In conjuction with the Ballynahinch Vintage Club I would like on behalf of the Northern Ireland Italian Motor Club to invite all Italian vehicle enthusiasts to come along to our Italian gathering on July the 19th.

We were unable to secure Cultra for the all Ireland event again this year but we felt we had to do something and this was the best opportunity for all of us to get together.
I really hope some of you can attend the event and to help us make it as big an event as Cultra was last year.

The location is a couple of miles out Ballynahinch on the main Belfast road and it is very easy to find.

If you think you can attend could you please put your interest on this post as it will help me guage interest and arrange space.

I look forward hopefully to seeing you there.
Stuart, Chairman NIIMC.

I think I might be able to make this Stuart, but I may have to leave early

Come on lads and lassies, Coupé meet !!

I'm interested,any excuse to get close to an Integrale!! What time Stuart??

I think they are expecting vehicles to start arriving from around 10am. Must actually check.

I'm there Stuart.
Must say looking forward to my first meet.

I'm there Stewart,

It'll be my 1st meet also. Looking forward to it.

So who is defo heading up for this??

Hi Maastif,

I'm gonna head down for about 11 ish tomorrow, unless the heavens open!
I have to leave early though as I need to be in Belfast for 3.30pm at the latest.

I can't make this, I'm needed at work on Saturday...raging
This will be the first NIIMC show I've missed since I got the Coupé.

Best of luck with event, Stuart.
Plenty of pictures please

Just like to say that it was a very enjoyable day on Sat and very pleased to have made the trip to meet other Coupe Owners and fellow Italian car lovers -
BTW Stuart, loved the Integrale and looking forward to seeing the Magnum PI mobile

My tea pot is pride of place above the fire

Somewhat jealous of the LE coupe keepers -
James, very impressed with how clean you keep yours.
David, loved the rocker cover, and thanks for use of the widget!!

Really looking forward to the next Gathering. A drive up the Antrim Coast will be beautiful, hope we get a good day for it!!

Thanks again ALL!!

Yup, it was a really nice day out. The weather was nice too. A bit breezy but the sunburn on my face says it all!!

A bit thanks to the North Ireland Italian Motor Club http://www.niimc.net for inviting FCCUK to their gathering and thanks to Cyril from the Ballynahinch Vintage Club for the Vintage Show, the display area and the teapot!!

I'll get a few pics up here later on when I get home. I think I have a nice one of Stuarts Integrale or you can check out his website at http://www.maranellohouse.com

It was nice to meet all of you! Thank you for making the effort to come along - it's a pity there weren't a few more coups for you to see as there's usually at least 3 or 4!! Never mind, plenty of other interesting cars to admire! I looking forward to seeing you again...
James.

A few poorly taken shots from the NIIMC meet!

Fiat Line up (James your LE is there in the background!)

And again from behind Karmann Ghia

Can anybody say Massey Ferguson!

As James says, thank you for coming along. It was good to meet you.

We were hoping for a bigger turnout but the bad weather during the week must have put a lot of people off.
There's photos up on the NIIMC sites forum as well.

Looked like a lovely day for it.
I'm raging I missed this, I had the day off booked for ages and someone pulled a sickie the evening before

Next time, it'll be my turn

Guys ,liked the photos,specially the 127 sport in orange! Karmann was just gorgeous!! Im thinking of crossing the water next year for a meet! ;)cheers Paul.

Couldnt make it myself as I was in Italy..

Hopefully we will be organising something for next year.

Ill keep you informed....
