Simon. Also known as 'captain slow' or 'Hamilton' (not for his speed though). Founding member
of the club. Often seen out at the front, leading the way on any excursion - especially in the tricky navigational
sections - but usually arrives at club destinations at the back of the pack. Has a habit of running in to the back of
others and although always the cleanest, his cars have a tendancy to break down. Has owned an air-cooled VW Beetle,
a 911 3.2 Carerra, 2 968s (one sport manual and one coupe tiptronic) before landing in his current 996. |

Andrew. Also know as 'sat nav'. Gets easily lost, especially when the club ventures out of Cheshire,
but his venture scout background ensures we always have a campfire when we need one. Has owned an air-cooled VW Beetle,
a 911 3.2 Carerra (cabrio) before upgrading to his 993 C2 S. Currently the head of the 993 (and air-cooled) club registers. Unfortunately he is also the only member and
so we have had to create a 'blue car' register to ensure he does not feel left out. He is currently the Events Secretary.
If anyone has the key to his wallet please contact the club as he seems to have lost it. |

Jamie. Also known as 'dad'. Jamie has taken on the management of the club's annual trip to Le Mans
and as such has become the father-figure in the club. A 1000 mile trip taking in East Anglia and Devon from his base
in North Wales in a day is the norm for Jamie, with 3am starts not uncommon. He started with a 993 C2 Tiptronic S but
has recently leapt to the dizzy heights of a 996 turbo. Having not had to change gear for a few years he is slowly getting used to using his left leg and arm. Anyone
with a spare gearbox give us a call. |
|
|
Ian. Also known as 'sleepy'. Ian has been a regular on the annual
trip to Le Mans and his fluent French has got us into and out of many interesting situations. Ian
has a tendancy to use club outings to relax. He is famous for sleeping through most things including the start
of the 2008 Le Mans 24 hr race. He will also go down in history for creating the club name PORSCHESHIRE. He is
about to be the founder-member of the Boxster register. |
|
|
Phill. Also known as 'tweezers'. Phill takes the credit for the 'edgy' cheshire
cat logo used on the 2008 Le Mans trip (well, someone who works for him anyway). Now the proud owner of a 996 C4S
once owned by not only a Gladiator, but also our very own Chumleys - both of them!

Ian. Mr. Seal (or Ron to his friends) is also known as 'the other other Ian. Ian is another veteran
of our Le Mans trips although he has yet to make the journey of a Porsche of his own. He did threaten to buy a Corvette
for a while, but after a period of therapy he realised his mistake, bought a 996 turbo and is currently completing 100000 lines of 'I must not buy an American muscle car, I must not . . . . '

Lou. Also known as 'junior webmaster'. Lou is a regular attendee at club events in the UK and
the annual trip to Austria. She also has the responsibility of keeping the website up-to-date during the club's
trip to Le Mans each year. She is currently studying for her GCSE in Porsche history, specialising in 911 model numbers.
Was rumoured to be considering buying a Boxter, but wimped out and bought an Audi TT.

|
B. Also known as 'B'. B takes the credit for the annual club trips to Le Mans.
#1 and #2 had been talking about going to Le mans for some time but it was B that did the investigating and found the Travel
Destinations/PCGB info. She is also a regular at the club outings in the UK and the annual trip to Austria. Has
recently jumped back into a VW Beetle (the third one). Cool.

Jonathan. One of our junior members. Joined us on his first Le mans trip in 2008 with his dad,
who is #11s brother. Famous for wearing his PORSCHESHIRE T-shirt to the official Friday night PCGB bonfire. Rebel.
|
|
|
Tom. Another of our younger members. Has been on the le Mans trip with his dad (#11) but could
not make it in 2008. Some excuse or other to do with having to have surgery in hospital. Excuses, excuses.
The youth of today have no back-bone.

|
Ian. Also known as 'The other Ian' or 'The Mad Irishman' or 'Chumley Warner #2'. We first met
#9 at Le Mans in 2005 when his car alarm kept us awake on our first night at the camp site. He is famous for turning
the official le mans hospitality into a BYO night-out. He is also famous for falling off his motor-cycle, which is why
we think he has a roll-cage fitted to his GT3 even though he only ever goes to the supermarket in it. Often found drinking champagne with Chumley Warner #1. |
|
|
Dave. Also known as 'champers' or 'The original' (Chumley Warner #1). Dave
is famous for 2 things. Firstly, his ability to drink champagne. Secondly, his ability to walk unaided (without
a safety rope) after numerous bottles of said champagne, in the dark (without a torch) and then disarm a complex piece of
21st century car security. [For more details see reference to car alarm in #9's profile.] It was like watching
a professional mime artist at work. And he says he can't remember doing any of it ?? His membership was recently
down-graded when he announced that he intends to replace his C4S with an Aston (although so far he has only replaced it with
a Merc.....).

|
|
Chris. Also known as 'Goose'. Saw Top Gun, thought he was Tom Cruise, packed his case and trotted off
to Biggin Hill where he was promptly told he was more like Woody Harrelson and should have a career re-think. Unfortunately
he can't play basketball either. On this year's le mans trip he was co-pilot for our very own (in his dreams
anyway) 'Maverick' - #2. He is also known as 'stool' for reasons that do not come easily.

|
|
Sarah. Not only is Sarah our catering specialist, she was recently appointed as car sticker programme
manager following the resignation (he was sacked really) of our former sticker-man (#2). She also happens to be his
wife. We arwe looking forward to her catering arrangements for the trip to the Pageant of Power event.
|
|
|
Mike. Also known as Steptoe. Mike was recently appointed as the club entertainment manager (specialising
in stand-up) after his successful audition during the le mans trip in 2009. During situations where is not able to stand-up,
he also has resoponsibility for 'ideas' such as his most recent invention - the gravity-fed watering device.

|
Josh. Also known as Pad-u-wan. Uses the force to full effect.
|
|
|
Dave. Also known as Northern-Dave so as not to confuse him with our Chumley Dave. Full profile
to follow.
|
|
|
Jason. Also known as 'clint'. A man of few words. Had to share with #3 on the
2009 le mans trip. Made his day, apparently.
|
|
|
Reggie. Another young gun. Likes the colour blue and Ben 10. Don't upset him or he'll
press his Omnitrix and set cannonbolt after you. (And that's a monster not a 1980's double-act!)
