Anyone planning or already doing anything?


Shall we have an Italian car driving Pistonheads get together?


What do you think?

The 2nd Scottish Italian Car & Bike Club Meet date is to be confirmed.

I'm also intending on planning something for alfaowners in Scotland in June.

And I'm hoping to go to Wales in May for 100 Alfas on the EVO triangle.

This is being organised by the Welsh alfaowner reps, with info available on the forum.

A few weeks! Best get the engine out of the boot of my 33 then. smile

Are you on about crashing one of the events and putting up a "Pistonheads" banner? I'm in. wink

I can see all the cloth caps falling of at Goodwood now. hehe

There's a gathering at Tuscany May 20th to 25th, no way can I afford to go to that but there is a link to it on Facebook anyone interested I'll post it here.

The thought never crossed my mind. However, if it was a VW ..... smile

Actually, I have to be honest, although my name is down - it's possible that I might be able to make it. There's a rugby festival that same weekend, which I might have to go to (as in no way out). paperbag

Its next weekend.
Not sure if I've actually got one of the 300 places, but still need to confirm if I can make it anyway.

That is sickening as I live about 1 mile from there, but don't pick my car up until this weekend and so had not even thought about going. Gutted!

Philip / UKWill - I guess one of you could have my place. Need to check with the organisers - particularly as it's all being done by the book.

I'm a newbie owner so Phil can have it - unless he doesn't need/want it, then I'd be happy to take your place. Thanks for the offer.

Cheers guys, but I dont think I need it either.

I got a confirmation email from Allams and as far as they are concerned I have a space, but on the limited list of 300 on alfaowner website I dont have a place!

Just sold my GTA anyway, so was thinking about going to this alfaless and combining it with some new car viewings!
Doubt I'll have another Alfa before then..... but you never know!

Maybe see some of you there if I make it anyway, I know a few folk going so I might just be a passenger.

Just to avoid any confusion from the thread title, the actual centenary is in JUNE, not May.
This is the official Alfa event in Milan on the 26 and 27 June:

I must confess that I don't take a look in this section of PH's so apologies if this http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/uk-national-events/... has already been spoken about, but it's not on the list of events (I've just added it). Basically, 16th May driving around Nth Wales with a visit to the Evo Triangle on the return leg biggrin.
