Andy

[Gremlino]

Yes Reading services if ok, time... I will attempt to be there on time 
What time did we meet there last year Andy?

Andy,

We need to allow for any mishaps along the way but what time does the event open? We were late last year and ended up having to drive through the crowd to get to our allotted plot. We don't really want to do that again this year if we can help it.

I'm happy to meet at Reading services again.

[Andy c]

I think you should set of the day before   after last year ,lateness  ,water leaks  

[simon131]

I assume that you're not coming this year then Jason?

[jasonh131]

No  sorry guys , brother in law come from usa to visit , and not enough wonga  
 so get some pics

[simon131]

Right then. If the event opens to the public at 9am and we can get in from 7am I suppose we should set up on site by 8.30  and it's an hour and a half almost to Combe from Reading Services so are we meeting at 07.00am?

Andy, give us a time and we'll be there.

[Andy c]

make it abt half 7 at reading

[simon131]

OK then, 07.30h at Reading Services on the M4 - west bound.

Graham, knowing your "fondness" for being late, if you aim to be there for 05.00h we should all arrive at the same time tomorrow morning!

[jasonh131]

well did you all get there on time
 and did anyone take a camera 

[simon131]

Only two cars on the www.131mirafiori.com stand this year which was probably just as well as the plot wasn't exactly huge! Andy and I "flew the flag", (we must get ourselves a flag for these kind of shows ) and yes Jason, we did take our cameras - pics will be posted up when I get a minute.

Lots of interest generally, not least because our two cars gave a welcome relief on the eye among the sea of Subaru Imprezzas, Mitzy Evos and assorted 'sporting' Ford Focuses! It was a bit 'chav city' in part but the weather and traffic were kind and the event generally well organised, so it made for a good day out.

How not to start a conversation with me about my car - "Has it had much welding?" 

Pics will be posted in due course.

Other meaningless boring comments could have been:

1) Has it got any filler.

2) Wouldn't you rather have an Imprezza, Evo (the thought of it)!!

3) The RS Escort was a better Car.

4) The RS Escort was a more successful Rally Car. Ignorance.

5) It's not worth as much as my fully chaved up 2.8i Capri.

Can anyone else add to the list of such comments.

How about this one?

Which type of Lada is this?

Something what happened to me a couple of years ago. It was in the middle of summer and window was open:

I was waiting for right turn before a traffic light in my Stradale. Car stops left of me. Mother and son. The son says:"look mom, a Maserati". I said:"no kid, this is a FIAT"... You should have seen his face....
