Looked like a fantastic weekend James, would loved to have around at the time and look forward to anything similar in the future
The only thing with 'events' like the C2C (and don't get me wrong they're great when they happen and I'll want to be involved), as James well knows, is that they require a lot of organisation, planning, confirming numbers, chasing decisions, a lot of time out, often considerable expense, arranging people into groups, trying to accommodate all tastes etc etc etc - and often because they are a big deal it's got to be hard to put together.
I'm thinking more of a
non-event, no major planning by anyone, no confirming numbers, no admission charges, no arrangements, just a
'meet' - a Sunday morning for a few hours, a set day, a good location, a car park full of early Porsches, a coffee shop, the chance to get together, leave the keyboard alone and just look at each others car and chat - our own thing, just
DDK people and DDK cars.
Sure individual groups will make plans to drive down together, others might arrange a hotel the night before to arrive early but that's up to them and not a requirement - the meet would just be a time and place where DDK comes together.
For many such an occasion just wouldn't be enough and they'd want to do more and that's where a proper 'event' kicks in - the spin off could be that you get to know a greater number of people and there's more enthusiasm and attendence for future proper events.
