Lately I have been playing around with computer AI systems. It seems you can do anything with AI these days including writing music and lyrics for songs. Put together a few phrases to describe what your song is about, describe in simple terms what you want your song to sound like, genre, tempo etc and even descriptions such as "gritty" and "start off like an engine idling" are taken into account and in a few mouse-clicks you have a complete song!
So on my website you'll find my ode to the Fiat 131 Abarth! Just click here for the song, the lyrics and an online player. You can even download the high-quality MP3 version. So start practicing and we can all sing it together at 3ma25

For 2025, we're off to Northumberland, the magical realm known as Harry Potter's Wizarding country, for an enchanting car rally where we'll be chasing Golden Snitches! It's set to be a weekend filled with potions and pistons, as we race along the Hogwarts Highway through the Forbidden Forest. Welcome to the Mirafiori Wizards magical car adventure on the Spellbound Speedway!
But let's get down to the details: Our base for 3ma25 will be the Riverdale Hall Hotel, Bellingham, Northumberland NE48 2JT. (https://www.riverdalehallhotel.co.uk/)
Nestled on the banks of the beautiful North Tyne River, on the outskirts of the charming market town of Bellingham, the hotel is easily accessible by road. Northumberland, a sparsely populated rural county in the Northeast of the UK on the England-Scotland border, boasts one of the most picturesque and untouched coastlines, featuring 30 miles of unspoiled beaches.
Built in 1886 as a Victorian mansion, Riverdale Hall retains its original charm and character while offering the luxury and comfort of a modern country house hotel. With 28 individually decorated bedrooms, an indoor heated pool, and a sauna, it has been named the “Best Hotel in Northumberland.” The hotel’s award-winning cuisine, extensive grounds, quaint riverside location, and wonderful views make it a premier destination that guests return to time and again.
Northumberland, with more castles than any other county (including Alnwick Castle, which portrayed Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films) and heritage sites like Hadrian's Wall, offers a rugged, remote, cultural, and scenic escape from city life. The landscape feels as much like Scotland as it does England.
We have secured a special deal with the hotel for 3ma25 at £104 per person, per night for Dinner, Bed & Breakfast. The included dinner will be a 3 course meal and coffee. A sample menu is attached for you to explore.
There will be a £10 supplement for single occupancy so it's worth pairing with a friend in a twin room. We have also arranged for one single room with no surcharge in case of an odd number of single occupancy bookings.
With 3ma25 spanning four days, from Friday, 23rd to Monday, 26th May, we have reserved rooms for five nights, from Thursday, 22nd May to Tuesday, 27th May, but they must be booked by the end of February. Book directly with the hotel, and mention “Fiat 131 3ma25” to get our special negotiated rate. You can cancel your booking with no penalty up to 48 hours before arrival, so book early to avoid disappointment. Alternative accommodation in the area is scarce.
You MUST BOOK YOUR ROOM(S) BY THE END OF MARCH, as our reserved allocation will be released after that time. With free cancellation, you can book confidently, knowing you can cancel if needed. To book your room(s), contact the hotel directly and mention “Fiat 131 3ma25.” If you encounter any issues, please ask for Abigail, our contact at the hotel, or email us at 3ma25accommodation@131mirafiori.com.

For 2025, we plan to be in Northumberland, Harry Potter's Wizarding country, for a magical car rally chasing Golden Snitches! It'll be an extended weekend of potions and pistons on the Hogwarts Highway through the Forbidden Forest. The 131 Wizards magical car adventure on the Spellbound Speedway. But enough of the Harry Potter cliches and down to the details: Northumberland is a county in Northeast England, bordering Scotland. In fact we will also venture briefly into Scotland. It is the least-densely populated county in England with wonderful driving roads, plenty to see and do and without too many people to get in the way.
The name of Northumberland is recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as "the land north of the Humber". During the Roman occupation of Britain, most of the present county lay north of Hadrian's Wall. It was controlled by Rome only for the brief period of its extension of power north to the Antonine Wall. The Roman Road Dere Street crosses the county from Corbridge over high moorland west of the Cheviot Hills to Melrose, Scottish Borders. As evidence of its border position through medieval times, Northumberland has more castles than any other county in England, including those at Alnwick, Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh, Newcastle and Warkworth. Alnwick castle was used as a stand-in for the exterior and interior of the magical Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter films.
The dates are Friday 23rd to Monday 26th of May, 2025. We are in negotiations with a number of hotels in the area and we hope to announce our base location soon. But for now we need to have an idea of numbers so if you think you will be able to join the magical Fiat 131 Wizzards tour in Northumberand, please complete the form here or send us an email to 3ma25@131mirafiori.com.

The 27th Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique runs from January 29 to February 5, 2025.
Year after year, Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique continues to stand out for the diversity and authenticity of its route. And there is no doubt that many more competitors will be battling it out for overall victory, in a bid to dethrone Michel Decremer and Jennifer Hugo, winners of the 2024 event in their 1979 Opel Ascona 400.
As usual, the historic version of Rallye Monte-Carlo is reserved to cars that took part in former editions of Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo. For 2025 it includes models having raced between 1911 and 1983. The event is scheduled to kick off just four days after the finish of the 93rd Monte Carlo Automobile Rally.
The towns of departure are: Reims, Bad Homburg, Monte Carlo and Turin. A great event for anyone fancying a classic car break in January.
