Porsche Independent Enthusiasts Club - Derby 30th July

This is just down the road from me at Elvaston Castle Country Park. Anyone thinking of going? Thought i might take a mosy on down to have a look round. Is it likely to be full of beardies discussing why water cooled engines are the poor relation?

I can't make the TIPEC event this year, but past experience ( at Walton Hall ) has shown this to be one of the most relaxed and informal Porsche days out available - and for sensible money.
Turn out is usually very good, and if the facilities are anything like those previously available, take a picnic with you.

We're all going, last year they had 1,300 Porsches and they've moved to Elvaston for more space....

Yup TiPEC SELNK region will be travelling up from Kent, anyone wanting to join the convoy welcome! Just PM me. Should be a good day!
Couldn't make last years one as my Co. flew me to Amsterdam!

Quite the opposite, TIPEC are definitely not the "air cooled is the only way" crowd, nor are they as 911 biased as i have found PCGB to be in the past. Very broad spectrum of owners and cars, from tidy old 924 to mint 928GTS and all the 911's and Boxsters too. Great crowd i find.

Emmbarrassing question my group is wall to wall 924/924S/944 with one each 928, 911 & 996! Just the way they joined....

[clarkeyjnr]

Ahhhh... Good news all round then. Should be fun!
Maybe I'll be able to find the Chrome Carrera Badge I've been hunting for for the back on my porker......

I look after Thames Valley region and like to think its a nice informal club that embraces all models.

I am definately not your bearded pipe smoking type, not yet anyway and I have a 996.

I'll be there and looking forward to it - pop up to our regions stand for a chat

The facilities with regard to food and drink are much improved this year - there is a beer tent for one thing which to be honest I wont be straying too far from.

Cheers
