One of the great things about Cars and Coffee Liverpool is the sheer array of
car clubs and different automobile owners within the meeting. Phil Graham the
Regional Director of the Porsche owners club Great Britain - a great friend of
C&CL (he always gets the crowds attention every time he rocks up in his vibrant
Mexico Blue Porsche 991 GT3 RS) informed us about a great local Porsche
gathering this month - Porsche on the Prom.
We took our pastel blue Porsche 911 joined by many fellow members of Cars and
Coffee Liverpool on a wonderful and enjoyable drive to Llandudno.
What a great name to call their annual meeting ‘Porsche’s on the Prom’. Mind you,
if your not a Porsche afficionado you might think it was Porsche owners and their
expensive cars heading to the prom wearing a tux and gown!
As the saying goes, ‘If your names not down you ain’t coming in!’ The advantages
of being in the Porsche Owners Club - tea, coffee, bacon rolls and a light lunch
organised by the Menai Suite in the St George’s Hotel, which is perfectly placed
opposite the entrance to the promenade. Not scaring the tourists or the locals away,
it is a free event for you to roam around the vehicles and meet the owners.
More than 500 Porsches descended on Llandudno promenade, directed and
positioned in a Le Mans-style parking arrangement. It’s surprising the number of
Porsche models on display that day varying from the latest versions of 911-991 to
Cayman GT4 and the newest 4x4 Mecan, most importantly the older and more
authentic models such as 914, 928, 356 and older 911. You name it, every colour
under the sun was there like the ultimate toy shop!
They couldn’t have chosen a better day for the weather, with the picturesque views
of the Great Orme behind and the infinity views of the sea in front.
A great excuse for you and your partner to have a cruise to this beautiful seaside
resort, enjoy the interesting banter with fellow Porsche owners, or even stroll to the
pier down through memory lane with the fine aromas of sugary doughnuts
and ice cream parlours. It’s a must!!!
See you same time next month for more banter and automobiles at the next
Cars and Coffee Liverpool.
