Porsche Macan Forums

Just seeing this thread......also got invite plus reminder....

So who all is going?

Not sure what to do or whether to go on my own...

I heard that the owner will be there to open it....a certain Mr. Penske himself ....

I wouldn't mind going to get a look around the place but feel it might be a bit high brow for me. Bigger issue is daughters birthday party which looks like it's landing on that date. Shame but will maybe arrange a trip to have a look around some time.

Anyone know who replaced Paul as salesman or is there someone better I should hook up with?

I have been down twice in the new place, very impressive and got a tour around the service end also....

Not sure what to expect either, am sure there will be those that are just into cars having a nosy and sure why not...

I know one of the finance guys switched to sales....Matt if you know him...he is a sound guy indeed....I had dealt with him a lot and he always tried to make time for a chat when I was in....

It's good to have a few good contacts in the place. I really liked Paul as he treated my 10 year old car mad son so well. You can imagine at that age going for first visit to a Porsche dealership being pretty excited and Paul really gave him the full guided tour. Invited us down to see GT3 RS when they had one and showed off a McLaren in the showroom when we were collecting my Macan. Paul also had said if we ever went to Silverstone that he could arrange for my son to get taken a lap or two with one of the instructors in something pretty decent. Just would like to rekindle that kind of relationship with someone as it makes it all a bit special for the kids but I haven't even been in the place since collecting my car 18 months ago.

hey guys, i am probably going to pop down. I live quite close, think it will be a pretty big event. Not sure if it will be high brow - just a bunch porsche fanatics and a few local celebs no doubt, oh and the Tatler as well,

i am taking my mate, wife isn’t too fussed even though GTS is hers A few drinks probably so will walk back home via a pub. I am keen to see Cayenne, its a possibility......

lol

Is it an evening thing? If so it probably wouldn't suit us even if they wanted me there. Me and the missus sometimes go for a spot of lunch on a friday. Went to Deanes Meat Locker today. Oh this is Thursday.

Yes it's a Friday night event.

MCDK - make contact with Richard Graham at OPC Belfast. Couldn't have treated me better when I traded in my Macan for a 911. He also gave me a tour of the whole place when I visited the new showroom with my 8 year old nephew just before Christmas. My nephew wasn't a Porsche person before (Ferrari, Lamborghini etc.) but due to Richards' hospitality he certainly was afterwards.

Thanks DandyDon, it's great when they treat the kids well as I know at that age going to a Vauxhall or Ford garage with my Dad excited me so can only imagine what a Porsche dealership is like at that age. We need to get a walk around the Ferrari dealership sometime, have looked around outside but never quite brave enough to go inside yet.

I have a 3.5 year old who is just into cars general (have no idea how.....lol).......he just wants in all the cars but can identify that their all Porsche....plus Ferrari etc....

On two occasions Carl himself created him and gave a little gift each time....the little things go along way and he remembers it all....

Wife not so interested in this so may need to bring a friend if one is free....
