I had a great day,met some more enthusiastic Barchetta owners and also interested punters who are very complimentary about them.

Weather turned a little bit pants in the afternoon but not too bad.

It went very well thanks to the efforts of Ben and his team. Thanks Guys and Gals. Look forward to seeing you at ForzaLIVE in June.

A good day out (apart from a couple of heavy showers). Lots to see. I was at a bit of a disadvantage though as I couldn't put any forum names to the many faces.

With ref to the showers.

One of the Barchetta owners closed all our open roofs,seeing as you don't need the keys to do this.

Thanks to them from me,seats still got a little damp.

Join the club, I think I spotted and recognized maybe 3 from either their car or chatting to them!

I recognised some cars but their owners weren't with them at the time.

I was probably more at a disadvantage in that I flew over and didn't have a car on show (apart from the hire car ).

Haha oh, I saw some cars & owners, but they were all busy talking and I didn't want to just bustle in!

Was a goood day though!

Indeed. It was very nice when the sun shone. And in true Northern Ireland fashion, I came away with a sunburnt face!

glad to hear you enjoyed your "day-trip",

I'd have offered a lift if I'd actually gone.. poor planning meant our 2004 panda goes on the road TODAY
Noxide - the Forum used to dish out "Name - badges" even had a little slip in it do go on your cars dash - so people knew who it belonged to,

:idea: maybe they were cancelled at the request of furryballs, or Welshlover69

glad you all had a great day..!!,
Charlie

Name badges might have been handy.

The show was lacking in non-100HP Pandas from our era a bit. There was a cumbria beige dynamic but the majority of the rest were 100HPs.

See you next year, thanks

Thank you for that pic. It brings back memories of sitting on the embankment in the sun last year which seemed like a great idea at the time until we realised we had to get back down again and it's steeper than it looks. It was a case of sod dignity and we scooted down on our bums

 

[Noxide]

Did anyone else here struggle to even park on the banking, let alone walk it??

Gallery is up - get uploading! https://www.fiatforum.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=4130

Thank you to everyone who turned up, that was a super busy Brooklands, never seen it so packed! Hope everyone had a good day.

Sorry about the name badges, we do normally do them, but this year all our budget went to ForzaLIVE so there wasn't enough left over to get them made up. I agree though, I wasn't sure who was with the forum or not - so we'll be bringing them back next time (or if we are still short on cash, maybe some stickers to go on jackets!)

Big thanks to the events team - especially dombooth - who prepared the van, got it packed up, down to northampton, pick up the marquee with gadge - then continue all the way down to London

So now, we move onto the next show - our very own ForzaLIVE - if you liked yesterday, you're gonna love that!

But we need your guys help to promote it - don't be shy - get your names down!

Maybe wrist bands ? Jackets get put on and taken off all day ?

Hi
What a great turn out of Italian motors. I was with the fiat coupe club lot just across the way.
Really good turn out from the fiat forum and looked really well organised. Maybe next year i will defect over in my cinq. Some great cars up on the banks, particularly liked the 126 at the front.

I have some pictures and stuff i will upload later.
