Saturday 7th Oct0ber 2017 - Final Italian Car Breakfast Meet

[solaris998]

So the final breakfast meet of 2017 in on Saturday October 7th @1000AM. The Aug one we had 48 Italian cars, evey marque was represented. the meeting is again being organised in the same format. Its an informal meeting of Italian car enthusiast, we parkup, chat, admire the cars, and have a good breakfast(best to get in early before the queue really picks up lol!).

The meet will be held at 10am at The Departure Lounge Cafe GU34 4BH, just outside Alton in northern Hampshire.
It's open to any Italian car of any age, and we have had classics through to modern Alfas, Fiat's and Ferraris and everything in between. Attendees have come from across the southern counties, with enthusiasts arranging their own convoys from Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, and Surrey or arriving independently.

The cafe is a great venue for a breakfast meet, as it has a large solid field on which the owner lets us park so all the cars are together and out of the main public car park (have a look at the photos from the last event (http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/south-central/1083858-saturday-5th-august-2017-italian-car-breakfast-meet-2.html#post16351673) and this youyube video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xk2I5wsdT1s)

There are few meeting points, for those coming from Southern Hampshire there is a meet at 08:30 in the car park of Sainsbury's at Junction 7 of the M27 (Hedge End), close to the petrol station, and then drive up in convoy.

There is also another meet in Newbury at 0900 in the McDonald car park McDonald - Newbury Retail Park, Pinchington Ln, Newbury RG14 7HU

So for the final one of 2017 we would love to see as many as possible, and hopefully have a new record of Italian metal there (48 is the current).
Please spread the word to other Italian marque forums or boards, and get those cars down there!! the breakfast is worht it!!

hopefully see you then

Thanks Alan,

I will be there- the last one in August was brilliant fun, with a great variety of Italian cars to enjoy. And yes, breakfast is good!

Don't know how I haven't seen this before, would love to come along to this in my 159 Ti.

Yes I'll be at this one, unfortunately I had to miss the last two. There should be at least a couple of us (Alfa 159 Ti and Fiat Coupe 20VT), looking forward to a chat and some great cars.

[Ross 156]

Great- look forward to seeing you there.

[Denorth]

Getting closer! Getting exiting!

Note to myself - not to forget to wash the car with all the excitement.

[SmudgeQ4]

For the convoy up from Hedge End are there any planned stops for others to join on the way. I'm 50/50 on making it depending on other commitments but if I do a drive with others would be good as weathers looking promising.

Alternatively if anyone from the Winchester Area is heading up and fancies joining up for the drive let me know

From the main thread Ill take this option,

" Hi, we will be leaving Hedge End at 08:30, and too have a stop at The George & Falcon pub on the A32 on the way there, so you could join us there. Not sure what time though- probably around 08:45. "

[Denorth]

Absolutely incredible event it was - more than 80 cars with some great rarities,

Alfa Romeo RZ, SZ, DeTomaso Pantera, Maserati Ghibli Cup and many, many others. See you all in April!

[smarty156]

Unfortunately I couldn't stay long but I'll stick the next one in the diary and hopefully bring my son with me next time too.
Lots of lovely cars there.
