European meeting/anniversary !!!

Beitrag von Gast »

Hallo !

Sure you don't know me cause it's first time I write something here. I'm frenchy, so please accept all my apologies for all the mistakes I'll write ... :oops:

I sometimes followed your discussions, especially when I was looking for a Probe. I know some of you because we were in contact previouly (mainly through ebay by the way). For sure, your forum (+ Probetalk + ProbeUK) helped me a lot in my decision process. Viel dank ! :P

When I got my car last year (97 16v, 45000 km), I switched to the french forum to get closer contacts with some owners next door. I'm sure you know (or may assume) that there are some Probes here too, which is not the case for all european countries. The community is rather small but quite active. For instance, we have a meeting every 2 months with about 10 people driving from north/center of France mainly. But we got also a swiss Probe last time !
Here is the link to our website you may already know : http://www.probe24v.com

So now I'm back here with a proposal.
Some of us use to look at your website. 8) So my proposal is to invite you to come to our next meeting, 7 June. It would be great to organise something special for the Probe II - 10th anniversary.

If you think that June is too short, what about end September ? There's a Mopar Day (show + track) in Normandy (NW of France) at that time. I've been racing with these nice guys on Arras circuit some weeks ago.
I know you have a big meeting end August, but I'm already in contact with our UK friends who are interested to come.

Are you also interested in such an event ?

GrüB & Dank
Yann

F..K , i was not logged in

yes an european meeting would be a great idea in my opinion!!
But i think it is a hard task to realize, but should be better not a short term meeting.I would prefer September because of the time for the organisation.

So if you really intend to start something let us know

Let's go !!!

Hallo Erik !

It seems everybody agrees with you through Europe, so let's plan it for September. :)
Sure, it will not be easy to do it, but I'm sure we will succeed. Just to give you an idea of the impact of my post : 8 positive answers from UK in half a day ... :shock:

Of course, I'll need a contact to manage each country. I only have two arms ... and one (small) brain :wink:

As your deutsch is much better than mine, could you please make a kind of advertisment/quest to know how much people could be interested in coming in Frankreich next september ? I don't want any final answer, just an idea of what could be deutsch attendance ... :roll:

I've nothing to sell, just fun to share with you ! :wink:

Hallo !

Thanks for your interest.

If you are refering to our next french meeting, please notice it is planned on 7 Juni, not July. :wink: We will meet some km south of Paris.
If you are mentioning a simple visist, I've no problem with that : you are welcome of course ! :P
If you are looking for the european meeting, please notice it will take place in september with regards to wishes people sent to me, and the lot of things I may have to prepare ...

I hope there will be several people from Deutschland in this event as it is based just 1 hour from Paris. I think some checkpoints would be organized in North (Lille) and East of France (Alsace) to drive together. But we will discuss about details/facilities when I'll have a better idea of the number of people who will attend.

Erik, viel dank für dein post ! :wink:

June french meeting & September European meeting

Beitrag von Gast »

Hi !

First of all, please have a look at the pics we took on saturday :
link to the Sologne meeting - 07/06

Bild
This may show you that the Probe family is growing here too ... :wink:


Now, we've done our last spring meeting in France, I'm coming back on this european/anniversary meeting we discussed some weeks ago. So let's talk about this 10th Anniversary meeting we plan to organize in September.

From the various feedbacks I've got up to now, I would say that it would be better to organize it for UK + Germany + France + Swiss + Benelux owners, because other people (Spain, Portugal, Poland, Czek, Russia ...) seem not to be ready to drive 1000s miles/km ... This means a european meeting somewhere in NW Europe ... NE France (as far as we organize it ...).

Here are some questions/suggestions :

- attendance :
do you plan to drive/come to this event ? I still don't need a firm engagement, but a good idea on who is confident in his/her attendance.

- location :
Paris,
Champagne,
Bourgogne,
Alsace,
or any other idea you could have in this area ... ?

- duration :
just one day (saturday or sunday) so you could be free the other day,
or the complete week-end (saturday + sunday) ?

- accomodation :
would you like us to organize it, or would you prefer to be free = to plan it yourself ?

- others :
any input ?

Thanks a lot in advance for your feedback. :P

GrüB
Yann
