twisted_pr 16 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 Am sure this was mentioned in another thread somewhere (Bigdar's thread about dodgy pubs in Southampton?), but thought it should be a separate topic. http://www.beaulieu.co.uk/beaulieu-events/club-rally/simply-italian Shamelessly stolen text from said page: Come to Beaulieu in your Alfa Romeo on Sunday 30 June for ‘Simply Alfa Romeo’. A gathering of Alfa Romeo cars of all shapes and sizes. Owners of Alfa Romeo cars are invited to bring their car to Beaulieu, both classic and new, and become part of the event. All models welcome. Also featuring a cavalcade and display on the Main Arena of 20 cars chosen from all rally entrants - one of these selected cars will be the winner of the People's Choice Award and Beaulieu trophy. The competition is open to all Alfa Romeo owners taking part in the rally and will take place at approximately 2.30 on the day of the event. Tickets can be booked in advance (10% discount) but feel free to turn up on the day. Admission to the event includes entry to the whole Beaulieu attraction. Entry into the Beaulieu Parkland with your Alfa Romeo is from 9.30am – the Brabazon Restaurant will be open for bacon rolls, cakes, teas and coffees. Please note that if you wish to park alongside your friends, or fellow club members, you must arrive together as there will be no designated areas available. Tickets - 2013 Adults £10.00 Children £5.00 When arriving in an Alfa Romeo and taking part in the event. (+ £1 handling charge per order when purchased in person or by telephone) All other visitors please come through Visitor Reception and the standard admission fee applies, find out more. For updates on the rally please like our facebook page and sign up to our mailing list and select the 'Beaulieu' newsletter. I quite fancy this. Anyone else interested?

Alfa_owner 6 Report post Posted June 5, 2013 Haha the missus might have something to say about the hand holding anyway! Ahhh cool! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clem Fandango 71 Report post Posted June 5, 2013 Just checked my diary and I'm in Bournemouth/Salisbury that weekend, only trouble is I'll have the missus and the inlaws with me. Can ditch the inlaws easy enough but the missus is difficult to shake off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twisted_pr 16 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 Hope you can make it K9d (record the British F1 GP, although I'd have thought they might be showing it live?) 3rd day of detailing and still not finished, eh? You're definitely doing it right Bigdar, this is in your neck of the woods, isn't it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alfa_owner 6 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 Sorry guys.. cant do this and EMMA (european mobile media association). I'm due to be meeting the head judge to discuss which category i can enter the Alfa into. Can i go next time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K9d 108 Report post Posted June 28, 2013 I'm looking more than likely for this now, so who and what am I looking out for, mines a black 156 2.4 SW, the reg start BV51, and its shiny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted_pr 16 Report post Posted June 29, 2013 Mine's an "Azzurro Gabbiano" (sliver/blue) 147 Sele with 156 multispokes, reg ending 4LFA ( / ? ) Such a hard colour to tell with, but mine will be quite shiny too If we want to park together, we'll have to arrange a pre-event meet point, as it's first come first served. (Perhaps Biggy could suggest somewhere, as it's his manor?) Happy to PM mobly no to those that want to meet early or at the show, provided it doesn't end up in any phone boxes or toilet cubicles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigdar 62 Report post Posted June 29, 2013 That's easy, take over the car park at Meridien Modena in lyndhurst Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted_pr 16 Report post Posted June 29, 2013 Nice one. Even has a road sign for Beaulieu right outside it http://www.meridien.co.uk/ 77 High St, Lyndhurst SO43 7PB Hope no-one else has the same idea, as the car park looks, err, "intimate".
