Sunday 10th September Brooklands Italian day. A great event for Italian cars and a chance to wonder around the Museum and whats left of the original banked brooklands circuit.

yes im up for that, we could aim to get a bunch of us there for that one, didnt brooklands have an autoitalia in may there? I was due to be there but only just got 126 running again and couldnt get fan to cut in.

Dave have a look,  http://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/events.cfm?SelectedMonth=9&SelectedYear=2006#cal

i will certainly be there, looks like a fab event.

I'm hoping to do a london to margate run to get the kent members out and about before the end of summer, which make up a massive proportion of club members.

regards

Dave

You are welcome to stay at my place, near Uxbridge, Middlesex. Its only a big fold out sponge bed thing but we have plenty of space. Chris lives locally so we could go to Brooklands in a convoy of little Fiats.

I'm in. I will have moved to the UK. Won't have my 126s in the UK by then but it would be great to get together.

It seems unlikely my 126 will have four wheels by then, but I'll try and get down anyway. I'll try and find somewhere nice to camp nearby.

There is also this event (apologies for long post, but this info isn't online). I've removed contact details out of courtesy, but they can be found on a download from http://www.micromaniacsclub.co.uk/ or email jennydilks at ntlworld dot com.

It is your duty! I'm not sure if I can get to both, so I will have to make a choice. Leaning towards micro cars as a potential better laugh, though even in my 500 I feel like Gulliver in Lilliput.
