Will be there if no Snow

Hi Neil,
All things being equal and weathers reasonable I'll be there, was a good day last year if B----y Cold.

Great day out last time, hope to be there.

Robin.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it this year as I was foolish enough to fall off my mountain bike and break my back.

Fortunately it is healing well and am now targeting to be able to make it over for the AGM.

I hope it is a bit warmer for you this time.

Jim

We had a blast last year Jim!

Get well soon.

Robin.

Yes, it was great this year and will be there, but like most, only IF the weather is reasonable.

I'd be there regardless of the weather (roads being passable of course) if only I was in the UK.  :'(

Have a cuppa in the tea room for me please!  Missing you all.

Hello Guy,
Sorry the SA contingent won't be able to make it this year, so I'll be thinking of you when I pour my tea into the saucer before blowing on it :D

Brian, while you are about it, don't forget the handkerchief tied with a knot at each corner to keep the sun off!   ;)

Neil, did we not have to book in advance last year to get into the display area?

Brian

Brian, I don't remember booking last time, I have left a message with the museum to check.

Brian, seems you were correct, the museum called me back, as the event has become more popular, the museum have started to reserve areas behind the hangar, I have provisionally booked 10 places, we can add to that if required.   Gates open from 9.30am, entrance from Brooklands Road, pre 1973 cars get a £1 off the entrance fee.

Can I suggest you send me an email (surreylancia@ntlworld.com) if you would like to come along to gauge numbers and I can arrange further spaces if required.

Thanks Neil,
perhaps it's me getting events mixed up ???

Well, at the moment the weather's looking ok for next Saturday so might try and make this one as the Fulvia hasn't been run since June! do we know how many want to attend?

I guess attendance will be weather dependant, as the snow and ice is going and hopefully the salt off the roads too, may be we might get 6+ I have booked 10 places for the club, the more the merrier!

i may well get to the old motor course tomorrow with my sport.if there is any room left in the display area do i just go to the 'clubs' entrance or is some form of booking for specific vehicles reqd?anyhow hope to be there somehow or other.must be the mildest forcast for new years day for some time!happy new year to all

Yep, hoping to be there tomorrow, battery now on charge, hope the brakes aren't siezed and she starts after a six month lay up! see ya tomorrow.
Happy New year :)

Thanks to all who attended the event today at Brooklands, a fine turn out of 12 Lancias in all, a great collection, sorry about the drizzle we had a for a while, otherwise a good turn out, only 2 Alfas and no Fiats - very odd!

a lovely day at Brooklands.the drizzle was preferable to that arctic stuff and a wonderful turnout of many marques.Robin i think your Di lambda which i have previously only seen in photos looks supurb in the flesh-a beautiful mistress!i hope everybody got home safely.next up is the VSCC meetting with the test hill runs i guess.also i hope the chap who fell very hard headfirst down the banking will be ok.best regards richard and anoushka

Looks great Neil,
Sorry I couldn't make it.

Jonathan and I very much enjoyed the event even if we travelled home courtesy of the AA once again! :( Modestine disgraced herself by boiling as we arrived and again a mile or two into the homeward journey.

Robin.

Robin, sorry to hear you required the services of the AA yesterday, I hope it just a minor radiator clean/flush that is required, good news on that spare head gasket!
