Kinda strange that such a wonderful event in a perfect location with some stunning cars gets such little coverage on Pistonheads. Oh, well....your loss!

[sb-1]

I have been going to this event for years....this year has to be the best so far:

Wall to wall Ferrari's and Lambo's etc!

Unusual to not see any Miuras there, or did they turn up later on?
I loved the racing Icsunonove.

We were there with our Lancia Stratos replica
Wonderful day out but I have got sunburn!

Saw your Alitalia car? in the Lancia owners club paddock....Nice! Is it a Hawk?

Highlights of the day were works Metro 6R4 (Not Italian but lovely noise) & Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera blatting up the test hill.

F50 on the static display

Arbath Fiat 600

Various McLaren SLR roadsters at Mercedes Benz World next door including a German plated dark metallic green one

was meant to be going but ended up with my car in pieces last night trying to fix it, and got too tired to think straight by half 2 this morning plus it was a tad chilly and damp at that point too

Ours was the Rally San Remo Olio Fiat one, blue, yellow and white. It's a NapierSport Corse I with an Alfa v6. It was a good turn out really, 4 of us

A Giocherellona, I was chatting to your husband for a while, (I was the tall, unshaven, shaggy haired bloke) sweet Stratos!
hope you both enjoyed the drive as much as I did.

[Giocherellona]

Ah, hello
It was nice to meet you!

I've put a picture of the strats in my profile.
FunWithRevs was wearing a brown Pistonheads t-shirt.

Well folks, being completely obsessed with Lamborghini cars and supercars in general, this saturday (3rd May) myself, the missus and a few mates attended (for my fourth year running) the Auto Italia Magazine Spring Italian Car Festival.

A couple of non Italian cars sneaked in: a Swiss built Monteverdi and a pukka Group B Metro 6R4. Nobody complained at their attendance!

Oh, and on the way there it turned out that in a straight line my BMW E30 335i is faster than my mate's lightly tuned Subaru Impreza with one less passenger too! He couldn't keep with me from 30mph to errrm... 69.5mph! Mwuuhaaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaa!
He wasn't happy about that!

Stephen; I saw no Miuras either, a shame but it was still a fantastic display as usual!

There was also plenty of nice cars in the general car park!
Anyway, here's the link to the photos!

I remember they chucked out a Koenigsegg CCR a couple of years back.

[ROOODBOY]

I can't get the correct link to work!

Edit: I think it's ok now!

Which one was yours?
They all looked stunning mind you!

I'm sorry to anybody who's cars I didn't snap, there were too many there to get them all!
