Number 1 (Castle Combe) event now listed here

We are going to be even more limited this year - max 10 cars (12 last year), so please sign up asap.

VmanC homeward scout and @ anyoneelseI've forgotten........... (y)

And yes, it's the day before Stanford Hall - I'll be doing both, which is a lot of mileage in Panda's, but a lot of fun. I might even be tempted to take Panto! onto the track if it's quiet........ :)

Don't worry about it being quiet, he'll be fine whatever :D

Hi Everyone,

This is going to be a bit ambitious for this section, as I'm about to offer you all a multiple choice of potential events! I'm expecting chaos, but maybe we'll get answers which make sense............... :rolleyes:

Ho'kay, here goes...........

I'll be organising various stands for Summer shows, and there are some events which I think are (or will be) good for the Panda's to attend. Some of these have been mentioned before, and I had positive noises from Pandarers. (y)

I am happy to organise any of the following suggestions, and will do so under a joint Fiat Forum & Fiat Panda/Fiat Motor Club banner if need be (as Castle Combe was last year) - the main benefit of this is to ensure that there is sufficient insurance cover in place, as I am not aware of any specific cover for FF events (I know I've got £3m of cover if I do it my way).

So..........

1. Castle Combe Classic & Retro Action Day 28th June.

This is a long standing FMC event, which has included FF members in recent years (and we had a joint stand last year). Very limited spaces for this one, so if you're interested please let me know asap - I'll book this one anyway. Link at https://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/events/action_display_event.asp?BookingEventID=629

Previous year thread at https://www.fiatforum.com/events/323137-castle-combe-classic-retro-action-day.html


2. Retro Rides Gathering 31st August.


I asked about this last year - link here https://www.fiatforum.com/panda-classic/328954-pandas-prescott-hillclimb.html and had positive noises.

It's actually at Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb this year - a location I know little about, but look at last week's Top Gear for an idea! Event info at http://retroridesgathering.com/

I'd like to do this & am happy to organise. Who's up for it, and I'll apply if there's a few of us? (y)


3. Retro Show at Santa Pod 22nd June.

I love this show, but sadly it clashed with one of the Auto Italia events last year. I can find another group to go with if need be (tagged onto the No Skool Just Cool guys a couple of times :) ) but would much prefer a gang of Panda's there!! (y)

Event info at http://www.retroshow.co.uk/index.html It mentions something about pre '80's cars but that makes no sense based on earlier years (and what they don't know..... :D ), but it's meant to be minimum 10 cars - I'd need to know there were at least 6 definite and could rustle up more from the FMC etc probably.

What do you think? :) You can actually go down the drag strip for a very reasonable price, if you're brave (though it would be quite amusing to have 2 Panda's against each other maybe a 4x4 lumbering down against a 750? :devil: ).


4. Chiltern Hills 18th May.

A new location this year, but not far away from me, and a BIG favourite. Last year's thread here https://www.fiatforum.com/panda-classic/318634-pandas-chiltern-hills-rally-19th-may.html and event info at http://www.chilternhillsrally.org.uk/

I'll be organising this anyway, so just need to know who wants to go & we can sort out applications, etc (y)


5. Luton Festival of Transport 8th June.

Event info at http://www.cvpg.net/luton-festival-of-transport-2014-8th-june-2014/

Again it's one I'll be applying for anyway as the FMC has been there for years. The good thing is it's a nice show, easy to get to, and no limit on either numbers or the age of the cars. We could get a really good Panda gathering there if you're interested?



Think that's enough at the moment!! ;)

Expressions of interest for any or all of those? Let's get some proper Panda presence at some events this year! :worship: I'll put up proper event threads for anything we're actually doing, so that I don't upset any of the mods.... ;)

Cheers, Gavin.

Even number 2 the hillclimb Retro Rides event is now here

Please sign up so that we can have a decent turnout. We had quite a lot of interest in this last year, so don't make me look stupid (help is not required in doing this!).

We haven't had much signing up for the other ones yet either - come on Panda's get your owners moving!! ;)

Number 4 the Chiltern Hills Rally is now ready!

I'm just about to put something in the events section, but the application form is attached. It's £5 but you get a very nice model car if you prebook! (y)

Please make sure you use the application form with the Club name included, or write it in if you have a blank application form already sent to you by the organisers. There is NO problem with Panda's getting in & the category is "S" if yours is newer than 1986. As part of the Club stand newer cars are ok - please let me know what you're planning to bring though.

We had loads of Panda's last year, so let's try for a good turnout again. :worship:

As it's quite close to me, there are spare cars available if anyone has insurance cover & wants to drive one there. I can do you a Panda or a 127, or a Strada, or........... :)

Edit: Event HERE

Which shows can new pandas attend:confused:
Click to expand...

All of them!! :p

All the events are classic/retro themed, but in all cases newer cars can be either taken in with their blessing, or I just do it!! If something's interesting it's ok on the stand - definition of interesting is in my head (it's not a democracy ;) ), and all Panda's qualify!! (y)

And number 5 is now up HERE

15 tickets already received for this - it's FREE, so please come along and we'll show the Vauxhall's what proper cars look like........ (y)

Edit: We are not getting a massive sign up rate for the events listed earlier. Please don't make me look more stupid than usual - Panda's wanted to go when I mentioned the Santa Pod & Hill Climb events last year, and I don't want to sit there on my own....... :worship:

Looks like I can only make 2&3 :(

Who's going to be going to these?
Click to expand...

There are a few (3/4 on each) signed up to each at the moment Jon, but I'm hoping everyone's just being typically slow at adding themselves! I want at least half a dozen Panda's at each (ideally more), which should be easy, he said hopefully.... :)

Don't forget to add yourself to the list (y)
 
I'm just wondering how many panderers are going to Brooklands? I know the Vman is, as I texted him earlier. Anyone else? I know its a bit south for many but would be good to meet and see a few of you (y)

I can see 7 potential Panda's on the Brooklands list! (y)

Fingers crossed Panto! & I will be there - he's got an mot now, so that's looking hopeful..... :)
