Autoitalia Concours at Stanford Hall: 07-06-09

[JonSpiderMan]

Should be a good one this..

Thoroughly enjoyed last years - nice place and nice scenery some lovely cars , and good to get the regions together as well even if Al tried to set fire to the place

[green cloverleaf pat]

i went last year and it was very good as im sure this year will be also and on the plus side for me i will be in my white sud ti.
is there parking for the suds together or do you park anywhere.

[ACAPULCO AL]

i'll be there - i love auto italia day

[zulu ferret]

Brings back a memory of two does this. Just been looking through an old copy of Italian Cars, Sports and classics, which I believe was the forerunner of Auto Italia? I seem to remember attending the first event held at Stanford Hall, but cannot remember the year? Anyone? I may shake these old bones up a bit and do a left at Norman Cross if I am 'fighting fit' on the day.

[Mr Dunamis]

Looking forward to this, fire blanket and extinguisher at the ready!

How does the concours work then? Silly question though

[JonSpiderMan]

There'll be seperate sections for AROC, and FIAT the cars will be judged during the day and the winner for each class shown in the afternoon. Mainly classics although GTV's were judged last year.

As for concours it's judged on the originality and the condition of the car, it must be 100% unmodified, they even go down to screw level in some cases.

To check, will our cars be in an alfa display area or a general car park?

As with brooklands All italian cars will be allowed to park on display at the lawn approaching Stanford Hall, non italian cars will park somewhere else.

We don't have a designated area for AO at Stanford Hall.. nor does AROC as far as I'm aware apart from those taking part in the concours.. hence why we're getting the regions together at a meet point outside so that we can drive in and park together.

good stuff

[JonSpiderMan]

Not so subtle bump!

[Seasider]

looking forward to this ...

[Gaz]

il see what plans are closer to the time, looks like it will be a busy weekend for me so far

[ACAPULCO AL]

so where's our muster point then? i reckon the travelodge up the road where we met last year is as good a place as any

any idea what time the gates open at stamford hall?

[JonSpiderMan]

Sounds like a plan apparently gates open at 10am so we should aim to meet at 10-10.30 at the travelodge and head in.

[ACAPULCO AL]

OK let's run with that - meet there at 10 with a view to leaving there 10.30 sharp? should get us queueing up on the stamford hall approach about 10.40am
