Auto Italia Day at Brooklands on 5th May 2012

[Amateb8]

I will be coming into the M25 from Junction 12 from the M3. It would be great to have a convoy.

We just bought our tickets online.

[Amateb8]

I just realised it is my wife's birthday on that day!


Sorted!

[Pete126]

We need someone who knows the area so we can meet at a supermarket car park or trading estate

[drwheetos]

Im gonna be coming along as well, it looks like a great day! Is anyone gonna be coming down from Cambridge way?

Cheers, Mark

[the duke of 126]

Me and lina should be joining m25 from a12 about 7.30 am

[Kent126]

There is a large tesco extra on Brooklands Industrial Estate just down the road from Brooklands Museum.

The address;
BARNES WALLIS DRIVE,
WEYBRIDGE,
SURREY,
KT13 0XF.

Do members want ot all meet in this location, then we can all go to Auto Italia in convoy?

Let me know what you think?
Tom

[the duke of 126]

I am up for that , what time ?

[Kent126]

errrrrr depends on where the furthest member is coming from I guess. Any ideas what time we need to be there for either?

Tom

[the duke of 126]

Gates open at 8.30 . So a 8 am meet would be cool

[Lina]

Oooh, it's getting exciting!!

Just thought I'd mention it's a good idea to buy your tickets in advance so as to avoid the queues getting in - apparently, with advance tickets, one gets to pootle past the ferraris and use the special gate lol

Lina

[the duke of 126]

 Advance tickets sold out

[Lina]

Oh, sorry, ignore me then!  I've got my tickets, duke, I guess you have yours, does anyone else have tickets or need to queue?

That may affect what time we need to get there...

[drwheetos]

Yep, im definately gonna be in that queue! Bugger!

Not a problem though, still should be fun.

[Rusty's Uncle]

My friend , do not be too alarmed . I was in that queue last year and I was surrounded by fabulous Italian cars of all sorts and some had 10 more cylinders under the hood than me but it was all smiles and a lot of fun. I would suggest going earlier rather than later so depending on how things go I may swing by the Tesco site to check for strays 
Most important is to try and get together on site so head for the Fiat 500 area or the Fiat forum area which I guess will be on the banking to accomodate the massed bands 

[K666STW]

FF is indeed on the banking.
I really wish I could make this one but it's just too far south and I'm already booked for Stanford again, can't have more than one foreign holiday a year now can I?

Hope everyone who goes gets the weather for it, by all accounts everything else about this event I have heard is superb so the weather is the only thing that can let it down.

Edit. Well the weather and the fact no BBQs are allowed.
