the feeling that it's toast following the withdrawal of support from Porsche.

[Bootsy]

What a shame. I had a feeling though chatting to other people

Andy are you roughly paraphrasing Grouch Marx ?

'I wouldn't want to be a member of a club that would accept me'

[Lightweight_911]

Exactly !!

to be fair .. that sums up what DDK has always been about

[paul911]

Yes, I agree James

Shame about Classics at the Castle though, was on my doorstep as well!

However there is another late season opportunity for DDK'ers to get together at the Radwinter Air-Cooled Gathering (it's not a car show) on 29th & 30th September in the Midlands that I am organising.

I will post all the details on this General section over this weekend but it is non-profit making event with socialising, driving, food, beer & music with additional opportunity for some track time at Bruntingthorpe and to raise some money for Macmillan for those that fancy it?

Love to see some of you there, all welcome, whatever sort of car you have or want to bring

Cheers
Paul

if all goes to plan .. I'm hoping to be there Paul

[paul911]

Great news James, are you going to have some track time? 2 can share a car for £75.00 each for the afternoon with instruction & Public Liability included
