dw89 Unregistered D	So does this mean that the event is cancelled, or just that the club is not organising an event? If the later, is anyone still planning on going?

The club would have had to lay out around £5500 up front and there were not enough people prepared to commit in order to keep each individual's costs to a reasonable level. If anyone wants to go individually all the details you need to do so are here. Click on the image galleries for both Saturday and Sunday 2014 and you will see some coupes. 16VT and X1/9 1500 + e208 Peugeot We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using. I even unplugged my own.

samsite999 Unregistered S	Well, what to say. What a sorry state of affairs. I walked out in under a hour of being at the track. I have not even managed to do that in the worst car meet in the UK. The place was empty. Nothing in the way of club stands or even clubs from what I could see, supporting stands were pretty much none existent. There was no buz and nothing really on the track to watch. Still doing that stupid token think and the restraint was quiet. Didn't bother to go on the Sunday. It's fair to say the new owners have priced them self out the game and it shows by complete lack of people. It's really sad given how popular the event was. Any how. It's what you make it so we had a great time doing other things

Wonder how the sebasteeno and the Alfa team felt about it. Sonds like the rest of us have had a lucky escape. (puts thinking cap on........ ) BumbleBee carer

There were probably more vehicles from everywhere other than italy. All cars were generally mixed as there just wasn't enough of the same vehicles to split into clubs. Quick walk around and walk out. Unless something drastically changes I cannot see it carrying on for another Last edited by coupedummy; 28/09/2015 00:43.

Yes wasn't great, lots of expensive examples but not alot else to report. 155's parked outside from what I could see, 4x coupes and a good mix of other classics but very low numbers in comparison to years gone by. In all the weekend was excellent, road tripping with friends, good food and beer so Spa was just one part of it for us. Pics to follow but now it's time for bed www.facebook.com/fiatcoupes

They seem to have screwed up a good event and shot themselves in the financial foot to boot. The club will be looking for an alternative European event to attend next year, possibly in Holland. 16VT and X1/9 1500 + e208 Peugeot We must all do our part for the planet.

sebasteeno Unregistered S	Well us 155 boys had a great weekend! Saturday was quiet and when i did my parade laps i reckon there was only about 30 cars out, sunday though was much busier with over 100 parading. On my saturday track session there was a blue coupe who was battering it and locking his rear left wheel up constantly then a bit later on i went by him as he stuck backwards in the gravel. Saw a couple of others in the Fiat area too Some of my pics Last edited by Begbie; 05/10/2015 10:32. Reason: Fixed photo links
