I posted this a while ago on the Facebook page and thought I'd also done so here, apparently not. Last year there were at least six cars present, it would be great to match or beat that amount this year. So who will be coming to fabulous event?

I’m probably coming to this but… I noticed my brake fluid reservoir was looking a little low at the weekend after the car hadn’t been used for a few weeks. I topped it up and went for a drive but have been waiting to see if there’s an issue. So far not seen any leaks underneath, level has stayed the same for a few days and brakes and clutch working fine so a bit of a mystery!

I noticed that if you’re an exhibitor you get a £5 drink voucher:
Adult + Exhibitor Vehicle Pass - Pre booked
£7.50 Includes £5 Drink voucher upon entry ( 1 per car)

It says gates open at 10am, Andrew do you know from previous attendance if that’s the earliest that exhibitor cars should arrive?

That's good news, I hope your car will be fine.

According to the details with the ticket. ORGANISER TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

1) We require all traders & exhibitors to be on site by 9am, with the gates opening to the public at 10am
2) In the interest of public safety no vehicles are to be moved between
09:00 – 17:00 without the assistance of event staff.

Last year I didn't arrive until lunchtime (parking in the general cars carpark), had another event to go to beforehand, however I believe most people arrived at 10 o'clock with their cars. Will see if I can find out some more info in the next day or so.

I’ve booked my ticket. Would be good to meet some more club members there if any of you can make it…

Hi all,

Sadly not sure I'm going to be free to make this- doubly sad as its so close!

Simply saddled with work to try and pay off the ever increasing tax burden this country demands....so left it too late to register the car- and now likely going to have to work over the weekend anyway.

Quite gutted-just hope I can make at least an appearance and say hi to everyone.

Last years event was attended by several Coupe owners from across the UK. And a lot of nice Lamborghini and Ferrari products to oogle over as well as some rarer 50's 60's Italia machinery.

Hope I can at least drop by.

Regards

MM

Sorry to hear that MM. When I looked a couple of days ago it was still possible to register.

Hope you'll have time to drop by. If not I'll soon be arranging a meal.

Regs,

A

This was a good show, I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was great to meet and chat with some more Coupé owners. We had 5 cars in the end with a spread of models and colours.

Sad to have been forced to miss this just to keep the tax man happy.

Looks like you had a good time- and that's a nice collection of coupes!

And hope the rain just about stayed away to!

Regards

MM

Thanks to everyone who came from near and far, although Andrew C's coupe had an issue, so instead he brought his fabulous 3.2 litre Busso engined Alfa 166.

Rain stayed away too and it wasn't a hot day either.
