Went to three of the Auto Italia events last year. Stamford Hall has a good turn out of Italian Cars and we got a great welcome from the Fiat Forum guys who gave us front of stage & a sausage in a bun

Ok but apart from the cars & the comradeship you were basicaly stuck in a field.
Windsor was OK but only as it was on my patch but the Daddy of them all is the Brooklands event. Loads to see & do on a truely historic motoring site. Reflected in the ticket price which I think was Â£14 last year.
However if you have never been there before it is quite an experience.

Well this looks hopeful for me and a good run before Slovakia! Got the details of where it is on their website: http://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/index.php?/your-visit/how-to-get-here/

Looks cool!

Duke! Convoy? Brilliant!

What speed do you prefer - 55 or 60? We could take up both lanes of the A12 and REALLY annoy some folk...

C'mon Hazey-n-Marc, it's gonna be 2 hours for me, so what's an extra hour?

Would love to, don't know if we could babysitters for long enough, and Hazey doesn't finish work till 1.30 on a saturday morning. Will see what we can do though.

Speed 55-60 no prob ! Might be staying in dartford on fri night , could still meet at bridge crossing, must be some more guys out there that want to convoy from river crossing onwards ?

If you prebook through brooklands website you get Â£2 off ticket price and if you turn up in a fiat you get to go in fastrack through fiat only gate ! Luxury

Lina i have PM'ed you

Marc they shut at 5 pm so it would not be worth it mate unless you could get the misses to throw a sickie or swap her day off ? Its a once a year event mate , and just think my white one, lina's blue and your red one all in convoy !

All being well I am going to get to this event. It is the flagship Auto Italia event with the bonus of being on the historic Brooklands site. If you have never been there then it is worth a trip as there is much to see apart from the cars that will turn up. Last year the intended convoy , I believe organised by Markymarc, did not work out for a variety of reasons although about half a dozen cars turned up eventualy but they were scattered around the site. Without a specific club location for 126s the marshalls get a bit confused so you may be directed to the Fiat 500 area which will probably be by the planes again or onto the banking where the Fiat Forum gather. So if we get a plan together we should be able to get a bit of a display on

I did find last year that once you had been directed to a pitch you could relocate or drive around the back of the site so you are not locked in to a set position for the day.

Will that be another trip out in the Alfa then ?

It looks as though we have a few going

Can someone suggest a meeting area preferably just off the M25 so we can all drive in together
