The FCCUK gazeebo looks very 'pro' in the past photos of the event and Serg1's yellow plus looks good! http://www.honningtonevents.com/italiancar.htm Pre register your car for free admission and pay a donation on the gate for the Air Ambulance. Hope to see you there. 1. Submariner

This was due to too many members of the public trying to get down the narrow lane! It looks like Sheriden Bowie is more keen on Italian machinery than duck herding and Newfoundland dogs pulling kids in carts! Whilst I will still look forward to it I think it may have lost a bit in transition. 352bhp+317ftlb/1310Kg=Joy!

Yellow_Peril Unregistered Y	I think it is approx. 2 hours from Banbury to Honnington TN4 0XD so if their gates open to Exhibitors at 9 then we would need to leave at 7am / 7:30 latest ? Problems will be trying to keep together with possible heavy traffic round M25 especially near Heathrow - but it might be quiet on a Sunday morning?

Can I suggest an alternative that I went to last year close by around a similar time of year: Edenbridge car show. This year on the 10th September. Although not exclusively Italian the was a massive turnout and really friendly similar atmosphere to Honnington. I think it was only their 2nd year so expecting an even bigger show this year. All for charity so very unassuming and all sorts of cars to see. I'll try and post the link this evening as only posting on phone at the moment, but in the meantime their website for this years show is live. Chris https://lancia1965.wordpress.com

I went onto their website and there is a pdf entry form to download. Can I suggest that I start a new thread for it and get an idea of likely attendees? It also means you will get your umbrella and chair back from last year!! 352bhp+317ftlb/1310Kg=Joy!

It was a really good show and probably around 150 cars at least last year so probably double the size of Honnington. Very unpretentious with a real mix from £1m mercs and jags to treasured allegros! And by the way you should be charging me a storage fee for the umbrella/chair so I owe you a drink! Regards Chris https://lancia1965.wordpress.com
