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.

As Gentari said, a very big thanks to Paul and the Guys at Avanti for a great day, it really made an impression on me (and on my 147 when I reversed into the door post when leaving) Luckily the only damage done was to my pride.

After playing with Paul's iphone, (although not in a toilet) I can vouch it is a fantastic gadget.

Re: NEW NEW - Meet the Experts 24 November

Indeed (iPhone) it is - the more I use it the more I look at other 'phones which are technically far superior and realise intuitive ease of use, decent internet, email, text and voice + a usable on screen keyboard are all I really need.

I'll post full details of the meet tomorrow - just got in - had a few G&Ts and don't want to do less than justice to a great day.

Paul.

Re: NEW NEW - Meet the Experts 24 November

I have to hang my head in shame for not attending. I had to go into a music studio for the whole of Saturday and didn't manage to get away until after 6!
