Russ Posted 24February, 2014 Report Share Posted 24February, 2014 Just wanted to gauge some interest on this before I go to the trouble of locking it in an arranging payments via the PFA shop Would anyone be interested in a trip to the Bowden car collection as a bit of a cruise? They have a heap of Bathurst cars as well as all sorts of sports cars (300SL, Jags, M1 as well as an RSR, some 356's and other 911s) some details on the car collection are here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo1GriDNEUQ http://www.bowdensown.com.au/private-events-and-tours Hosted by Dan Bowden. Secondary host (for split groups) may be Chris Bowden, depending on availability. Approx. 50 cars on display – specific cars can be requested but not guaranteed. Historical stories and technical details on many of the significant cars. History of Bowden’s Own car care! Q&A Session. Opportunity to purchase Bowden’s Own products including the famous car care and merchandise Safe and secure parking on a sealed surface for all those coming along. Tour Assistants (quantity depends on group size). Minimum number of 25 people applies to all tours Maximum size of 70 people per tour. pricing will be $40 a head - it gets slightly cheaper after 30+ people. Tours run for 3.5 to 4 hours and we like to start them by meeting as a group at a location close to our property, around 9am, so we can break for a late lunch around 1.00pm. If you would like to provide food and drink to your tour attendees, Bowden’s Own offers a range of tour catering options including morning teas and BBQ lunches. Alternatively, we invite you to save some money and bring your own food and drink. We have BBQ facilities on site that are available free of charge. Soft drink cans are available at all times - $1.50/can. They can also organise celebrity appearances for an extra fee (Kevin Bartlett, Dick Johnson, John French etc..) So is anyone keen - register your interest in this thread please and I'll update this post and organise once we hit 25 attendees - I'm currently finding out information on available dates Attendees (18 so far) Russ +1 Cal CarreraG50 ByronBayChris SteveT +1 FlaxSixPackAbs Caledonian +1 Quozl Einstieny + 1 Merv + 4 i like them big bumpers IAM_911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarreraG50 Posted 24February, 2014 Report Share Posted 24February, 2014 Yep in, Like Cal no problem getting others as well. I was lucky enough to tour through here late last year with Dan, his knowledge of the cars is astounding. While we were there they had-: two 934's, Ferry Porsches personal RHD 911S(he kept it in the UK) a 911R 3 or 4 356's including a speedster. Altogether approx 8-10 SIGNIFICANT Porsches. As well as the Falcons Holdens and BMW's etc. At $40:00 its a bargain for a great day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Posted 8July, 2014 Report Share Posted 8July, 2014 So Russ it looks like if you want some commitment from the crew you will need to show us your date (_!_) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 8July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 8July, 2014 So Russ it looks like if you want some commitment from the crew you will need to show us your date (_!_) once we get an indication we'll get 25 people or more i'll put up some information on available dates. After how hard it was to fill the last skid pan i'm not committing to anything without at least an idea on numbers. i don't think that's unreasonable.

Merv Posted 8July, 2014 Report Share Posted 8July, 2014 Absolutely thanks Russ. Do you want me to rustle up a few more local SWBs? merv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Posted 8July, 2014 Report Share Posted 8July, 2014 I'm defiantly interested and i know a few more guys that would be too... Would it be an option to do a joint venture with some other enthusiast group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 8July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 8July, 2014 I'm defiantly interested and i know a few more guys that would be too... Would it be an option to do anoint venture with some other enthusiast group? theres talk that you can request certain cars, so i was thinking of making it sorta 'porsche centric' so if they're okay with that i guess it'd work, i could also put something up on Performance Forums...Absolutely thanks Russ. Do you want me to rustle up a few more local SWBs? merv that'd be great thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAM_911 Posted 8July, 2014 Report Share Posted 8July, 2014 I am interested. But also depends on the date. I will be in Europe in 2 weeks time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
