Irish Fiat 131 event incl GKMR09

[kev131]

I've been to North Conway too Kev (which I think you'll find is actually in New Hampshire)

Bummer - Right again - I've checked...but only just apparently ...abt 2 miles!

Thanks for the bear advice - It's great to see a new part of the states but boy is everything commercialised...you gotta pay for everything..even poor service!  

We're off to the W/Mntns now and from there to Vermont and Lake Placid afterwards. Hopefully the hotels will all have internet access cos it's nice to keep up with the 131 world.

For anyone not staying in the Heights, but joining the group for dinner, the hotel have advised that a 4 course dinner with choice of starter, main course and desert is ?15.00 per person. 

That's a great price !

I've had an e-mail from the Irish Vintage Scene journalist who plans to cover the event that he expects to come along on Sat morning and will travel some of the way to Dingle with us. So, for anyone hoping to get a pic of their Fiat in the magazine, early morning polishing starts at 6.0am!  

I'm advised that the area immediately in front of the hotel will be cordoned off, (probably with cones and tape) for the exclusive use of our group, so if you arrive early please reverse park in front of the hotel (like in 2007) to get the best line up for photos (as well as overnight security).

If we are lucky, the publicity from the magazine will further strengthen the numbers of classic Fiat owners who will to attend these events in the future.

Two hardy young fellahs like you should be able to survive without one night's sleep and be able to replace a pint glass with a chamois in one simple process.
