Title: Brooklands AutoItalia Day May 4th (bank holiday Saturday) 2013
Post by: lancialulu on 03 March, 2013, 09:44:02 AM
Anyone organising? Neil has done a splendid job in the past - I wonder if he can do so this year and get a special theme of Fulvia 50 going as a precursor to Goodwood!!!

I would be up to attend.

Hello, yes I am happy to be the club organiser as before, I was due to contact Auto Italia to reserve a good spot for the club and see how many cars we can take out on the track, assuming they plan to do that again.

Big Question - should the club invest in a Fulvia 50 banner????

Tim, you need to modify the TOP posting title (which you can do as you created the thread :)). I've done it for you and put in in the forum calendar. It's also in the www calendar page (of course). I may go to this too, all things well - but in the Fiat as it's going to be a little easier (and cheaper)....

Tim, the test track session can be arranged through me, however AutoItalia did not come back to me until yesterday, I am not sure if I can get any cars on the track, I can ask, which car do you want to take on the track?

Great day out and amazing drive home to Cornwall on Sunday, blue skies, quiet A303, cracking weekend. Over 500 mile round trip, car didn't miss a beat. Think the hill climb might be past its sell by date.

Cheers

Chris

I didn't watch the performance on the Hill, just as well as I'd have winced badly if I'd seen the Ferrari 360? with a lot of daylight under his wheels, after failing to slow down or brake, if nothing else it sounded expensive, but I haven't heard or seen anything about the damage it must have received.
Sounds like a great drive home though and amazing just how many enjoyable miles you can drive in a Fulvia in a day, my best to date in my 2c was batting across Central Spain from Salamance to St Jean pied de Port something like 400+miles.
