A ‘weekend’ roadtrip
Posted: Mon Jun 03, 2019 9:48 pm
Photo session finished and emails swapped we finalised the route to the last hotel.
It had always been an idea if we had time to stop off at the most famous Porsche ‘tuning’ company in the world , RUF . So without any call ahead we decided to drop by and have a look around the show room, get some pics of the cars etc. So 7 scruffy guys from the UK randomly park on the forecourt in front of the RUF showroom and wander in for a look around. We weren’t expecting anything g really, but what a loverly welcoming company Ruf is. After being offered some coffee a guy called Marc came out to meet us all and asked if we’d like a tour of the workshops !! He said usually you have to book ahead by months and currently they were extremely busy as a couple of staff were off, it he’d see what he could do . Marc was an absolute star and spent the next couple of hours showing us around and chatting in great details about the cars and the company . No photos allowed unfortunately but we got to see everything from the workshops, paint shops , engine dyno rooms etc etc
My favourite was an oak green 964 in for a full RuF build with light green interior and monster turbo motor.....I for one deffo now want a RUF
RUF are also an official Porsche service centre ... in case any of you modern Porsche owners want a cool OPC stamp in the service book
