not a lot of feed back ??
when i read the flyer they sent me with 10.00 entry i looked to see if it meant
visitors, then thought........no!
That is cruel. £10 entry in a Italian car. I'm not sure whether to even attend. Yes, it should be free for Fiats etc. Any ff stands known about?
We are thinking of arranging the next New Forest Meet. It has been a while...............
The thinking is to tie up with this first Italian Car Day at Beaulieu on Sunday 22nd May. Mark spoke to Beaulieu today and they want all the cars in place by 10.00am, so we cannot really have a drive through the forest first. So, we are thinking of this:
Meet at the Green Dragon in Brook at 9.00am for a convoy to Beaulieu. Stay until after lunch (suggest a picnic - food prices are HORRENDOUS) and then go for a convoy drive, taking in Ornamental Drive and maybe a few other Forest favourites. Cost for Beaulieu is £10 per adult, £5 per child. Discounts are available if we have enough interest BUT we need 20 people and would have to book at least one week in advance.
Over to you - thoughts please

We have not organised a stand, due to the fact that we want to 'escape' after our picnic and have a drive around the forest. We have been caught on a stand before with our Mini, it can make for a very long day!
The meet at the Green Dragon is a definite now. For those that do not know, exit the M27 at J1 (where it joins the A31), take the third exit (Fordingbridge) and the pub is about 3/4 mile into the forest on the left hand side. Postcode is SO43 7HE for SatNavvers. See you there!
I have removed us for now, not sure if my sons would really enjoy it and its a long drive for us. Hope you all have a good day
Looking forward to tomorrow. See you all at 9.00am for a 9.15am leave.
Just arrived home from this, had a very enjoyable day. Lots to see and do as I haven't been to Beaulieu since I was a kid.
There was a good turnout of about 200 cars, some of which I hadn't seen at any of the AutoItalia events.
I took along my Blue Panda clx and white 4x4. As a bonus, the clx was chosen to be one of ten vehicles to be showcased in a mid afternoon cavalcade where we did a couple of laps of the showground after being interviewed by the compare about each of our cars. The Beaulieu judges then chose one from the ten to be the car they would most like to take home, the owner of this car winning £100 cash and a trophy. Sadly I did not win, being pipped by a 1947 Ferrari that was thought to be the oldest in the country. Don't know what they were thinking of .
Still, it was nice that a classic Panda got some recognition at last.
Pebble beach here we come.
