Lots of Porsches just went past my house. Likely heading over the Lecht.

I'm guessing too many for a local meeting so more likely an owner's club run / rally.

Anyone know?

No idea but a group of 5 went through Alford Saturday lunchtime-ish - they all had matching saltire stickers with red text on the doors, couldn't make it out though.

Not a local owners club run on yesterday to my knowledge.

P.S. - are you the Glenkindie resident with the grey M4?

I'm in the middle of Alford, but quite often cycle your way - will keep an eye out

Did you get fuel at the Halfway Esso at Oban over the weekend?

No bother - I was impressed when my gf asked, is that a Lotus Elise? She didn't know how she knew either.

Hahaha I was trying to be a bit subtle incase you didn't want to disclose. I've admired your car in the carpark quite a few times. Think there's a yellow one too? But don't see it often.

No, wee change in direction. smile

Leaving O&G behind and dedicating my last few working years to floating wind. cool

Retirement scares me a bit ... idle hands are the devil's workshop and all that. evil

I caught a glimpse of another wee convoy late morning today - maybe four, all silver I think and all with rooves down. smile

Can't say for sure they were Porsches but it did look like it. smile

Will just be local runs from the Porsche Owners Scotland FB group probably. There are lots of owners up in the NE due to all that O&G money and one of the main organisers (driver a black 991.1 GT3) lives up that way and does regular runs over the Lecht etc.

It was. I pointed it out at the start of the thread.

There were 4 of us heading out on Friday, would have been by the Lecht area about 10ish. All roofs down, 3 Porsches and 1 Z4M and varying colours. So might have been another group you saw smile
