andrew911 Posted 16April, 2015 Report Share Posted 16April, 2015 ok chatting to JV911 this morning and we think we should just get the first meet going. I need to figure out exactly the location but we are going to go with Brooklyn as the first destination. As suggested by 29PeterG travel is always going to be an issue for some so if this first one works I see no issue us moving around the state to capture more of you and explore some different drives. So - details Sunday 3rd May 7.30-8am meeting - for those wanting to do for a drive I guess we leave around 9.00-9.30? Brooklyn - exact location tbc If its just me and JV I am happy to chat about his car for a couple of hours , but would be great to see as many members there as possible so as we can build this into a regular event cars and coffee at Cavallino is on the 3rd of May, right ?

turboT Posted 16April, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 16April, 2015 cars and coffee at Cavallino is on the 3rd of May, right ? It has ended up that way yes. But this is essentially why we are doing this. We are a rebel breakaway from the crowd group that is a bit sick of the parking situation at C&C and general lack of p-car focus. I mean would you rather wonder around aimlessly looking at the latest Alfa, or pumped up c-class with floro wheels, or instead meet a bunch of fellow p-car enthusiasts, check out metal you are actually interested in, and then go for a drive We are basically the the new Bikers (without the leather and with German engineering between our legs) So far at least a dozen of us and Autohaus have said they are going to turn up with some cars aswell Be good to see you there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corki944 Posted 16April, 2015 Report Share Posted 16April, 2015 Well that just about sums it up then! I also believe Autohaus do go to cars and coffee as well !! and just to clarify, .... not precious, just a P-Car enthusiast (and other cars as well) Thats why i like taken photos of other p-cars and posting them for everyone to enjoy..... Enough said.... Hope to see you on the next one, Thanks JV911, but i will be at Lambton on that day flying the Porsche flag for others to enjoy but hope to catch up soon.

Tit Posted 17April, 2015 Report Share Posted 17April, 2015 I love the initiative but I don't understand the need to purposely clash with C&C. Why not offset it and people get to go to both? But late now for May, though... It has ended up that way yes. But this is essentially why we are doing this.

But late now for May, though... Alot of us went last week to C&C but never got to meet because it is getting a bit out of hand and we were spread all over the place. I think we just wanted something a little more p-car focused, although will more than likely be back at C&C the month after . If we get enough people along and there is a willingness to meet again then we can make it a regular thing and could look at avoid C&C dates.

StephenS Posted 17April, 2015 Report Share Posted 17April, 2015 Im back from exile that weekend and would be keen to catch up with a few of the gang for this..... Longer term I agree with Tit that there is no real need to clash with C&C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 17April, 2015 Report Share Posted 17April, 2015 Just my 2 cents guys ....It's not aboit clashing with C&C on purpose (although it did occur this time)Like most of us, I only get so much Porsche time and for the most part, I have avoided C&C due to parking, the too early hour I have to leave to get said parking, the too large a spread, etc.While I agree it shouldn't clash, I would probably rather go to something like this than C&C.I think if this was held say once every 3 months, it leaves enough time to attend the C&C, other SMT's, car shows, etc. without getting the minister of time upset .... it's also, as mentioned, a great way to put faces to names and actually meet the others we spend so much time with ....

turboT Posted 17April, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 17April, 2015 You have nailed it DreamrAlso to add - I hope we end up meeting and through our shared interest in P-cars want to hang out more, so that when we next go to C&C we all turn up at 6am and take over the joint! I mean we should really to this. Imagine that cafe surrounded by German machinery with the Italian pretenders in their low slung vinyl wrapped exorbitantly depreciating monsters looking on like some one just cheated them, but they can't figure out quite how we so have to do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asgraham Posted 17April, 2015 Report Share Posted 17April, 2015 Normally I would jump at the opportunity to meet fellow P-Car enthusiasts, however I too will either be at work or Lambton Park in Newcastle. I will follow this thread with great interest though, as there is nothing better than getting together and talking Porsche with like minded people. May I suggest the Hunter Valley as a meeting point sometime? Albeit a bit far for Sydney South siders, it's great for a weekend stopover with plenty of places to visit etc. As Dreamr said about the Central coast, I might be a biased as the Hunter is in my back yard.

turboT Posted 18April, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 18April, 2015 Ok. Had to go and pick up the 964 today which took me Northside so I thought I would go and check out the potential destination as suggested by JV911. Perfect We have a location guys for the first meet - boat ramp park, end of George street, Brooklyn (just off mooney mooney bridge). Just before get there you take a sharp right turn and directly on the corner is a cafe called the 'Brooklyn tuckshop.' They have kindly offered to open early at 7.30 so as you can pick up a coffee on the way through. I have also ordered loads of sausage rolls from them that will be served off my 'tea tray' at 8.

Dreamr Posted 18April, 2015 Report Share Posted 18April, 2015 Up until a couple of weeks ago, that little shop was a bookshop .... amazing transformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 19April, 2015 Report Share Posted 19April, 2015 I could be up for it, put me as a maybe.. I'm landing back in Sydney the day before, so let's just see how I'm feeling. I'm all for something regular and Porsche centric, I've also tried to initiate some mid week meet ups in the past with no luck maybe we could try again one day soon. For some reason or another C&C or PCNSW events mostly clash with my calendar which is starting to really bother me as in not doing nearly enough Porsche related stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
