Fair enough. If that's who you want as friends and colleagues then that's your choice I guess. Please ask them to where a bright pink Tshirt on the day though so if I do come I can avoid them at all costs.

I'm not going. But I know a man with a big stick who might be!

Ok, I think points have been made and let's leave it at that now please.

without wanting to reignite things again im assuming all this was resolved as some of the specialist dealers had 'reps' up on display at the castle.......

Reps of ST / RSR / R etc. based on early Porsches but not kits?

i was thinking all of these reps are made from recomissioned parts so therefore technically all Porsche although not the original bulld

I read it this way : ( this is for the show display , not the general admission parking )

they basically want 'Porsche' chassis numbered vehicles

they don't want VW chassis / custom chassis based vehicles

so basically all modified pre-74 Porsches , eg rsr reps etc are fine

they don't want glass speedster replicas etc

wether you agree with this is a different matter

Eggsactly!

Don't get me started

Here we go again..... Another year

Maybe this year we would all turn up on mass and have some type of tee shirt printed?

it said quote "all RS's welcome....but NO REPLICA'S!!"

The writer on that occasion at least put his name to it, a chap called Fred Hampton I seem to recall.

I think you will find that it was Cmdr. Eoin Sloan RN (Rtd).

Just read this all. What a shameful initial reply, and clearly designed to be dismissive at the very least. It's good that a response has come on since, and of course it's not possible to please all the people all the time, but at least there has been some effort to right things I guess. But blimey - whoever wrote that reply must have known it was going to upset people and really should be put on some different duties next time - "communications" is clearly not their strength

It looks like a very good line up at Hedingham this year, and well done to those involved in arranging that - as they say, their time is given for free, and I think the event is very good value. I certainly hope to be there. I'll be bringing the Defender this year and will hope for pride of place

(only kidding!!)
