I went to last years which was at Deene Park - stately home and grounds. It was a terrific event and turnout with a huge variety of Italians

Were there any Brummies?

No Coupes' as I was in my Delta and MC was in his 'Sud

I'll be there if it doesn't rain lol

Still not seen you around Solihull Loui!

I've got her garaged most of the time. I shake off the cobwebs in the summer months when then suns out. Sometimes I take her to work in digbeth. Otherwise its Stratford on a Sunday for a cruise lol most of the time I drive the countryman. I'm sure we will cross paths. I haven't seen another LE in the westmids yet.

It's 10 minutes from my house so rude not too. Plus another I can then sorn it again at the end of the month.

Mine is limited

Yeah looks like it. Mine is black, what colour is yours mikndo?

Various shades of burgundy

Depends if the suns out

Just a final shout for this. Save a few quid on advance tickets from the website. I'll definately be there. Gates open at 10. Anyone interested in a pre-meet and convoy? I'm coming from Coventry so not far.

I live in Banbury so wrong side for me.

Just got my tickets, bringing my grandson James along too.

Also coming up from the south, so wrong way to meet up.

And just to make it the full packet, I'll be approaching from the west

OK - see you all there...........

Got my tickets now as well! ☺️. Need to get the car out and start cleaning it.

Anyone got a spare bonnet lifter who is going that they want to sell?

Sorry, can't help.

Bonnet lifter as in the catch, the lever, the strut?

That was my plan this afternoon until the heavens opened!! Early rise it is then....

Washed mine this afternoon.

No rain here unfortunately: The local pub has been putting on a crap music day at full volume in their 30 foot rear garden.

Flip me it absolutely chucked it down around here for about three hours this afternoon - I'm not far from Gaydon so probably a good job its tomorrow and not today! Roads were flooding. Forecast is clear for tomorrow morning but showers from around 12'ish. I'm aiming to be there about 11. See you there.

Does anyone know if it's located on grass or on Tarmac?

Not a bad little event. Didn't get to meet anyone unfortunately. Did anyone else see the Alfa 155 with a coupe turbo engine in it.. Very nice!
The museum was not bad, I think the car storage area was actually better. In amongst the few Gems from the British motor industry (xj220, xfr, mini etc) There was some utter rubbish (metro, maestro) and brown velour interiors.....
From the coupes I looked in I think mine had the highest mileage at over 150k all be it not on the same engine..

Good day out at Gaydon, my first club event, only had the car 3 weeks. I met Peter & Mike + a guy and his son in a dark red coupe, apologies I didn't catch your name. The club seems to be very friendly and helpful.

Hi BillyH we were in the red one. Loui and Nic ( his my brother) lol I won't tell him. We dint stick around much with the coupes. The were some awesome machines that caught our attention and we were running around like headless chickens! But ye was a great day out.

Hi billy very nice Coupe by the way.

A good little show, too many Alfas :

And yes I agree that the overflow museum was better than the main one.

See you all again soon. I hope

Another excellant MITCAR event. It is organised by the Alfa club so the Milanese do tend to dominate (fine by me!) but lots of other cracking cars to see as well. Especially welcomed in these parts as Auto Italia have now dropped Stanford.
Great to chat with Mik and Pete Apols to others - did not see anyone else - I had my 9 year old with me so spent alot of time in the museum! Anyway a few pics.....







Have to say the 124 was alot better in the flesh than I had imagined!!

I managed to sit in it but really struggled to get out again. Definitely not for the stout amongst us

Damn I completely missed this! And I just live down the road. Doh!

Looks like you all had a good time. I saw the 124 Abarth at the Brands Hatch event the other week. I also think it looks better in the flesh. Unfortunately the ditzy car sales girl couldn't let me in the car because the guys who delivered it in the morning had locked it and gone off with the keys
