Good to see folks there today! There really are other 126s (and 500s) out there! Must try to dig photos off my phone...

Good to meet you to Dr Moose, hey in your trade you have got to be a believer  :$
Yes we are out there  ;D
The prize has to go to K666STW who drove his Bis down from Fife in Scotland and the booby prize to Amateb8 who did not come in his Bis . I think that Green-fly was about to set his dogs on him but showed restraint  :)
markymarc was well into the impulse buying & last time I saw him he was wearing a nice little black with pink polka dot shift dress , not sure if he had the ankles for it though  :$
Pete , as ever was a star , helped me round the site , knowing that I was awaiting my next hip flask replacement  ;D

Hey guys, good to chat, good to see you all there and I hope you are all home safe.
Currently relaxing in my little pink polka dot number rusty with ears ringing from some silly idea to put a BIG exhaust on a 126!!

Great to meet and greet Pete (lovely little red BIS) The vicar of dibly (sweet old school looking 126)
Rab C nesbit (who was brave enough to come from bonny Scotland) Mr & Mrs Clooney of course (stuck with the common people rather than be in the concours) And last but not least Mr Bellamy (or is that stan boarman and his terrible jokes?)

If i have missed anyone im sorry as my mind is bad..............and my hearing now!!

Till next time

Hey guys,glad you all got back ok! Good to catch up with some new faces and not so new! Rustys on form I see again! Amateb8,don't worry I've called the dogs off and we've all forgiven you! Seen the nice pogmobil and the moosemeister!
Thanks for the pics Pete, great view downwards on the most expensive cars at the show   ;D  marks scorpion left the show quickly burning off a ferrari I noticed,probably why your ears were hurting as he was trying to catch you up!
We hit several rain showers on the way home so next time I'm bringing clingfilm or maybe my carcoon adapted to be driven along in :D
Happy motoring guys

Made it home.
The little bugger never missed a beat and fears about the HG thankfully turned out to be misplaced.  I've never seen so many 126s in one place before, it surely was a treat for the eyes.

Good to put a few faces to user names, even if every single 126 there made mine look bad.  :(
 :D


Still waiting on all of the photos being uploaded but once they are I'll get them posted. Thanks to every one of you guys you made it what it was.  :)

My friend , you are a true inspiration making that trip , the cars are meant for driving & if they breakdown it is because there is something wrong that needs to be fixed. If you have a unique specimen like green-fly then you may not want to put too many miles on the clock but the rest of you guys & gals have no excuse, Get your motor running & head out on the highway  ;D

It was a great day out. I have been going to this event four years in succession and most of the time, I was the only 126 but met Ciaoflyer last year. The one year I opted to take another Italian car, six 126s turned up! Anyway, passed by to say hello and have a chat to the guys. Green-fly's 126 is as I remembered it, lovely! We stayed a bit longer until they gave out the awards.
