Bristol Italian Auto Day - April 19th 2014

[AngryApples]

This suddenly popped in my head yesterday, as so many of us seem to enjoy attending each year

For those unfamiliar, it's an event for the display of Italian cars and bikes, everything from early Alfas and modern Lambo's to Vespa's and Ducatis - well worth a trip!

This years being Saturday, 19th April:

BIAMF Italian Day Bristol

[Turtle head]

Ohh could be tempted to, drag the MV Augusta out.

[MudSkipper]

Depending on how the house move goes I may well be going and put Cyril on display again.

[PoshTwit]

Will he need a good fluffing first?

[carreauchompeur]

Ace, will definitely make an appearance. May enquire about a table at San Carlo...

[choptop]

Put me down for this. A nice Italian 'warm up' for a few of us

[AngryApples]

Usual meet for a beer/coke in Slug and Lettuce?

[High flier]

I'm of for the Easter weekend, so there's a good chance I'll be there (unless we go to Santa Pod!)

Hi, I'm new to this forum, but subscribe to others and was wondering if any members are heading up the M5 for this. I was planning on meeting a fellow Maserati forum member at Sedgmore services and another friend with a F355....anyone else want to join who's booked in?

I'm a member of the IAMC and received the following update yesterday:

END QUOTE



So if you'd like to attend I suggest you apply ASAP.

[choptop]

So where and when are we going to meet? S and L as has previously been suggested?

[AngryApples]

Right, as we are now just a few days away.....

Shall we say 1330 Saturday at the Slug and Lettuce?

Try and aim for an outside table as the weather looks reasonable(ish)

Apologies out to anyone I fail to recognise from past meets - memory for faces/names is awful!

[CarbonViper]
