well theres really not much that can get wet inside really, seats, carpet...errrrrr, thats it....oh and ME....

i have a small sheet and some bunjees, in case it pours down, just to cover the seats....

kevin......just been for a 20 mile juant, all seemed ok apart from red light as per usuall.

Things that i'd like to happen:
Vernon brings the samples.
We figure out my oil-leak.
We figure out my new issue.

Currently sitting in wetherby services on the way home and thought I'd get these up from the AWARD WINNING Fiat Forum stand at Thoresby:



Top day and fantastic to see all these Pandas and owners in one place. Someone on the awards panel obviously thought so too!

Are we putting stuff in here or the event thread?
I gained a cat.

Both! spread the word. Sorry I ditched you a bit on the way up there, hadn't twigged the M18 turnoff was coming up. Good to see you.

The rain didn't last that long, but the place emptied. I reckon half the cars went.

it seems a long time when its bouncing off ya bonce......lol

did actually rain quite hard at one point, seemed worse when people in hard tops looking at ya thinking....look at that idiot in a convertable......

What an excellent day. Some top Pandas and some top people Hopefully we can make it a regular thing, the award was a bonus too, wasn't expecting that. A shame the rain seemed to put alot of people off, still, it seemed like there was plenty of intrest in our cars.

Was quite funny the amount of times i hears "ooh my friend/dad/son/daughter/uncle/whoever had one of these!"

Big thanks to all you guys and gals for making it a special day..

It was great to catch up, chat and check out our pandas...

I think the classic panda section should be re-named " the award winning classic panda section"....

Great to see everyone today. Get some more pics up please!

Had to fill up on the way back as I didn't think a mk1 petrol tank would do 350 miles - my first 175 miles up North today did 49.4 mpg brim to brim If I'd tried for economy goodness knows what I would have managed - I wish I had tried now, as I've never got near 50mpg with a car before!! :worship:

It was a steady 68/70 all the way up to Thoresby as I was trying not to blow a hole in my (very) bodged exhaust - which is still happily bodged after 350 miles believe it or not Doubt I'll get anywhere near that mpg coming back as the traffic was bad & I wanted to get home (exhaust or not), so hoofed it a bit more, all things being relative in a 45CL........

Heres a few pictures, they're not great but they'll do for now.
(I forgot to take pics of the 750. )

A bit late as we've not long arrived back home. Glad we B&B'd it last night though as it was quite a trek, plus the old farmhouse made a nice backdrop for a Panda pic.

Great to see all those who attended, especially the new faces. Great to see the cars too, the classic Panda section can put on a pretty good display now, the show organisers seemed to agree.

Here's my pics, similar to those already posted I'm afraid........

Funny you mentor MPG. Was eco running it on the way, and return in the 750L, but could have done a bit better, and she wasn't running 100%, yet she returned 50.2 MPG on her fill up in Norwich according to fuelly
