Hi there all,
Due to the resounding success of last years participation at this festival, we have been invited back to join in the large Italian event in Horsham this year The event is open to 10 show worthy cars (clean & tidy) to represent the Club and mark.
Here's a link to the after event page so you can see for yourselves - Click Here
The Festival runs for 3 days the programme of evnts are as follows:

Good Friday 22nd (Ferrari and Ducati led Italian Motorbikes of all marques)

There will be FREE parking in Horsham for Italian cars all weekend, I'll check on that for any one who wants to come and see any of the other events, but our participation will be from 12-4pm on the Monday. We were asked last year, as with all drivers to donate £5-10 to the Chestnut Tree House Childrens Charity It's a small price to pay for all the adoration the cars will recieve. As you can see from the photos it's a great event and we all look forward to great day

Was a really good day last year. Seeing how my 20vt looks presentable after just a shampoo I'll be here again. Or maybe in a yet to be purchased VIS...

oh, i though he meant this year

Less than 2 weeks for mapping you purple jumper warrior, so you may never know what might happen

Count me in, it will give me a date to aim for.

Sounds like a great day out - I just doubt that my Scottie would be show-worthy . The Moon is definitely NOT show-worthy unless I win the lottery tonight and can stump up for a respray .

dont be a whimp come on, nothing a bit of tcut cant sort out tim!! Failing that I heard that pixie dust works

Pixie dust or bribes to children... count me in !!! It will be nice to see some CLEAN Coupes anyway....

good man

You can always use the stickers I sent you to cover up any bad areas...

... on no wait

Wow, thats a quick response I'll have to run a stand-by list too just in case. Please could we have cars that have no panel or paintwork damage (carpark dinks, no probs) I'm not being fussy just trying to get the best cars for the show as there is only space for about 10 cars in the designated area at present. It would also be nice to get a good spread of colors too, but I think that's just hoping If loads of you guys want to come I'll approach the organisers about getting a bigger area for us

I was going to go to Brooklands the following week but Easter Monday is a better day for me, I've never been to Horsham before (always try new things) and most of all you're missing the best colour

I think I'll have the best colour there - just can't decide which one !

.....by the way, do Brooklands as well

That's great guys thanks for all those who have commited to coming. It's great being in a huge Italian convoy with a police escort and being allowed to honk for all your worth and rev up freely and do a few wheel spins if you dare all in the middle of a sleepy old market town. Kids want to sit in the cars and pretend, have pics taken and the public are genuinly interested in the cars too. They cant belive you can now own a pretty piece of Italian exotica for so little!
To all the others thinking of attending, please don't think there wont be room, I'll approach the organisers and say we've got extra interest and can we have more space. I'm sure it wont be a problem So add your name to the list if you can make it and I'll get back to them closer to the time re. numbers. Speak with you all soon with further details, so watch this space........

how come im provisional?

Cause the cars not ready? and things have a habbit of not going right? well thats my experiance anyway
You commented that it was "a date to aim for" I assumed there was work still to be done to get it ready? Correct me if I'm wrong

Mine will also need some work Ross.

I mean, I'll actually have to give it a proper bath

The Scottie WILL be ready for this and she makes a nice noise too . I'm at Flea tomorrow with the Moon - I can't imagine anything going wrong, but please keep fingers crossed for me !

I imagine the post is still stuck in the snow
