Hi Gents,

Sorry no can do, Was looking forward to it but the council decided to add salt to the roads and then work commitments too so have to see you guys later in the year.

Best regards Smallcox

Your right, but I was looking forward to running the Fiat or Triumph then when the salters had been out I decided to abort, As for work commitments, what can I say :$

Regards and hope to see you all soon (when warmer) Smallcox

No snow so far, I even took the Vespa for a spin earlier today (it goes next week, sold like the Beetle), so fingers crossed we'll be at the Fiat 126 Xmas Party......in Pete's Mercedes (!!)   ;D

Apologies. We will not be able to go. I just got up after having spent a couple of hours in the early hours of the morning in the A&E. It was nothing serious. Weirdly, my wife broke her small toe.

I guess that your good lady will have to kick your butt with the other foot for a while then  ;D
Anyway it's a shame you missed out . I arrived at about 12.45 and it was great to see two other 126s in the car park  :)
Pretty good gathering inside by that time as I found out and a couple more to come. Good to catch up with familiar faces and meet others from the forum that I had not met before. Much Fiat talk and a little bit of horse trading. It was wet, wet, wet on the way there and I was one of the first to leave at 3.30 with the chat still going strong but on the way home it was sleet, sleet, sleet  ::)
So I hope all the guys that made the trip make it home Ok  :)
I am sure that there will be some stories to tell. Which reminds me , we lined up the 3 cars , Lina's , Graham's & mine for a picture outside in the pouring rain. A family group came outside and lingered for a while by the cars with much chat. Then the Daddy of the group turned to me and said how great & unexpected it was to see the cars as when he grew up in Italy his first car was a Fiat 126.

Wow!  Just got back to Yorkshire, journey took a bit longer on the way back with the ''eat as much as you can'' meals taking us over our weight limit!  Fell asleep for part of the jorney (I think it was when Pete put the ''best of Andy Williams'' on for the third time (!!) but great to meet everyone and look forward to catching up again when the weather is a bit better!

Great to see everyone again! Hopefully this year will bring many more events as the club grows from strength to strength.

Very wet but great to see a couple of 126's made it in the weather. Fingers crossed they got home ok too.

Apologies if I looked like a zombie!

See you all at the next one!  ;D
