Manchester - Trafford Centre Meet

Righty well some of you may have seen my pictures from a Trafford Centre meet I have been on with a good friend who owns a Stilo and a second meet with an additional Alfa.

Pictures here:


When The Alfa met the Stilo


Alfa 2 Stilo 1

Now we have decided to try and make the meet a bit bigger and would like to invate all you other Alfa owners along. There will be more Fiat's going too by the way!

The idea is to meet up at the Trafford Centre on the 30th March (Monday) at about 7.30pm in the underground part of the Peel Avenue car park number 4. Usually by staircase 14 (I think). In the past we have spent an hour or so taking pictures then off up to the pub for a non-alcoholic beverage!

So ask any questions you like, but it would be really good to get some more Alfa's along!

Were going to aim to make this a regular meet, and hopefully come summer time, when theres light in the evening, move outside for some sunny (hopefully!) pictures!

    Looks like I may have to wash the car on Sunday again! Not sure if I can make it yet but would be good to have a look at other 156s.

    Only trouble is: I made it a lifetime ambition never to go to the Trafford Centre, and absolutely not with the missus!

Im not sure how flexible we can be, we are opening this up to other Stilo's and Fiat's so I think for the sake of everyone were going to keep it fixed to one date!

Just to see how everything goes initially!

Is this an underground meet then?
Do we need to know the secret handshake and winks sequence?

Lol, technically it is an underground meet but there are no secret handshakes to worry about!

Again technically the Stilo is a pale green and johnnygal's 156 is grey! More car's, more colour's the better!

Would be great to see you both there!

Sounds like fun, but I'll probably have to convince my girlfriend to come along and send her shopping in the TC
