Wow, another year already upon us!  :o

Town of Northam which is 100klm EAST of Perth Western Australia.

24 July 2011 at Bernard park which is to the right of the Tourist bureau along the river, bring gum boots if it rains!  

The Porsche club website does not say if there will be a gymkhana but after the grim response from the Mercedes Club when they found out at the last minute there was not to be one at the 2010 event i am sure someone will be informed this year and go with it  ;D
Have sent the porches club WA social secretary an email to see if they are doing or not...

So now the challenge goes out to W116ers in WA to attend!  ::)

Burty from Busselton made it last year but the Perth W116 people struggled to make an appearance (again) at least during the sociable time frame of the event ;)

Who goes wins

The Bratwurst van will be there, get in early to avoid the queue and so will those lovely Shannon insurance ladies   :o

PS i will be there and you can have the chance to see my 450SEL 15 inch steel rims with Grosser hubcaps in place  8)

PPS anyone interested in meeting in Sawyers Valley or Mundaring and doing a group drive?????

Might be enough to make one finish off his AMG skirts and turn up.

I'll give it some thought - a convoy would make a great day.

Yes, I should learn not to pull off onto (or was that into) soft shoulders. ;)

Wow, good response!

Hi john6007, sociable hours for this event is 9am to 1pm

Would be great to see TJ450s 6.9 repainted and on display! (and the 190E if Possible!)

Good to see the soft shoulder caper has reached legendary status! (but not the other connotations  :D )

Nathan , should call you the phantom! be great to catch up and exchange notes on 15 inch steels and alloys, i was unable to get Michelin's on my car due to shortages of supply so settled for 225mm Bridgestone Turanza RE 30s which they say is designed for '...large European cars.' have to say the car drives like a floating carpet now. Definitely bring the  G Wagon, that is one hell of a project!

The convoy challenge is out there, just need the numbers now....

I'm up for Northam - and unlike the last drive I will make it this time  :) also happy to meet up in Mundaring if others are keen...

My cars are in between York & Northam but could go via The Lakes to join a convoy.
Just need some timing details.

Hi john6007, if we can get a posse together it will be great to pick you up through the convoy at the Lakes. If we cannot get the numbers  :( i can meet you in York as i can fang down that nice little road between Tammin and York easy enough from where i am located  ;)

I noticed no one picked up the 'deliberate'   ::) mistake in the first post...'Northam which is 100klm West of Perth Western Australia'.  ;D

PS Bill, do you know of any good muster points between Sawyers and Mundaring for a SUNDAY morning muster?
