Auto Italia Event

I will definitely go to this one, it is not too far from me. I went last year and hopefully this year with my 126 Bis. The turnout of cars was quite good despite the slightly wet and windy weather. Anyone going to this event?

If the weather is dry I might attempt it. It's a long drive for me but took my Fiat on it's first proper run yesterday 9100 mile round trip) and it passed with flying colours, even overtaking a Porsche at one stage (okay it was parked up but still counts!) Would be great to meet up with some more 126s, there don't seem to be many round where I live!

Unfortunately, I could not make this event due to unforseen circumstances. Made all the preparations for the event beforehand. Had to collect my daughter earlier than planned from an expedition training, as she had a severe allergic reaction to something. Anyway, she is now recovering. Still not sure what caused it, as she did not eat anything unusual.

I usually attend this event as there is a bit variety. The weather was great and trust everyone had a fantastic time!!

Great to see you guys again!

We couldn`t take a Fiat this time, but I`ll try to get my act together.

Shame you couldn`t make it Angelo. I even had that rear "spoiler" for you.

Hello! It was my intention to ask you about some Bis parts at the event, as I know you have a Bis in your garden. Do you still have the plastic bumpers as well? The rear plastic bumper of my blue Bis is slightly wonky in places whilst the front are okay but there is a long gash on the side but not too noticeable. The rear bumper spoiler is damaged. I have posted some pictures of my blue one on another thread.

I bought an excellent condition red Bis bodyshell but the seller sold the engine, bumpers, all the rear interior fitments and dashboard including the fan mechanism, controls and vents. Will remove all missing parts from the blue bis to the red one.

I think it was the Auto Italia last year when we almost missed each other and was also the first time I met you in person. You were leaving the event whilst I was just arriving. You had your sisely 4x4 green Panda at the time.
