I have been on a diet don't you know.........


Ok it hasn't worked but I have been on one


Some nice pictures there Antony

now that you mention it, I overheard something about it at Spa.
At that time you were on a 30 day diet and sofar you'd already lost 15 days

Hope this link works to some pic's from Spa.

Baby Cash there is one there date and time stamped showing the coupe area Sunday afternoon.

You were on track with a 166 I didn't even see a 166 at the event

Nice pictures BTW

I have never seen a Coupe like THIS in the UK.

Phew

It was certainly, um, different!

Thanks for the pic's Bob as you can see most of mine are from inside the car so nice to see it on track. Have a few more that I will put on photo bucket when I get time , thanks again . PW

Boostd, thanks for the pic's . PW

looks like you had a great time guys.hopefully you guys do the same thing next year so and i can make it with the new coupe

I plan to do it again, but hope that next year the Spa Italia folks get a Coupe only area set aside for parking

The organisers have been made very aware of their parking shortcomings and have promised that it will not be repeated next year.

assume next years starts planning in oct/nov again?

I should be going again, but I want to try and put together a bigger trip too

Anyone see the pictures from John ?

What a clean Engine Bay

There will probabably be nothing firm from the SpaItalia organisers until February or March next year, but preparation work will be going on at club level before then.

Been looking at 2009 options.......

Option 1

Drive down through France to the Med, then along and into Italy. Do some Italian stuff then catch the German Moto Rail service from Verona to Dusseldorf, then on to Spa Italia?

Great i will be up for this hopefully.What a great holiday away from the mrs.

BARMYBOB -> MP

Bob,

I'll talk this through in perhaps more detail on Tuesday when we have the Cambridge minimeet, but be aware I'm starting to think about considering letting the idea of planning an Italian trip cross my mind. I've spoken briefly with SimonJ about it...

Specifically, fifteen year reunion at the Pininfarina factory, see the collection, roof of the Lingotto if possible...

Key points:
- one week/ten days max
- gentle drive in the country, rather than all out blast (if only because 30mpg at 80 is a quarter the price of 7.5mpg flat out!)
- channel tunnel
- decent hotels, rather than Formel 1
- stop at/close to (probably) Riems, Dijon on the way down
- avoid motorways/tolls if possible
- interesting looking passes around Val d'Isere
- *possible* then across to the west - Brescia, Lake Garda, North (more passes!) to Austria and thence home via the German motorway system up the Rhine, turn left at Aachen - though that's really a two day trip of itself.

To be on a race track in and of itself does not hugely interest me; I see this as a holiday rather than a cruise and I'd like to get some architecture in (and some retail therapy for she who must be obeyed!). Equally, it's not an all-out blast; it's a grand tour to see the places rather than how fast the cars will go - we already know that. And finally, I'd very much like to do this within the aegis of the FCCUK.

Neil

yes we do almost every year the rail service, it saves you a night stay, fuel and 1000kilometers on the car.

you should meet us in Italia at one of the italian club meetings.
