Hi guys thanks for the support therefore I am trying to sort the floor and sill to get it to RR.  Just fabricated a repair section for the floor, midgies won tonight before I could cut out all the rot.  Hope to have most of the welding done over the weekend if the weather keeps up.

Keep up the good work Ralph, Can't believe its still dry in Scotland Only a few weeks ago I was stuck on the Edinburgh City Bypass for hours due to flooding, It was worse than London

If it's not rain it's midgies that keep you from repairs.  See you at RR

I'm way behind on plans. In fact I havnt touched the little fiat for about a year now so if it goes to RR it'll have to be on a towing frame

I'm not going to make excuses about rain, I'm simply flat broke

My tickets have arrived!  Not long to go now, off for anoher practice drive tomorrow...we were out in a (small) convoy last night!  Still need the tent though...and probably some sleeping bags!

One thing that has not been mentioned here is that although this is flagged up as a 3 day event nothing actualy happens on the Friday and Saturday apart from pitching tents , socialising and having a beer or two. The main day is the Sunday when there is all the action on the hill climb and a static display of cars. So if you have not got a weekend ticket you can , like most people who attend, just go on the Sunday

Hi guys, it was some kind of suprise, but now I must to take it out   Me (Martin) and my sister Veronica will join you at Retro rides!! And for this go very big thanks to Pete, Ladislav and others for their help and support.

Hi Martin and Veronica, we look forward to seeing you as well!! Will you be bringing some 126 bits and pieces? I am interested in a pair of tail light covers red-white EL priced at Euro9 each. I will use these on my 126 Bis. A pair of windbreaks.

I noticed on the photo of the "trailer for transport Fiat 126 non braked" with a 126 Bis on the trailer. It has an huge exhaust. Is it a sports exhaust specifically for a Bis?

Hi All,
I won't be joining you this year.
I had hoped to make it in my 500, but have decided not to come.
My wife and I had a little boy in March which has taken all of my fiat time and after pondering on it for a while I realised that I don't really want to leave him (or her!) for that long.

Steve - Rusty will sort things out with you on my behalf


I hope you all have a great time there and I will try to make it along to something later in the year.

Michael its pity that you cant arrive  .
Amateb, we not ordered extra luggage cause we are going to UK only for 4 days so dont have place for the windbreaks, but small bits arent problem.
The redwhite taillights arent available now, only white are now on store... /

Hey all!

Sorry so rubbish at keeping in touch recently - mostly because the car's been running beautifully for months (until recently, when I fried my battery and possibly the alternator!!  Panic fix going on as we speak!!).

I can't believe you're coming Martin!!!  Wow, I'll have to get your autograph! 

I currently have a spare ticket and am waiting to hear back from 126Blackbird to see if he wants it.  If not, I'll offer to Abiella, and if she's sorted already.... I have a spare ticket.

Bar Vitelli - I have a two man tent spare, although not sure about sleeping bags...  Do you still need the tent?  PM me if you need me to bring it

Oh, it's so exciting!!  (and terrifying, and I REALLY hope the car works long enough to get me there!! LOL!)
