Hope this works.

Mulhouse Museum Visit

Some weird and wonderful cars there, Bob!

Only one coupe picture today - sitting in the car park waiting for another thunderstorm to land on it...



Had a very pleasant day in Bergamo - thanks Gimmo for the suggestion.

Neil have you taken any pics of the surrounding countryside as I know what your 16v looks like

Yes! Coupe in a car park is not one of your better pics Neil.
Though I do like to see your Coop in the pic with stunning views in the background. And get those extra stickers on the doors so everyone knows what it's all about.

You seem to be the only one posting their journey in this thread. Maybe it needs re-named!

Looking forward to tomorrow's stunning Pic

Aw come on Joe he's like a kid with a new toy, give 'im a break

@Neil as far as accommodation goes have you tried the Suite Bergamasque?

Haven't had a huge number of chances to do photogenic stuff... I'd have loved for example to do something in Bergamo, but no entry up there for the likes of me, so the car was hiding in the underground car park.

Stelvio was planned for photos all the way up - the views are stunning - but unfortunately it was closed. Those Italians insisted on keeping trees close to the road on the other passes we used; they didn't go above the treeline and there was really nowhere to get a view.

Shame.

Pictures so far from the meet start about halfway down this page: http://s156.photobucket.com/user/nailed_barnacle/library/Italy-France%202014?sort=2&page=6

First the pre-pre-meet at Vicolunga, then the main do. Very unsorted/unedited...

So many shiny Coops . I'm so envious of your "Italian Job" on the Turin factory Roof and Chris Bangle too.
Thanks for sharing Neil

Beautiful pics, its a shame I wasnt able to make it. Would have loved to meet you guys. Lingotto looks great, does anyone know if its possible to arrange an individual visit? I plan on going with my two bellas late this summer,

Forty new pics from Veneria, the Mirafiori meet and of the drive up to Aix-les-Bains starting here: http://s156.photobucket.com/user/nailed_barnacle/library/Italy-France%202014?sort=2&page=10

Enjoyed viewing both these sets Neil, I'm jealous you have both your first ladies with you looking in fine form

There's nothing quite like Italian architecture for style, function and solidity, it's awe-inspiring.

To see every single car in a massed shot as a Fiat Coupe is as if your mind is playing tricks on you. Gleaming brilliantly, they are so much more than confetti when listening to them let alone at the wheel. What a sound they must have made on the roof of the Turin factory, only matched by the thrill of the famous wall.

There must be many faces I don't recognise that belong to forum names I know, but apart from yourselves I spotted Chris Bangle (oh well done), Alesi doing his "contracted" stuff and his reborn electric blue Plus, and a rather familiar black roof ..but still with broomy mirrors.

Great pics!

A few more; Lake Bouget and the roads around, Col du Chat, and Annecy: http://s156.photobucket.com/user/nailed_barnacle/library/Italy-France%202014?sort=2&page=12

I asked Bartosz, one of the Polish guys (Sprint Blue car with Orange), if he could upload some of his pictures on to photo bucket so they could be viewed here. He did take some really nice pictures of the weekend.

Here is a link to his Slideshow

Few FCCUK faces captured..

One of the German guys, Michael, has uploaded his video of the weekend.

On Youtube

Thought I'd share a few snaps taken on our trip home via St Bernard pass with a couple of other friendly fccuk-ers. Even bumped into Schumi who was mighty impressed with the LE he used to own...

The opportunity to be once again with his LE was enough to bring him out of a coma.

He had a slight Welsh twang to his accent but I recall he was more than happy to offer a personalised message on your dash strip a la Bangle...

He truly is a great guy as well.
