NEW NEW - Meet the Experts 24 November

24-11-2007
The event postponed last month has now been re-arranged for Saturday 24 November at 12.00.

To recap. Avanti Autos in Ipswich - our local indie specialist will be emptying their workshop on this day and given an exclusive invitation to Alfaowner members to come along and have a look round - see the inner workings of a TS engine like yours. Marvel at GTV6s awaiting restoration. MORE - have your car put on an examiner and find out what's wrong with it (if you dare). Ask all of the questions you want. ALL FOR FREE. (Obviously they will not carry out free repairs).

This is an exceptionally generous offer and afterwards I suggest that we take them for a meal/drink.

They are Mario and Paul the owners and possibly Jay their apprentice. Mario was atrainer for Alfa UK and Paul a qualified Alfa Technician.

This is going to be a popular event so please RSVP - if I have to limit numbers it will be first come first served.

Go on - be there.

Re: NEW NEW - Meet the Experts 24 November

I am taking my GTV to Avanti on Tuesday for new front wishbones, droplinks and brake pads.

When I am there we will finalise the arrangements for Saturday. There will be a competion - you could win a really decent prize just for turning up in a well presented car.

I still think that this is a fantastic opportunity to get some inside info. We will also meet some AROC members and get to learn of their events over the next year - we can invite each other to our respective meets.

This IS a great opportunity - come along - apart from the boring shopping what else have you got planned for next Saturday?

COME ON - RSVP right now.

Paul.

Re: NEW NEW - Meet the Experts 24 November

FINAL CALL

If you haven't RSVP'd - do so NOW.

You really do not want to miss this - as well as getting to meet people and finding out about your car there will be a PRIZE DRAW and COMPETITIONS relating to your car - "What?" I hear you say - If you come along you will find out.

There are even rumours of food - blimey - apart from paying you how could this get any better?

Seriously if you can make it it will be good to see you.

Paul.

You could get someone to drive you.

Nah - sorry to hear that you are not well - there's always next time.

Hope you feel better soon.

Re: NEW NEW - Meet the Experts 24 November

Hi Mac,

Sorry to hear that - if you can manage to come along it will be good to see you.

Hope your wife gets better soon - did she have the keyhole surgery? Liz had her gall bladder removed nearly 30 years ago - it was a large operation then.

Paul.
