this date "sneaked-up on me" no trips out for me today ( also fettling older FIAT's),

have a great time all..!!


hope to see a fair few of you in the next 2 weekends,

Charlie

Well, those that couldn't make it didn't miss anything. This is without a doubt the worst show I've been to, rows & rows of Alfa 156 & 159's and little else. A nice quartet or 100HP's and a few other Fiats but generally crap. Auto Italia has little to worry about!

Me & my lad hav'nt done Stanford yet but I think we'll give it a shot this year. Fortunatly, this one was only 1/2 an hour away. Oh, and I forgot to mention the appalling F40 copy.

No way! Really?? I had high hopes for this show. Maybe next year it'll pick up but thought it might be quite good

What about the supercars?

Some really nice cars, for me the 4c was the best,

Nice to meet a few of Forum members today, and looking forward to Stanford in a couple of weeks.

Very interesting day for us. We arrived with one car, and left with two!

Not that super I'm afraid. There was an F360,F355 & a Maserati 4200 from the company that runs experience rides there plus a nice Dino & the 4C and that was it apart from the sad looking F40 clone.

The Dino wasn't a Dino ;-)

What was it?

MR2 GT according to the DVLA

Well I never! Just shows some clones can be convincing! Unlike the F40!

The carbon rear spoiler on the F40 was nice ;-)

Which was your car maggers ?

Ah, Was'nt on show. Went with my son in his Punto MK2 with Abarth kit but we just went rather than showing. he was disappointed there weren't any Mk2's there but we both liked the MK1 GT.

Yeah, it was a bit disappointing on the whole. I was in one of the 4 Pandas. I'll still go again next year....maybe word will get around. Would have liked to have seen more traders there too. Not sure about the cushion stall or the bloke who thought he was at a jumble sale!!

Ditto on the trade stands although I was supprised to fit the Alfa one is based on an estate 1/2 a mile from where I live. Which Panda was yours? Not the one with the bored girlfriend asleep in it? My eldest son has a grey one but he's just selling it.

Haha....yes, she did look bored!!
I was in the grey one.

think the turnout was a bit poor , probably down to the weather Saturday, I thought the dino looked a bit suspect , glad you liked the gt ??the White uno turbo did it for me , I remember going in my mates years and years ago and still remember the smile it put on my face ,
had a good chat with two guys in the other uno ?? (sorry I am rubbish remembering names )
travelled about 80 miles and my 5 year old son saw a mate from school whose mum and dad were in a Alfa .
got a small running issue to sort but I will be at Stanford hall ?
