Hi Ja,

I might get along to this - all depends upon other commitments that the wife has booked us in to and the weather - oh yeah, and how big my hang over is Last New Year's Day I wasn't able to get out of bed until after midday, so sunglasses were needed!

I went a few years ago and the Italian cars were few and far between. Will you be attending?

Simon

[jasonh131]

depending on what state we are we might be about

talking about brooklands i have e'mailed mr ward about next years auto-italia there in may
asking about if we can have an area for our 131s, he did reply saying he mjght be able to squeeze us in the paddock,mind you he sent a picture of a group 4 131 and said if they look like this,so ive replied saying they might not look like that but they are nice looking cars.

we let you know if i here anymore would be nice to have a display of our cars and to advertise the forum and the3ma

[jasonh131]

jason

[simon131]

It will probably be a free for all - it was the last time I went

Who is going, cos if no one is then I'll have a few beers more than I planned to tonight!

[jasonh131]

 think some from fmc as well

[simon131]

Ja,

Will try and get there if I can and provided I get up before noon! Won't be there all day though as I have to be back at my folks for a family get together for 4.30.

Cheers

[simon131]

Sorry to hear that Nita is not well - get well soon Nita!

Wendy and I send her our love

Andy, now's the time to get that word in edgeways mate!?

We didn't make the Brookland's thing either - see my posting about 'the start to another great New Year'. Spent a fair amount of time this morning talking to friends and the Police about the state of (read - lack of!) Policing in Hampshire!! Apparently by 11.30 this morning (when we reported our vandalism) 798 cases of vehicle crime had been reported to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary since the start of the New Year Makes me wonder just what on Earth I pay my Council tax for!!! Their Christmas Ball I suppose

[jasonh131]

i managed to get there, empty roads flew round the m25, stung for ?3 now at the bridge ,wide veraty of cars from vintage to brabus mercs , afew from the 500 clud and the big ol 130  acouple of ferrari's ans me for the italians but lots of interesting sorts ,load of visitors there and only ?6 for exibiters ( take note mr ward )

[Andy c]

Thanks Simon+wendy Anitas got a voice back great news  i think

[kev131]

Good to hear Anita is back to herself Andy - She is the life and soul of any gathering - I wouldn't put her in a group with anyone from Ballinakill though - The air would be blue in minutes!!?

I really hope you are both considering 3MA09 - Go for the full set!!?

Jason - Your car looks fantastic - have you painted her - or just spent a fortune on T Cut & polish..?
