It could be that we do it at the end of the day or somehow get that section of the site on the day. The one area has a mix of cars, maybe its an over-flow area? Would there then be an additional charge at all even?

Then pick the venue closest to the highest concentration of coupes? Also has anyone spoken to Fiat? Maybe they can help sponsor it somehow. They could even set up some new Fiat 500s to one side for sale or something...

The smallish number of responses to this thread indicate not many know of the proposed ideas and we need to get the message out to every member on here.

Spee Unregistered S	Originally Posted By: Spee I admit I was surprised this was only discussed in the members area! I think just getting an idea of numbers interested in taking part would be a good start. As far as I'm aware we all had to give an email address to join so there is a start, a blanket email to every club and forum member asking for their interest. I imagine there are hundreds of member interested in this that know nothing about it, there are plenty of guys and girls who only come on here once in a blue moon, usually when something goes wrong! Got to be worth a punt surely? Gareth

It takes a massive amount of organising and some considerable cost too. At present the club board do not have the time to undertake this unless someone is willing to volunteer to organise it with club help? John

I'd be willing to get involved.......as for cost, if everyone who wanted to join in was willing to put a tenner in or something, that would go a long way to paying expenses. P.S. does it necessarily have to happen at an event....could you not organise this as a one off? Back Owning a Coupe

Has his been discussed anywhere on here at all? I've seen it briefly mentioned but thought it might be good to get a topic up and going on it specifically as I think we should make one HUGE concerted effort to do this. Thing is, do we know the current record or of any other attempts? It would be great for us all to really have a good go at this, and it's not long off now! Maybe even get some sort of promotion of the event with t-shirts/stickers etc? I appreciate this should maybe be in a meet/events thread but please mods can we keep this thread in general chat as it will hopefully involve disussion of the whole record attempt and what it may entail. Finally, forgive me if there are or have been discussions or threads on this already. Cheers Dave Is this dead in the water now or still on-going in the background? This is how it should have come out of Torino!
