Such a shame I am not attending this year, (sorry, going away with family and friends for the weekend, totally forgot about Brooklands when we booked it), especially as there are some names on the list I have not put faces too yet!.

Hope you all have a good day and the weather is kind to you all.

Regards
Sarah

This is purely an observation but this year's AutoItalia looks like it will have far less Coupes attending than previous years.

Last year the thread had 10x more hits and loads more replies.

Is there something wrong? Or will people just turn up- it is one of the highlights to my FCCUK year!

I hope to see old and new friends on Saturday- weather forecast even looks reasonable.

What will be will be. Hopefully you'll be bringing the picnic and I can bore you with how to do your bonnet alignment since I've fitted the newer bonnet over the weekend

I shall be there, but maybe not in the coupe, hence why my name is not down.

Begbie- Jean won't let us down!! As long as Tim42 isn't around!!! I'll bring my spanners so you can give a master class!

Look forward to your alternative wheels Pete!

where will we be parked this yr ?

Don't know yet but I will ask Phil Ward.

He has put us along the approach road to the bus museum between Lamborghinis and Alfa GTAs. It's close to Concorde.

His daughter will be joining us in his wife's 20VT.

As long as the little one doesn't decide to make an early appearance i will be attending this year but as i don't have time to order a ticket i will be paying on the door and not be allowed in with the early birds. Anyone fancy convoying a little later and turning up at 8.30?

Sounds good james what time and where.

I'm planning on coming, this is my favourite Auto Italia event!

Mine too but missing it for the second year in a row

I'm planning on coming too!

Hey what the hell,
Put me down as coming!

I will come in the GTA so I'm not hated or attacked for having a German car lol

See you all soon

Begbie I hope you have a moustache!
Missed that Mr Mostasho look lol

I'll also be paying at the door James.... And fancy a convoy :-)

You should have seen me last week, 2 weeks of growth. I'll tell Becky your coming and she will probably come along and break you

I'm planning on coming down and paying on the door,

Getting on the M1, at jun 20 Lutterworth for the trip down south.

who's up for meeting at the ace for breakfast before heading to brooklands ????

I'll be coming down subject to half decent weather. Didn't put my name down as not doing the track or hill.

Dan

Ace is good for me

Sounds like breakfast at the Ace is on the cards what time do people want to meet?

ok Naf and Jame5 i'll work out a time and post it here .

whats the address for the ace? if not to far out I may join you.

Ace Cafe London
Ace Corner
North Circular Road
Stonebridge
London
NW10 7UD

It's probably a bit out of the way but it's easy to find and there should be no traffic at that time on a saturday.

All grown up with a kid...
Scary I know...
Will be bringing baby with me so tell Becky to come along!
