Right guys. I think the first thing we have to do here is identify where all the HP's are likely to be coming from in order to work out the best 'neutral' location for a meet/drive.

Perhaps we should set a deadline of say end of March for a list of owners locations to be drawn up - not to say that the list will be closed - but the choice of suitable venue might be by the end of March - giving us time to then get an idea of possible numbers and accommodation choices - you young guys will probably be happy to drive the length of the UK, do a drive then head home all in one day - but us old gits and their better halves usually prefer an overnight stay with beers and banter with the drive the following day.

Once we know the numbers and a possible venue we can move this thread to the Meets section - unless some kind moderator would be kind enought to do that after March?

So let me get this owners location list started:

hpScot (David) - Paisley/Glasgow, Renfrewshire
 
would be nice if as many of you as possible tried to make it to one of the big FF meets :)
we have Stanford hall that is pretty central and/or easy to get to being at the end of the M6, a lot of us stay over and have a meal together the night before, and a big Free BBQ on the day ;)
 
Yes, let's get some 100HPs at Stanford. It'd be a change for it to be not just mine and Jai's Pandas at a meet! :)

Providing it's not TOO far, and I still have a 100hp or get a new one then I'm in :)

You'll just have to make sure you run the dealership's demonstrator and get yourself across the A69 or A66 and join me on the run down the M6.;)

I can assure you mate when I said 'Summer 2007' I meant it.;) So it will definately be after the 31st of January. We don't usually thraw out up here til mid May anyway.

Good to hear you're interested in a meet though - so thanks for the response. Hope your delivery comes on time. (y)
 
Has yours arrived yet David?

It has indeed mate - got it last Friday afternoon. Really pleased with it and getting used to the broad smile that comes over my face when I use the 'Sport' button.

Particularly impressed with all the 'toys' - bluetooth phone connectivity in particular. Good to see that luxury car features have been introduced in city cars - guess with emission restrictions and global warming it's only to be expected.

Put it this way - when my weekday runaround was a '04 Nissan Micra 1.2SX I always found myself telling peaple when they asked what I drove that this was just a second car and that the GTV was my 'real' car - almost apologising for a car which I found to be really well equipped and pretty nippy. Now I just say that I drive a FIAT Panda with a smug look on my face and nothing more - but of course a few of my ALFA Forum buddies usually say almost straight away - "One of those 100HP's I bet?" Enough said.;)
 
Sounds very good to me.
I'm trading in my Micra 1.0 Celebration for the Panda so hoping for just a bit of a performance difference. Will miss the Micra in an odd way though!

The words Micra and Celebration somehow don't seem to go together :D
