Auto Italia
Brooklands Motorsport and Aviation Museum 2015
Show season is back upon us, beginning with Brooklands! Of course, FiatForum will be having a designated stand to show off our cars so if you'd like to be on the stand please add yourself as attending at the top so we know who to expect. Every member of FF is welcome to have their car on the stand we like to have as big a range as possible.
What is this event?
Auto Italia returns to Brooklands in 2015 on Saturday May 2nd. This popular event has become the jewel in the crown for Italian car enthusiasts and in 2011 over 5000 spectators turned out to enjoy some wonderful cars in the spring sunshine. The combination of activities will once again include the demonstration of 50 specially selected cars on the Mercedes-Benz World test track and the opportunity for classic car owners to run up the famous test hill.
As you veteran attendees will know Brooklands is famous for its Hill Run (https://www.fiatforum.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=2996) We shall post the thread for people to put their names down nearer the time when we have more information.
The FF Stand
EVERYONE IS WELCOME! Don't be shy!
This is a great opportunity for newbees to meet fellow Fiat owners, socialise and talk about your pride and joys (if you want ). Make it the first of many Official Fiat Forum shows you attend for 2014. Come along, chill out on the stand, have a nosey at other members cars and enjoy a fantastic day out!
Last years photo's can be seen here: https://www.fiatforum.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=3593
As per usual, BBQs aren't allowed at Brooklands (boo, hiss!) - but don't worry, we've still got you sorted. There will be a doughnut and coffee morning to kick things off, then a cold lunch buffet, at, well, lunch time
We also are happy to announce that our friends at MultiECUScan have provided us with their latest MultiECUScan Multiplexed system, so we'll be offering a basic diagnosis service over at our new Dr. FIAT table
So if you''ve had any strange lights popping up on your dash, or your'e getting error codes when you start up, be sure to book in and we'll give it the once over
