Well done James, another great weekend. Just a shame I couldn't stay for the Sunday and sorry for not saying goodbye to everyone.

Good to meet up with old friends and some new faces (new to me that is!)

When's the next meet up?

I quite fancy an evening fish & chip run over to Flamborough Head ;)

John, we can always have another photo do later in the year .... on the photos youve based so far I'm sure there will be quite a few DDK'ers wanting their cars photographed ;) ( me included when I get mine back on the road ) a

Looks to have been a great weekend - would have been good to meet up but hopefully I'll be out & about in my car soon.

:lol: it's for when there's a dangerous driver in a 993 chasing you Darren!

Some great shots and Hendrik's 356 looks stunning 8) I want one but not much chance of that happening!

Hope there will be another meet up soon if we can organise a second sunny day.

Have to say, I'm historically anti-car club / forum. I hate Pistonheads with a passion.... :bounce:

But DDK only seems to have members who're genuinely interested in driving the cars for fun, talking about ownership other than the Nurburgring lap time etc.

Great to meet so many owners with a shared passion. Peter reminded me of a few swear words I'd forgotten as well. His financial advice regarding Porsche ownership I know many found invaluable.... "You money's not worth a W@nk in the bank" :lol:

Only shot a few frames, was too busy chatting, but will put them up later. Thanks to James for organising, you've fired me up to be an aircooled 911 owner once more..
