Thank you to everyone for a great day good to see some old faces and some new.

It's a shame I can't make it to mitcar but I will be back to this next year.

See you all again soon :slayer:
 
Well holy moly, if that wasn't out greatest event ever.... amazing turn out, amazing weather and everyone managed to park where they were supposed to.

Who says we can't get things organised! :D

A MASSIVE thank you to everyone who came along to support us, with special mentions to the mods and the events team who turned up Saturday evening to help put up the marquee - and also worked hard on the day to make sure everything was in order.

Alex has taken some cracking shots, which I'll get in the gallery later after he's mailed them to me, so we've got memories forever.

Boy was it hot eh, we went through our entire soda supply - which Stu and I had thought would last until Mitcar - must have been over 200 cans drunk today - funnily enough, the coffee and tea wasn't so popular this time ;)

I'm exhausted, but so chuffed - this is a great memory for me to take back with me to Asia and really gets me fired up for next year. I'd love to say we'll be even bigger and better, but to be honest, I think we might have reached the sky already .... it will take some pretty out the box thinking to top us now :D

Of course, if anyone has any ideas, criticisms or whatever, we would love to hear them - especially if it's something we could get sorted out in time for Mitcar next month :)

Great to see my old friends - and really nice to meet some new ones, you're all welcome to crash in my pad any time you're over (y)

Gallery is up now, so please get uploading - and no excuses like "already on facebook, see there...." :p We especially want people shots, to go in the relevant sub gallery.

So from me, it's once more - a thanks so much for supporting the forum, and I hope I'll be seeing you all next year - but for everyone else, remember we've got Mitcar on the 18th of August - which will be an absolute blast!

謝謝大家,明年見! Ben :)

Awesome! I count 62 people in that group photo!! Once the dropbox is done, I'll grab the full size ones off and get them up - thanks Alex! :D

Edit: I should also say, the roof photo we took in the early part of the morning as we were worried the stand might get a bit disorganised later on, however, if we'd waited an hour or so, you would have seen two more perfect lines of cars as well...
 
Thanks everyone for the organisation & refreshments. A bit too hot this year if I could be picky....... ;)

Special thanks to Stu DemonD for the hot food.

Some Panda's for you all - in the gallery too. Sorry only Panda's :D I'm amazed how clear the panoramic ones are when you click on them full size - it's only a phone :eek:

What a day. I thought last year was great even with the weather, but this year was just amazing. From my part, i just want to thank everyone who met at Tesco who managed to keep an organised (race free) drive to from meeting point to the show. Previous events instructions, plans and what is said is/has been ignored (MITCar 2012) and turned into mayhem. This went smoothly, and this made it sooooo much easier.

Was great to put names to new faces, and great to meet up with old faces again. Some great cars, great people and even better weather. Only downer for me, i'm really burnt.

I look forward to MITCar. I hope to see many of you again there

James.
 
Today was my first trip to Auto Italia as a member of the Fiat Forum. I felt very welcome and it was the most amazing day. It was lovely to be able to talk to people who are equally mad about their Cinks!!!
Thanks for a great time.
 
Anyone know the guy with the helicopter camera thing?

He'll have some photos of ben and I on the roof fearing for our lives.
Speak for for yourself :p If that guy would have moved the trampoline closer to the house, I'd have so been up for taking the quick route down :D
 
What a fantastic day.Warm weather to go with the warm welcome that my family and I received at Stanford Hall this year. Lots of stunning cars and many friendly faces too. I'd like to start by saying a big thank you to the chap that came to the rescue with some cleaning equipment that took the Kamikazi flies off the front of my Panda (sorry I did'nt get your name but I think it may have been Andy) so thank you so much for everything today, not forgetting the chap that very kindly put a Fiat Forum sticker on my rear screen for me too. The day was just perfect in every way.:DThe only bad bit is the fact that we all got sun burnt.(n)
 
ben can you post the time-lapse video of the marquee going up somewhere, or link me up if its already online somewhere.... i was thinking we should have done another time-lapse of the cars turning up too... maybe next time.

great day, had a proper giggle comparing the group photo from last year to this year on the ff facebook page, huge turnout - and our stand was clearly the best :D
 
It was a great show but very very warm. The Fiat forum had some great cars parked up. Unfortunately I only spotted one 100HP I was expecting more. The cars at the rest of the show were scattered around a bit but there were some beautiful exotics on display. I was parked right at the bottom for some reason. Next year I might ask if I can park on the Fiat forum site to get closer.

I'm going to do a proper one when I get home - then it will go up on FIATForum.TV :D
