Yep we sure are :-)

anyone else coming from around Portsmouth way, joining up with me and Wal_S ?

Had a brilliant time last year so definitely up for it again.

What is the route for the convoy ? - I'll be coming down from Cambridge.

Well, now you've said that I might just have to break out the Zymol Ital Glaze the day before this event...

everyone is welcome , i'll speak to mario and arrange a meeting point and time and post it closer to the date .

I'll be coming from Kent so if anyone wants to tag along, then shout

Similar to Jas and Patch, my car will be loaded with cleaning gear. What I noticed last year was that I cleaned the car and by the end of the day it was dusty so needed another wipe down before driving off

Well, I suppose you guy's will be joining the M4 at some point, so I could meet you on here (at a service station) at any point from Bristol onwards

Been seriously looking forward to this as it was such a good day out last year esp with amazing weather that day.

Insy - I'm joining from junction 4 M25 so could join up from there or at Clackets Lane service station - but depending on timing as aim to get there fairly early.

Does it matter if your Coupe isn't exactly concours? I'd like to come along and be part of the display.

not at all hammy every fiat coupe is welcome but it would be nice to beat the amount of coupe's that we had last year , i think there was about 50-55 coupes .

Pics from last year can be seen here:

My pics

Suddenly realised I'd been sitting on them for like 9 months without putting them online

54 Coupé's in attendance last year as I recall

Nice pics Bit freaky seeing my ex on a couple of them

I'll be heading down from Cambridge too, so can meet up if you like? I'm sure there will be a few other East Anglians we can convoy with too.

Great - we can arrange a meet nearer the day.

I'll join in the Kent/Sussex convoy

Stick me down for attending then, the other half is quite keen to see the collection of planes too.

I'll be attending!

Pre-booking for 2010

You may already know about this but a mate of mine in the Maserati Club has just sent me the following about pre-booking:

Auto Italia
Spring Italian Car Day
Brooklands
Saturday May 1st

Auto Italia’s Spring Italian Car Day set new attendance records at historic Brooklands last year. The event’s success highlighted the need for a number of improvements for visitors. For 2010 Brooklands has agreed to establish a pre-booking service for displaying cars entering the site. Even better news is that they have also appointed new caterers!

To streamline entry to the museum and to avoid congestion at the Brooklands Road entrance, we strongly recommend the pre-booking service for displaying Italian cars. To avoid disappointment and to ensure that your Italian car is part of the display please book through www.brooklandsmuseumshop.com. The last date for advance ticket purchase is April 16th.

Late arrivals and all non-Italian cars will be directed to the public parking area at The Heights off Wellington Way.

Entry Prices:

Advance On the day
Adults £10 £12
Seniors £9 £10
Children £5 £6
Family £28 £30

For general event information visit www.auto-italia.co.uk

Italian Car Clubs can take advantage of exclusive group entry via Mercedes-Benz World. For details contact Phil Ward at phil.ward@chpltd.com

Wow, that really hurt my eyes!

The club is aware of this.

Jolly good - I hadn't spotted it and last year was a right balls-ache to get in.

Sorry about the 'glare' - got carried away with the text options.

Thanks for the info Burty

think we sill have to start an east anglia convoy post/list and arrange a meeting point!

pre warning to Sedicivalvole DO NOT BE LATE!!!

So do we all pre-book individually via the website or do it as a group through the club?

2nd Jas, whats the best thing to do, as I didnt get the car in last year and would love to this year.

get there early and you will get on the fccuk parking area

Mr and Mrs Barnacle will be attending, as always, but this year with not one but two coupes.

That way we can escort Princess and keep her safe from those other nasty road users.

(We say that to keep Lashes happy - really, we're shielding the other road users from that gawd-awful interior!)

Give us a couple of days. Mario is going to speak to someone about group bookings and see if it is any cheaper if we do X amount of tickets.

I'm well up for it and a bit of hill-climb if poss

should we make a list of people attending?
