We say this for every event, lol

Perhaps we should get some name badges...

Interesting

I wonder who it was

Saw a red Coupe at a petrol station whilst driving through Bowburn, didn't catch the plate

There's a very positive write up about the Coupe in this French article - fortunately Chrome translates it fairly well!

France - 1
Greece - 1

Paid up, awaiting confirmation.

I am so pleased that M-AUO is included as part of this trip. Last time I tried to visit it was closed for refurbishment.

So much to see and do in Turin with some great covered shopping arcades and obviously plenty of fine restaurants. Here are a few suggestions of things to do in the free time, but be sure, if you take a tram or bus anywhere, validate your ticket as step on and avoid being fined.


The Fiat Museum - Centro Storico Fiat. It's not too far from the Lingotto and interesting for all things FIAT.

There is an old rack railway that takes you up to the Basilica of Superga. A fantastic building and it offers fantastic views over the city.

The Mole Antonelliana / Cinema Museum, in the city, is interesting but that glass elevator is far from great if you are not a fan of heights!

During the 20th anniversary event club member Antony (Boosted7) and his Father had arranged a trip to an abandoned city centre railway station. I don't know how they arranged it but it was certainly very interesting.

If you fancy something a little different, it is possible to seek out Italian Job filming locations. It took a long time for Trish to catch on that's what we are doing, which amused Adam and me.

True, but before that it states:

Saturday 15 June

08.30 am Departure for parking at Lingotto Park and subsequent visit to the Automobile Museum (MAuto)

09.30 am Meeting at Lingotto Park in via Nizza 294 and transfer on foot to MAuto in Corso Unità d'Italia 40

10.00 am Visit to MAuto (about 2 hours)

12.30 pm Transfer to the city center by subway for lunch on your own and possible visits to museums...


Lingotto Park is on the southern side of the city and just within the LEZ but the route migth be to skirt around the zone and enter it along a permitted route to Lingotto. It will be important for us to stick to the advice we are given.

Thanks for the early reply Warren.
That’s very interesting: I’ve always wanted to know about them and how they drive but of course don’t know anybody with one! So I do look forward to catching up. Cheers. T

Hi Terry, no worries and likewise. I know your car and have seen it a couple of times now, nearest thing to a new Coupe I've seen for a long long time.

My Spider is a Rosso Red P reg. Twin Spark Phase 1 Spider, normally 2 of us turn up with very similar cars...mine is P295***. I have bizarrely never been a fan of the V6 GTV, I've back to backed Coupes' vs a couple including a fully sorted V6 Cup a friend owned and I'd always pick the Fiat if I wanted a roof.....the V6 Spider is even worse to drive.

I always wanted to do a nut and bolt resto on a car and the Spider I've got was the the ideal candidate at the right time, turned out really nicely but took me far too long. My only regret is a friend's long term owned Electric Blue 20VT Plus came up after an inspection by Joe CC revealed it needed 10K plus worth of work on it, he offered it to me as a cheap project but alas I was about a year into my resto by then. It ended up being broken, now that would have been a keeper and I know I could have made it into something really nice.

Speak at Alton, all the best Warren.
