Oh my goodness... Just registered on the Fiat Forum for the first time ever today... Gosh, it's BIG and there are LOADS coming to Auto Italia!!  :o  It appears they're also aiming to meet at Tesco, also at 8am, and going in convoy at 8.20am to the event...

Exciting!!  ;D

I see myself more as an infiltrator really... trench coat, dark glasses, messages on tapes that will auto-destruct in five seconds...

... d'oh, sounds more like Inspector Gadget actually, lol!

 Hopefully the weather will be reasonable. Fingers crossed!

 Anyone need any bits let me know, if I`ve got them I`ll bring them with us to Brooklands.

Ladislav,
Do you still have the sound insulation trim (black felt looking material) situated on either side of the Bis engine cover? Do you also have the part underneath the radiator for the Bis?

Does anyone also have the rubber hose that connects the carb to the air filter box?

Just got back from Brooklands. We left about 4ish after the Test Hill event. Enquired about participating the hill climb and was told one needs to apply to Phil Ward by email. His details are in Auto Italia. We will defintely go for it next year.

The turnout was just over 50% due to the weather. That said, the turnout of exotic cars did not dissappoint. For me, it was still a good day out. I always enjoy Brooklands whatever the weather. Talking about the weather, it markedly improved about 2ish.

It was great to see fellow 126 members old (Ladislav and partner, Lina + son, Rusty, Smallcox +son) and new (The Duke of 126). There was also another new forum member that we met briefly (Kent 126??).

Ladislav - many thanks for the Bis noise insulation trim. I am a bit embarrassed as I owe you a couple. I will try to resolve this, next time we meet. Many thanks again.

Trust everyone got home okay, especially Lina.

"Oh the Grand old Duke of 126
he had 704ccs.
He marched it up to the top of the Brooklands banking
then he reversed it down again!

Then he did it a couple more times as I tried to sort out my camera  :$
Then he got his wrist slapped by a marshall  :o

Apparently the big sign that says "STRICTLY NO DRIVING ON THE BANKING" was overlooked by the Duke  :D
Good on you mate , will see if I can post a pic.
 :)

Great day out, shame about the weather though.

Great to finally meet some forum members and put names to faces. I am hoping to get to a few more meets, and will hopefully have a car that work by then! lol.
