Auto-Italia at Brooklands on Saturday May 3rd is one I'll be doing for sure too.
If you can give us some dates for the other events we might join you.  :D
The FMC will not have a stand at the Bromley Pageant this year. I've been sent the application forms and I thought of ordering a 3 car stand (?15) for Simon, you and I but then decided against it. If anyone wants the forms to order a 3 (or 15!) car stand let me know.

I'd definitely be up for another Southern Run - but only after I've renewed the insurance on the Abarth :-\ I suppose it had better be near you or I Theo, as we went to Andy and 'Nita's last time 8)

Theo - why did you decide against a stand at the Bromley Pageant? You and I nearly always go to that one - might have been a laugh. I didn't realise that the FMC had to pay for the privilege though >:( Bloomin cheek of the organisers! >:(

I didn't know there was an Eastbourne Motor Show Andy. I'd probably be up for that too! ;D Could be fun - a weekend by the Sea 8)

Are you volunteering Simon? Good. Let us know where and when and we'll be there  ;D :D ;)


Theo - why did you decide against a stand at the Bromley Pageant?


Last year I was at the nearly empty FMC stand and it rained all day. Not a good incentive to go back this year. Plus I am often there on the Lancia stand with the Gamma (my divided loyalties again). Plus I didn't know if you and/or Andy would be there so didn't want to commit myself and pay for a stand. Plus I think it's very wrong of the FMC not to have a stand there but that moan should be on a different forum...

OK ::). Give me a couple of weeks to sort things out and I'll try and arrange another Southern Run around the Hogsback/Farnham/Aldershot and Farnborough regions. 8) If I arrange something though, somebody better show up other than just me!! :P

Point taken about Bromley Theo. I, like you, am pretty disgusted about the FMC not being there, but as you say, this the wrong forum to air that particular view. ::) Seems that their 'Show Organiser' is even reluctant to organise a show on his own door step! >:(

In 1989 and 1990 I organised the FMC stand at Bromley and we had 25 to 30 cars at each event. It was a huge stand and we didn't have enough room! :o How things have chnaged :-\

Never mind - perhaps us 131 Boyz can do something to keep the FIAT flag flying ;D
