Auto Italia At Brooklands - 04/05/13

Recommended Posts

Its always a good day at brooklands and even better when its crammed full of italian cars :thumbs: this year it is on Saturday 4th May :)

 

The gates open at 8:30 and close at 17:00. there is a lot to see there and you can even take your own car up Brooklands test hill :thumbs:

 

It was a really good day last year (even though it was cold and rainy :grr:) so if theres anyone who wants to go, we can arrange a meet point for the morning and hopefully get parked up near each other :thumbs:

 

More info is here-

I've been a few times now, and to be honest, It gets a bit samey. The company makes all the difference, though :thumbs:

I may go if I can get the day off work.

 

Will take my dad along as he loves Mercs so we could pop next door. :)

We had a quick look in the merc bit last year (well, went in there to get warm and out of the rain :LOL:) and it looked like they had a few new and old mercs in there aswell as info about them all so could be quite interesting :)

I have some experience of 306 diesels. From what I can remember, they're so good on fuel, I thought the gauge had broken. The bloody needle never moved!!! :LOL:

You must have a Friday afternoon car...

 

Phillipe: "Shall we finish making this 306, Pierre?"

Pierre: "Phillipe, my friend, it is Friday. Let us enjoy wine, women and song."

Phillipe: "You're right, of course" *downs tools*

Pierre: "Anyway this one we are building is right hand drive, for a filthy rosbif, no doubt."

Phillipe: "Zut alors!" *spits on car*

Pierre: "Santé!" *clinks wine glasses*

 

And that, my friend, is exactly what happened on the day they made your car. :LOL:

If you need somewhere to stay Dahn Sahf the offer of my spare room is always on. I'm told I'm a great cook if you're in time for dinner ;)

Found out yesterday that my 166 may be fixed in the not too distant future, a bit of a pain as I'm broke and I was happy for it to stay broken.

 

That aside as the poor thing has been of the road for a year it will need about a week of cleaning, then put it on classic insurance for £200 and use it for special occasions. :)

I was going to approach Steve (Finny05) and see about a BBQ and camp at the farm on the previous night then mass convoy down the M40, only an hour to Brooky from there...
