Poole 15 July 2016 Quay For My Car

[alfaspecial]

After being rained off last year the 'Italian Stallions' are back:

Q4MC is a very informal gathering of Italian cars on Friday 15th July from 6pm 'til about 9pm.
The organisers ask us not to arrive before 6pm.
Poole Quay is a great location, plenty of bars & food outlets all with the beautiful backdrop of Poole Harbour.

If you bring your Maserati you certainly won't be 'Billy-No-Mates'......

Should be good - assuming the weather stays kind. In both 2013 & 14 we had a Ferrari F40 amongst other exotica. There are some nice cars in the Sandbanks area.

Yep, already signed up on there too

Did the 2014, I really enjoyed it, family maybe not so much, but hey ho - followed the F40 & I think a Testarossa back home to the forest too, bonus! Will try to get there, domestics permitting...

Bump for Friday

Feast your eyes on photos from a couple of years ago (thanks to R Denton)

Do you have to register Or can you just turn up? Anyone going from Southampton way? If go just got to decide which car to take! Fiat or Lancia

No need to register, you just turn up.
The Quay area is cleared of public parking from around 5pm(?) and opened for display cars at 6pm. It officially closes at 9 but you can come & go @ anytime.
They ask people not to queue and block the roads - so no point arriving much before 6 - conversely there is 'only' space for around 120 cars so if you do arrive much after 6.30 you might have to wait for a space (one in/one out.) That being said, given the forecast I imagine there will be fewer than 120 cars?
As for which car - either of yours would be great!

Sorry to hear that - hope you are able to sort out the problem.

Event was brill. Numbers of attendees down, presumably due to weather but great variety including a f40 and (at least) two Testarossas.

Thanks, I've banished it to Autolusso in Ferndown, should be an easy enough fix. Won't repay all the cleaning, hoovering & missed fun though - a session on the naughty step beckons...
