Few weeks ago I took part in one the biggest and most fun meetings of the last few years. It was quite close to the Nurburgring so offcourse I had a few laps around there. I'll give you guys a small report, since this was a rather special meeting. It was even attended by some staff from Ford Germany with a car from their collection
To put it short; a total of 120 different Puma's from all over Europe and outside (Moscow!) were present. This makes this the largest gathering we ever had and probably will have in a long time. The meeting started on friday with everybody arriving at the camp site in Dorsel, Germany (15km from the Nurburgring). We started our travel in the south of the country and we took a scenic route with multiple hairpins in the beautiful Eifel region of Germany. After we arrived offcourse we built up our tents and enjoyed the arrival of friends and new friends!
On Saturday I went to the Nurburgring in the afternoon. However the highlight was still to come; the organisers rented the Nordschleife to hold a concours on the closed track with all the cars. Allready the way from the camping site to the 'Ring was awesome with many people looking towards us instead of off the many supercars that were present! Offcourse there were people waving, flashing lights etcetera. Very cool! The concourse on the track was great fun with plenty of onlookers along the track. Everywhere you looked there was a Puma. I wish it was like that in normal traffic
Unfortunately the meeting ended on Sunday, but it did save me a few more hangovers! After a good journey it was a lot of fun seeing all the pictures appear all over the club websites.
If you have a Puma yourself and like to join please contact me or the club in your country. The 7th - 9th of September we are also having a big meeting in The Netherlands. It'd be very nice to see you there!
