Auto Italia Brooklands - 2nd May

[Freddie328]

Anyone going?

[Kickstart]

Went last year - excellent weather and fantastic cars. It was rather sureal in the morning as I went out to get a paper as there were more ferraris, lambos etc coming to weybridge than I have ever seen on the road before.

[iandc]

yes I will be there weather permitting. Last year great including the guy with an original Fiat 500 with a Lancia Delta engine in the back!!

[countachman]

I hope to go in my car which will be the first outing since same one last year, it will look fantastic.

[simonigrale]

If I get my car back from the paint shop and my mates cambelts are done on his 355 I think we're gonna have a run down from Nottingham

[Need For Speed]

I hope to be there along with a pal of mine who is selling his wares. I've been a couple of times before and it is a well organised event.

It's so local to us it would be rude not to turn up!

[Mike Rob]

I will be there.

Great. That's a perfectly good thread buggered due to pettiness. Have your personal wars away from PH people. That can be enforced if needed.

I'll be deleting the irrelevant posts later. Don't put any back.

blimey Phil... I was just away from my desk for a few hours and there's either been a big fight to cause such a comment or else you've posted here by mistake...

I deleted a near-on full advertising image from a thread on LCUK's bit of PH this morning and felt like some Stalinist monstercensor taking candy from kids - what on earth did you have to remove?

Just some 'stuff'. Nothing to see here, carry on

Bet I'll be playing hunt the Lambos again as they are never parked in one group

[GFWilliams]

I might be going, depends on how I am doing for exams

[chr55y]

We should be going.

If you have any reasoning power with the powers that be, please get us some space together!

[Colin Lingus]

Over the years, I've tried to persuade Phil Ward (who's still boss of most things to do with Auto Italia as well as the editor) that all the Lamborghinis should be positioned together at any AI event...

With regards to Brooklands when arriving there, he usually just shrugs, points to the latest mass-clotting of predictably red Fiaterris that have arrived and bullied their way into the central enclosure or else will be happy to direct any complaints to the management of Brooklands who usually bring a whole new meaning to the word 'obtuse'...

If all the Lamborghinis attending the event were to meet up near Brooklands at around 07.30 on the day of the meeting, they could then all cruise slowly (hahahahahaha) to the gates without becoming separated and get a good grouping in one of the better areas, somehow...

That nearly happened a few years ago when LCUK cars were all around the back of the Brooklands clubhouse before the fire marshalls made us go anywhere else in case somebody set fire to an empty crisp packet which would have meant they'd have had to drive their fire trucks over all the Lamborghinis in order to put it out - "elf an' sayft'y innit guv, 'viously, fink of d' little babies an' d' liddle fluffy kittens an' puppies an' d' enviwoment"...

Seems odd that you seem to struggle so much?, as one of the regular Ferrari visitors I find myself fortunate that one of our number has organised a display area for us in advance (no bullying required!) and as you suggest we all meet up a little way away from the venue and drive in together, having said that the area was full to overflowing last Year and Karl Verdi kindly found me a space on his (paid for) area I can find out who we arrange with if you'd like

[tannucats]

Thanks, that would be great
