    Re: All Italian Car Meet

    Sorry you couldnt make it Paul but we had a good meeting with a variety of interesting Italian cars - although we were a bit light on the Lambos. On the plus side there were countless Alfas and I even saw a little Fiat Topolino painted in noddy car colours, but the driver disappointingly wasnt wearing a red pointed hat with a bell on the end! There was just one Fiat X19 which managed to leave with door handles and roof clips intact.

    So we managed to round up 3 worthies in addition to Mark and myself - so thanks to :
    Gary (Birdman) Bird and his good lady wife Deborah . (Gary is on track for one of the fastest LB Builds yet),
    Graham Halstead (GrahamH ) - who as an engineer at McLaren Cars is very interesting on all manor of Formula 1 stuff as well as re-building a Hawk and
    Steve Pratt who as an engineer and rally enthusiast is building a motorsport LB .

    It was a useful session and we were so busy talking to each other that we didnt get much of a chance to walk around and look at the other hardware. We will definitely arrange further sessions and Paul's suggestion of a regular meet would be a good idea. Any other thoughts on this?

    So thanks to everyone who came - and until next time !

    Peter

    It was great to meet all you Guys.

    Nothing like a good old chin wag to get those creative juices going and can only serve to bolster enthusiasm for our own build projects.

    Very impressed with your Stratos Mark and thank you for your patience with my numerous technical questions relating to your build.

    Deborah wishes to apologise for not contributing to the discussions regarding the Stratos. She said she didn't want to embarrass you all with her extensive knowledge on the subject ;-)

    Yes, pencil me in for future meetings with the southern contingent.

    Gary
