Hi all, I'm in need of a few examples of our beloved cars for us to show to the general pubic in Horsham, West Sussex on Easter Monday 5th April 11am-4pm ish. A convoy for the town centre will be leaving at 11.30am. Click on the link below for details. http://www.visithorsham.co.uk/piazza-italia/ I went to this event last year as it's my home town and it was good fun especially the car part There is an Italian market and Italian events on all weekend culminating in a convoy of Italian cars, Ferrari's, Masetrati's, Lamborghini's, Zonda, Alfa's and some Fiat 500's, BUT no coupe's! There was even a Koenigsegg, not very Italian, but nice to gawp at So I thought I'd better do something about it. So I've been in contact with the organisers and they said we could have up to 10 Coupes of various models, that are show worthy. The rest is up to you guys Please PM me if your interested in coming along and I can give you further details as they come through. Obviously I'll be there, but I don't want to be "Billy no mates!" So here's the list so far: Pondman - Vinci Grey LE

I might be interested, but only if I can get my Coupe show worthy in time. I'm due to have the front bumper repaired and resprayed, a crease in the rear-quarter pulled out plus a couple of other bits.

It's not a million miles away from me, so another yellow one.
16VT and X1/9 1500
We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

So here's the list so far: Pondman - Vinci Grey LE MrT - Electric Blue Plus Samsite999 - Yellow 20vt with LE kit + gloss black roof (Custom) Petep - Yellow 16VT (Custom) As for the condition of our cars, I'll leave it up to you As long as they are clean and tidy ie. no external damage to panels, good paintwork a reasonably tidy engine bay & cleaned throughout, as far as I'm concerned that's good enough for me if we want to be invited back again. It'll be the publc that judge whether they want to have a look at our pride & joys. there are no prizes, unless the management wish to supply any for the best turned out specimen . If possible I'd like to see an even balance betweeen customised cars and standard modles, but if we get 10 that would be good for both club and I.

Thanks for all considerations of coming I realise this is a long way for some people and I do appriciate that some already offering to participate will be traveling a fair distance to this meet, we hope that the weather will do us all a favour It seems to me though that the Coupe is thinner on the ground down in this area than most all the more reason to show people what they're missing Thanks for all thoughts so far, Ross.

Apart from the distance, I've slightly knobbled the front corner of mine, and although not earth-shatteringly bad, it needs doing before I could call it it show-worthy

Ooh, I'm down the bank holiday weekend, my folks live in Worthing so a short jaunt up. Drivers side door has a light scratch on it right now, unlikely to be fixed before then, but other than that she's in good shape. Do you want us? I'll bring the wax down wth me if you can live with the scratch, which may come out a bit after a good wax anyway. Let me know Dan, 20vt Portofino Blue

H just happened to be the cheapest 20VTP plate available so I bought it, unfortunately most people thought I worked for Southern Water and kept asking me why I have H20 on my car. I just got pissed off with all the water questions I liked: C20VTP, Coupe 20VTP F20VTP, Fiat 20VTP in the end, I liked C20VTP the best. What's the HT at the end of your plate?

Ouch ... I had a bad premonition today about taking the car over to Southampton city centre. parked it on the top of multi-storey where no one was around. Felt happy all day car was perfectly safe, came back and started to reverse it out, there was a pole behind which I was careful of and then didn't see a very low bit of jutting out concrete at the front of the car as I edged forward.. hence, shattered the right hand side front lip it's going to the bodyshop on Monday morning and also to have a small faint scratch repaired on the rear (not in my ownership). £200 to repair and respray the front lip. 2-3 days repair time but it will take 4 days given the bank holiday week. The bodyshop was recommended to me and the guy said it will look perfect, apparently it had been damaged before as there was bodyfiller in there and wasn't a good repair (I had no idea!) so if the car is not sorted by Thursday then unfortunately I will have to miss this event

Duncan Ohh no!, is this cause you wont have the car back or because a you think a damaged front lip is too much to bear? I'm sure you could say it happened on the way over . We'll all understand. It's just sod's law..... I hope it does get sorted in time, it would be a shame to miss out, if you don't manage to get it rectofied, I recon you could still get away with it, one of mine has a split in it due to preious damage, not under my ownership though. See how it goes and keep in touch. Everyone else still OK? So here's the list: Pondman - Vinci Grey LE 20vt MrT - Electric Blue Plus 20vt Samsite999 - Yellow 20vt (Custom) Petep - Yellow 16VT (Custom) jonjefferyes - Blitz Blue 16v Hovedan - Potofino 20vt (custom) duncan78 - Moon Grey Plus 20vt (awaiting repair )

Just to put everyones minds at rest, my car has got little (and some not so little) dinks all over it, so it's by no means a "show car" that doesn't mean I can't show it off, at the end of the day it's not a mollycoddled piece of conspicuous consumption, it's used and fairly often abused and thoroughly enjoyed. So stop worrying that your cars aren't pristine and come along and enjoy the day!!! I'll get off my soap box now

I'll get off my soap box now I'll second that...mine's a working car - 5000 miles last month -- so carries it's scars with pride! It's still a coupe and that makes it worthwhile showing Jon

I think, all of the cars being put forward to be shown are daily or at least regular drives. So don't get too hung up on wear and tear, it just shows we still love driving them and can, on a day to day basis. Were also keen to show the rest of the general pubic what they're missing out on Hope everyones got their polishing clothes at the ready? Just to let you know that there is a car wash (don't crusify me ) or a tap at the Shell station next door to the meeting point if you need a wash and brush up prior to the rendezvous.

I'll be dropping the car off tomorrow morning and see what they say. they're not working on the bank holiday Friday, I don't know if they are open on the Sat (they normally work 9-12) so really it all depends if they can get the car repaired and I can either collect it on the thursday or saturday. I'll give you an update Ross as to whether i'll be able to get the car at the end of the week otherwise it's likely to be stuck in the bodyshop Dan, send me google maps link so I can see where you mean. I'll be staying in Worthing so don't mind the location, whatever is easier hopefully, this will still be on for me

No, I tried to do the Pycombe one, this is def the one just beyond (south) of the A27 Flyover on the A23. I don't know which brand it is though. I don't fill up there, it's too expensive. I use the ASDA just up at Holllingbury just off the A27 when I'm in the area. Gald to see it's sorted though

Hi All, Just an Official Event update: Arrival at Hop Oast Park and Ride as per link 11.15 - 11.30am Leave in convoy to Horshan Town Centre with all other makes at 11.45am - Grouped by make and model Enter the Carfax for about 12.00 - park up probably in the central area (T.B.D.) if were lucky next to the Super Cars, who knows? Maybe just wishful thinking. Leave the cars parked up till 3pm and enjoy the festival of Italia. If you can make it to the area an hour earlier for 10.30 all the Alfa boys will be meeting up at Rusper Alfa and surrounding parking + the Star Pub car park. If you don't think you'll make it in time, please don't get lost, just head for Hop Oast and we'll meet you there. I'll be leaving to meet you there for 11.15am. I hope the weather lets up to give us a chance to clean our cars Here's hoping Thanks all and I'll see you on Monday, Regards, Ross. P.S. If you need to contact me on the day my mobile is: 07767 385001

That's a shame Sam, we were all looking forward to seeing you and the "Bee" Yellafella, glad to have you onboard More the merrier, get in contact with the other guys meeting at the petrol station on the edge of Brighton and join their mini convoy As for the quickest route, go all the way up the A23 to Pease Pottage and take the A264 turn off, follow thw A264 down the hill going over over a mini/medium round about, turn left at the bottom towards Horsham on A264, at the next R.about (Faygate) take 3rd exit to Faygate/Rusper, mind the road humps I can get over them on Eibachs, and follow the road and signs till you reach Rusper. The Star pub will be on your left, their wil be parking in their car park and the surrounding road. Please note this is a busy bit of road and parking will be an issue! So please park consideratly There were over 50 Alfas up there last year, and it caused gridlock! So be warned. Hope all goes well this weekend and I'll see you all soon

Spoke to the bodyshop this afternoon. apparently the coop has been repaired and sprayed and the scratch at the rear polished out. Picking up on the car on saturday, so as long as they haven't botched it up and i've got a lip half moon grey and half vinci grey then it's looking good for the event I'm up for 10am too, will confirm once I've seen the car.

Phew, just got back to Bristol now. Second the comments about a very enjoyable day out and great to put faces to names/coupes.
Thanks Ross for the organising, Duncan for the borrow of cleaning products, and Rich for the distilled water for my coolant. Was glad for the humuliation of seeing the sparkling polished engine bays of Ross and Rich compared to my oily mess of a bay in the end. The burning smell didn't make a reappearance in my drive home!
Was also nice to be made an offer for my car, who pointed the chap in my direction when I was having a crafty drink in the pub we'd parked outside?! Nice to know someone else appreciates her, not that I wanted to sell?!
Hope I didn't offend the owner of one of the Lambo Gallardo's when I heard he'd covered 200 miles in the year he's owned it. Think I said something along the lines of what's the point if you don't enjoy it, you don't know it and it doesn't know you!
Look forward to Brooklands in May, may see some of you there.
