Auto Italia - Brooklands, Surrey, Sat May 2nd 2009

Fiat Coupe Forum
- Founded by Kayjey & James Northam
- Funded by the Club for the benefit of all owners

IMPORTANT NOTICE - Access to Technical Info on Forum
The original ethos of the Forum was to make technical information

including How To guides, FAQs, etc. available to all Forum members

without subscription, but in recent years we have seen a decline in

Club membership numbers whilst the costs for hosting the Fiat Coupe

Forum web site have increased. Club membership pays for the Forum and

provides other benefits, and to ensure the long term viability of the

Club and Forum, it has been discussed and agreed at the recent AGM that

the technical sections of the Forum should be accessible only to Club

members with a current subscription, starting from 01-January-2026.

S simonj Unregistered
simonj Unregistered S	The 'stand' is really a reserved area for FCCUK which will fit around 20-30 cars, if you're there by mid-morning you should be able to park in the FCCUK area no problems. Auto Italia website says event starts at 10am, but they've let people in earlier than this before, about 9.30. Hill runs are a demonstration event with limited slots. I believe these are restricted to a couple of cars per club and the three slots have been taken by Barnacle, Sugerbear and Porkypaul

Trouble is, where the car is, i can only get to it on May 2nd and it's in Lincoln, bummer Originally Posted by Jonny - After being taken out at Spa Your car is Usain Bolt with wellies
