Autoitalia Day @ Brooklands: 30-04-11

[Seasider]

Sounds like as its the 25th anniversary it's going to spill over into Merc World too

[rick_1.7_16v]

do we know what sort of time will it start and finish? cheers

[Seasider]

Rick it's normally an early-ish start. Last year we met at the Supermarket next to Brooklands because all the clubs had to go in via the back entrance past Merc World

As to finish ... depends on when you get bored ... from previous years I think it's about 4-5pm that most people start to leave

[rick_1.7_16v]

cheers. some time as last year then, that is gd to me. has i need to be at work bye 5pm
see u guys there

[chubblows]

Will be bringing my 156 and other half maybe bringing her 147. hopefully a good day. see u all there

From my source at Brooklands Museum it looks as though Alfa may be 'off site' in the museum car park (still part of the event as it would be closed to all other cars). They have lost a lot of space this year due to Cobham bus museum building a hanger there.

[Biscione]

I'll most likely come to this!!

[Seasider]

Anyone know where us mere mortals have to park?

[chubblows]

Follow the link to the brooklands website shop. It tells you on there which entrance to use depending on what you drive.
Shop - Auto Italia Advance Tickets - Brooklands Museum Shop

Also...any alfa owners from kent intersted in meeting at maidstone services on M20 if going and any others at clackets on M25 ?

[tom17]

Hey chubblows, I'll meet you at Maidstone services

[Gaz]

ignorant northerner alert which convoy do i join if im coming from chelmsford?

[Mr Dog]

Either or, really Gaz. Clackets is a little closer but they're both about the same distance from Chelmsford.
Take your pick. You can either convoy up with Cas or myself.

[Gaz]

Ta Nick

Will decide closer to the day then

[JonSpiderMan]

Ok just trying to get an update from Autoitalia. As soon as I know more I'll post it up in event. But We will probably meet at Tesco's again and then go in a group.

yeah sounds good, see you there, cas, flapdog Maidstone 7am then on to clackets ??

[Seasider]

Gaz if you're going from Chelms I'd go clockwise over the bridge to clackets it's the way we've always gone in the past.

Still not too sure how I'm getting there yet.

[Gaz]

Cheers Ian, how much is it to cross Dartford these days? Assuming there's still a toll

They call it a congestion charge now

Between 22.00 and 6.00 it's free rest of the time it's £1.50 for cars

[Gaz]

Congestion charge

Cheers Nige, is it a bridge or tunnel?

Both

Bridge Essex into Kent

Tunnel back Kent into Essex

[Seasider]

Gaz also theres roadworks on the m25 at the moment between m11 and a127, 50mph average speed cameras

But still easier to do a12/m25 rather than a130/a13/m25

[Anjenha]

Pre booking is open.... Are we doing this or will it confuse things
