The Performance Automotive Aftermarket Association (PAAA) recently got together to hold a special meet for both industry members and the general public, supported by Pistonheads and hosted by 09D - and it's fair to say there was a truly eclectic mix of cars (tanks), people and weather!
The Performance Automotive Aftermarket Association (PAAA) is the UK's leading voice for the performance tuning industry.
They basically exist to protect the right to modify your car and by working in unison with the Government and a multitude of industry members (brands that you will all have heard of and used before), ensures they can influence legislation and support businesses through advocacy, networking, and industry expertise.
So when we offered to host a special PAAA event for both members and the public to attend - and invited our friends at Pistonheads along, we already knew it was going to be a great recipe for a car-focused social event - that even the British weather couldn't spoil.

The eclectic mix continued inside the main 09D building, where apart from warming up... our machine shop was continuing to produce components for our various upgrades, giving everyone present a chance to see how we design, develop and manufacture all under one roof - lined up next to some serious machinery from the BMW, Porsche and Ford family.
It was a great chance for so many industry names and faces to catch up with each other whilst talking to customers alike... all unified by a shared passion for performance cars - and the modifications that we all love to make for them... and to them.

A big thank you to all the PAAA members that came along and braved the weather (Racingline, MMX Performance, HP Tuners, Cobra Exhausts, Turbosmart, Haltech, PWR), to Pistonheads for their support and of course, to all of the enthusiasts that made the effort, we all appreciate you and look forward to the next one!
