UK Rennteamers meet Porsche Jeck
I thought some of you may be interested to hear that some of us Rennteamers defied the torrential rain and got together over the weekend. 
Porsche-Jeck and his wife have been touring Denmark (where they met up with Dr Phil), Norway, England and Wales on holiday. I hope Porsche-Jeck will post some photos and an account of his travels in due course. 
So when they reached Beaulieu, near the South coast of the UK, dreamcar and I (together with our wives) spent some time with them. dreamcar and Porsche Jeck enjoyed dinner on Saturday evening after dreamcar's visit to the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
On Sunday, from their hotel in Beaulieu, the Montagu Arms Hotel, we all went for a drive for about 1.5 hours in the surrounding areas and the New Forest. All the while it was raining unfortunately but we didn't let that dampen our spirits!

It was so cool with dreamcar leading the Porsche convoy in his Cobalt Blue/Sea Blue 987S, Porsche Jeck sandwiched in the middle in his Seal Grey/Cocoa 987S and me bringing up the rear in my GT Silver/Cocoa 997S. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the view from behind of those Boxster S's sprinting ahead in front of me. What a beautiful car the 987S is!
We then had a great lunch at the Cart and Horses, which is a country pub and restaurant in Kings Worthy, near Winchester. Following that, we had another drive of about 1 hour.

I hope dreamcar can give more details of the route we took on each of our two drives and that Porsche Jeck will post some photos of our convoy. As we were leaving we got a toot of the horn and a thumbs up from a Lotus Exige S driver. I guess it was pretty obvious we were part of a Porsche convoy even though there were only three cars!
A big, big thank you to dreamcar and his wife for coming up with some great routes for us to drive on and for arranging lunch. The views (even in the rain) of the New Forest were breathtaking. Unfortunately I didn't take photos in such continuous rain...
I had to return to London after that in some shocking driving conditions. Heavy rain caused a lot of local flooding and there were plenty of moments when I feared my 997S might aquaplane in the heavy pools of surface water but, the car did the business admirably with no fuss. Isn't that why we buy a Porsche? All in all, I drove 296 miles in some really, really atrociously wet driving conditions.
Today, Porsche Jeck and his wife are due to head towards London where we'll be spending some more time with them.
All the best,
Easy

A missed opportunity. 
Greatly enjoyed yours (and easy's) company
