Title: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: Thotos on May 04, 2011, 11:28:11 PM Three 131s from Germany and two from the UK met at the Southbound Fleet Services on the M3 today for a five car convoy to the Passage House Hotel in Kingsteignton. A total of nine 131s are at the hotel this evening with a few more expected early tomorrow morning.

What a pity! :'( Doesn't look so bad after some emergency repairs ;) ;D Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: Thotos on May 09, 2011, 02:17:42 PM Last day of 3ma11 was, for me at least, the best day of a superb event. The driving routes, the roads, the places visited and of course the company were all absolutely fantastic.
But it's all over now and I'm back home drinking coffee, writing this and already reminiscing about the wonderful memories that was 3ma11 and of course looking forward to 3ma12 ;D Photo slideshow has been updated. http://s1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff477/TheoKyriacou/3ma11/?albumview=slideshow (http://s1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff477/TheoKyriacou/3ma11/?albumview=slideshow) Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: Phil on May 09, 2011, 06:48:19 PM First of all many thanks to those of you who organised 3ma for all the hard work you must have put in to make it happen.
Tansy & I have had a great few days, and it was good to put faces to names. Sorry that we had to miss the last day; hopefully next year we will be able to do the whole trip. Below is the link to our photos, first one is a slide show, the second lets you look at the individual photos. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pactdixon/sets/72157626559224803/show/ or http://www.flickr.com/photos/pactdixon/sets/72157626559224803/ Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: kev131 on May 09, 2011, 09:03:15 PM Just home - Exhausted and deafened from 2400kms in 6 days! :o Car performed faultlessly and provided great fun. It's caked in grime from a wet drive home but it's locked away for now.
Had a great time and hope these events continue for many years to come - It was fantastic to meet all the old faces and some new ones too. Thanks to Theo who did a huge amount of admin work for the event and enjoy EV! ;) Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: mirafioriman on May 09, 2011, 09:11:51 PM Glad it went well. When does the planning for the next one start?
Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: Thotos on May 09, 2011, 09:21:18 PM When does the planning for the next one start? Yesterday! ;D Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: Heini131 on May 09, 2011, 09:43:46 PM I did it again ;)
Just arrived at 22.45 (German time) after starting in Devon at 07.30 in the morning (English time) About 1000 Km in one rush + ferry I am done but my car could do the same 3400 Km again without any doubts ;D By the way, i already was a great 131-fan before, but after this wonderful trip i felt in love with this car... Thank you all for this fantastic event :o Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: parrish on May 10, 2011, 02:19:08 AM When does the planning for the next one start? Yesterday! ;D Tell me more! Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: simon131 on May 10, 2011, 06:51:17 AM All in good time Steve. ;D ;)
A great time had by the (extended) Ryle family with good company and great times - shame the weather couldn't be a little kinder, but it was none the less fun for that! ;D Glad that every one got home safe and sound and without any mishap. 8) It's stunning to think that we have between us driven so many thousands of miles/kilometres with such little technical fault from our 30 plus year old cars ;D If only we could keep wiper arms on splines it would have been perfect...... 8) As I live the closest (for a change ;)) I was able to get home, off load the kids and luggage and still be back at my office desk by 1pm ::) :( so it was back down to earth with a bump I can tell you :-\ . Still, now looking forward to 3MA12 Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: bellamacchina on May 10, 2011, 11:58:00 AM Back home yesterday evening with an empty wallet and a head full of great memories. The car performed wonderful and didn't miss a single beat :)
Thanks all for another great time together and see you(and hopefully a lot more new 3MA friends) next year ;D Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: Robert on May 10, 2011, 07:59:02 PM The last 3MA team standing is still having fun ;D
Yesterday again in Dartmoor, today among others at St Michael's Mount (see pics). And we won't let go until Friday morning when we'll have to catch the Dunkerque Ferry in Dover. :P We had a great time with all you Fiat Maniacs and are looking forward to the next 3MA, wherever it may be! Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: 131akafa on May 10, 2011, 09:42:23 PM 1st of all again a big THANK YOU to the organizing team. Also thanks to everyone attending for sharing a great time!!
Ernst arrived back home at 5pm today. Car dirty, driver happy: must have been 3ma ;) :D Holger also arrived home safely this evening at 7pm (so good in time for attending his oldtimer regular table and able to tell a lot about 3ma11 ;) ) Jan and I are just back home after 1st swapping the mirafiori for Gerald's Alfa and then swapping the Alfa for our Uno ..... Pics and vids not yet checked or even sorted but already looking forward to 3ma12 ::) cheers, Ren Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: Ducaty on May 11, 2011, 02:45:46 PM 3ma 2011 - just a fast upload of some pics:

Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: Heini131 on May 11, 2011, 05:57:47 PM Now it is all done :)
The car is completly cleaned and as shiny as it was before departure ;D The green one has been left alone for 7 days now but at the end they are standing side by side :D Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: by beko on May 11, 2011, 09:00:19 PM This a good organisation I am go to 3ma13 but ı am go to turkish my 131 :)
Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: Rob 131 on May 12, 2011, 05:08:05 AM Heini
They are a lovely pair of 131's. Always like the S1 in that colour, Yellow or Silver. I notice you have a few bikes in your garage what are they. Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: Heini131 on May 12, 2011, 10:02:03 AM Rob 131
you are right, i am also in bikes 8) Here we go: -BMW GS 1100 with Sidecar -Suzuki GT 380 -MZ RT 125/3 -Kreidler Florett -Z?ndapp C 50 Sport -TT-Racer Simson S51 modified I could have post some pictures but i am afraid we are in the wrong topic ;) Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: Robert on May 14, 2011, 06:16:12 PM Last 3MA team arrived home yesterday, after 3800 km in a loud blaring 131, still not deafened ;)
The "Ineptitude" did quite good, losing only a wiper arm, spilling moderate amounts of petrol and emitting clonking sounds from the rear axle; her starter only failed two times during the trip. Everything else works ;D Car is now cleaned (took one hour to get the wheels clean of brake dust :o) and sits in the garage, waiting for a little maintenance works. Now's the time to say a big "Dankesch?n" especially to the 3 Mad Amigos who did a great organizing job! And to everybody else who was there. We enjoyed the trip, enjoyed your company and hope to see you again at 3MA12! Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: kev131 on May 14, 2011, 07:33:35 PM I'm delighted that you finally tasted a full 3MA Robert. :)
The 3MAs started as 131 events but for me... the people side of the meetings is as much fun now. The international friendships that have evoled are a special side of the event. Long may it continue.... ;) Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: jape on May 15, 2011, 07:35:17 AM Very big thanks the 3ma 11 organisation !

the atlantic highway (A39) would have been a great blast in the 131 convoy from bude to bridport, i think you did a bit of it on the sunday ,i missed it and had to get home early on that sunday.. Title: Re: 3ma11 as it happens Post by: Thotos on September 18, 2013, 11:19:45 PM This is an old thread and my post isn't really about 3ma11 but last weekend (13th-15th September) was the 2013 Gamma Consortium AGM and Rally which was based in Somerset (Webbington near Weston-Super-Mare) and included drives in North Devon. In fact we had Lunch on the Saturday in Lynmouth which was one of our lunch stops at 3ma11 and that as well a the drives in Exmoor brought back memories of 3ma11 :D
