If you haven't already purchased your ticket you will need to do so in advance

HERE

Glad I checked - thought tickets were on the day! Anyway ticket now booked

Tickets bought, myself and Angelo will be there but only in 1 coupé 😀

Nice one guys, looking forward to it

We have a lot to live up to

Hopefully will again this year

Might this be a wish too far...

Have you got an FCCUK banner Simon?

Yep, says he gassing for the 14,000th time

Have great day at Hopetoun.

Take plenty of photos please.

Hope you guys have a great day, Marco Haig said he's going as well

Ha - this "rogue" Portofino turned up (one of two actually, the other owner has already joined the forum!) so with my "hat" on I went over to leave a note but then Marco turned up and claimed it!

Will post pics later...

Oh and welcome in advance to the forum Portofino Glen who was the owner of the other Porty, sportingly accompanied by camera-wielding daughter

Thoroughly enjoyable day, fine weather (not hot) and good to be out and about with like-minded folk crazy about Italian cars again

Great efforts from Rob and Angelo to come up from Carlisle and good to see a new face from Glasgow in Glen in his Porty, hope you can join us at our monthly evening meets in Newhouse/Livingston

Scott and Craig's LE's were looking minty and we'll be seeing a lot more of Alan and his 16v now's he's up in God's country

My lad Ben suggested moseying round the House after it all quietened down, there was a deal for SICD ticket-holders so in fact it turned out very enjoyable and welcoming - it's a lived-in house and the residents seem to be generous with what people can see/touch/experience. Assistants all very friendly too.

Some more pics

And one unusual, nay, rare model...(not a coupé!)

Thanks for the photos Simon, and not a kilt in sight !

We’ve missed this fantastic venue. Massive turnout, spilling over into another car park, which continually grew all day.

Had many in-depth conversations with strangers and great compliments on the work done to my car, very humbling.

Brian, missed you today mate. Hope your road trip is going well. Great to meet up again with everyone, hope to meet up in a few weeks at Thirlstane Castle

Hi All
Great to be back at a car show and viewing and chatting cars for good few hours. Also met a few on here, and managed to sneak in with the rogue Portofino

Looked like a great day

Some good pictures and a good time by all accounts

Hi Glen and a formal welcome, congrats on joining so fast

As I mentioned on Sunday June 19th there is a big meet at Thirlestane by Lauder - although entries are officially "in" if you are interested I will approach the organisers to see if you can join us on the pitch.

Thirlestane thread HERE

Not going to be able to make that one unfortunately as I return from holiday that evening

Actually you might have mentioned that come to think of it but if you want to PM me your phone no. I'll keep you in touch with when we have our meets

Yes it was a good day and a great coupe turnout

I hope you can live with yourself Simon bullying that poor little broomy Seicento out of our line up though...

It was six against one Alan
