How about going to a dealer and test driving one? If you are genuinely interested I am sure that will not be a problem _________________ 9e Supplied 997.1 Turbo, Manual, Black

Good idea; I'll see if I can get along to that.
Do you think people would be up for taking me out though?...might be tricky at a show?

Yes, will do....I've got a couple of dealers 'on the case' but I thought initially it would be nicer away from the sales environment

It is easy to get in and out at the show , the forum members are a decent bunch but I cant speak for them individually as to whether they would take you for a drive but most can be bribed with coffee and bacon butties _________________ 911 Owners,Some Invest In The Future,

yes mate there is also a 911uk stand , they will tell you where everyone is parked and also give you your 911uk 2017 lanyard and id badge. just tell them your forum name and ideally add yourself to the main attendance list in the meets thread , last year we were all parked in the main central hardstanding area but not sure where we are getting put this year. there will be about 1200/1500 porsches there and about a 100 or so forum members

No mate you will be banished to the general car park with all the other nasty front engined cars but you will come in through the main entrance as you will have access to the whole of the site inc the attractions plus the porsches it is a good day out for the whole family as everything that is usually operating on the site is open , you cant miss the porsche area you will see it as soon as you walk in. on the left. _________________ 911 Owners,Some Invest In The Future,

Yes, sure - if you ask nicely they will save you a spot near the front....

Alright, alright, very funny!
I didn't think I'd park on a Porsche stand
Hence asking if I'd park "near" to the forum area; obviously not though
I'd thought about meeting at the services beforehand, thinking that might be a good idea before everyone wanders off round the show???
I'll happily pick you up. I even have sweets and a puppy. _________________ Current: 2009 997.2 C2S, 1999 Audi A3

Meeting at Rownhams would be a good idea mate as the guys are in a group drinking coffee ,a good chance to wander round and introduce yourself. you might even find the wife driving the BMW and you hitching a lift from Rownhams in someones 911. _________________ 911 Owners,Some Invest In The Future,

That sounds like it would be ideal. Nigel (nigel99) has kindly offered to take me out from the show
Anyone willing to take me from Rownhams to the show in their 997.2?...wife has 'agreed' to follow along in our BM
