rally day

[Andy c]

On the 19th sept 5 of our 131s are convoying down the M4 to the Castle Combe circuit for the annual
Rally day,even though our booking was late and they are sold out the organiser was keen to have some Fiat 131s on show so we are being squeased in at the quary corner.
Been to this event before and its a great day lets hope the weather stays dry.
proberly meeting at the Reading services juust need to decide on what time gates open 09.00 but we
dont need to get there spot on time,sure there be plenty of pics

thats five, can any more 131s  make it

Hi Andy,

Will be good to get 5 Forum 131's together. Well done Sir.

Can you put up here who the five are? Are they -

1) Andy - Abarth replica
2) Simon - 131 Abarth Stradale
3) Theo - 131 Sport???
4) Graham - 131 Volumetrico???
5) Jason - 131 CL???

Can we squeeze in any more or are we limited by the size of the area allocated?

I think we need to get there quite early otherwise we'll end up having to queue into the venue - which won't be good for our aging vehicles.

Tickets arrived today with car passes,if possible they want people set up for 09.00
so shall we meet at the Reading services for 07.45-08.00

we want gate 1 area D1 at quary corner which if the same as before should be a good spot for when the rally cars go track

[Gremlino]

Just in case anyone was wondering where quarry corner is and where the entrances to the circuit are.....

[Andy c]

Cheers Graham i was still thinking how to post the same map

[jasonh131]

jason

we meet at the Reading services for 07.45-08.00

    That's early!    That means I'll have to be on the road by 6:45am! I am not sure there's such an early time on my watch! 

Jason, where do we meet? M25 Junction 24 or South Mimms services? Getting in and out of South Mimms will add about 15-20 minutes to our journey so maybe we should meet at Junction 24 at 7:00 am?

[Thotos]

OK, Jason and I are meeting at Junction 24 of the M25 at 7:00am and all going well we should be at the Westbound Reading Services by 8:00am. See the rest of you there  

[Gremlino]

What a great day out!

It didn't start too good for me & Shaz when Voli started to overheat again....bloody thermostat!

Si had a bit of a water problem too and so we all managed to meet up at Reading Services.

The run down to 'Combe' was a lot of fun and I didn't press on too quickly what 2 old gits in a Fartos?

If you weren't sent to sleep by the endless sea of !BLUE! Subarus there were some good older cars at the event......

One for Pintopower ...
