THE GRAND FINALE, to the classic car year, 16,17,18, november, 9 cars on our stand, buy tickets in advance and save, use the code in the parliamo advert, see some of the registrars, put a face to a name you see on here,see other Italian clubs nearby, car park fee applies, but, you do get bus ride to the main entrance, just remember WHERE you parked!! (ahem!)
I lost the Coupe first year up there & it took us nearly half an hour to find it!! Came out of a different part of the building, it had gone dark, black car in the corner of unlit carpark - much waving of remote fob later it finally lit up!
2 yrs ago, forgot to look at a marker post, had a very rough idea where the car was, wandering around for about 1/2 hour, in the dark! and a black car as well!
Just to remind everyone that the NEC show is next week.
If any members are planning to come up and don't mind helping out on the stand to give us a break, there may be the odd ticket spare. Please email me if you are interested.
I went yesterday (Friday) and it was a great show.
Thank you Gavin for the show pass
It's things like this that makes membership of the FMC worthwhile. In one day I saved almost the equivalent of two years' membership subscription for the FMC
I should have got there earlier than midday as there was a lot to see. I only had 5 hours there and I met up with lots of people which meant a lot of chatting took place so I didn't get to see everything
Here's some of my photos from yesterday.
Unfortunately the lighting at the show wasn't good and in fact particularly bad near the Fiat and Lancia stands where a number of lights were out. I took a small camera with a useless flash with me so apologies for the poor quality of some of the photos.
great pictures theo, i saw the lancia gamma, and thought of you with yours, what did you think of the gamma?
oh yes, lost my car again! in the daylight, asking security where N 11 WAS, and left my wallet in the car! qoute from gavin "durr!" good weekend, thanks for the passes for me and grace
