Bristol Italian Auto Motor Festival: 25-04-09

[Scrumpy]

Folks,
Please remember that all car entries must be pre-booked.
Marshals needed: We need to rely on a good team of willing marshals to help on the day. Without them the Festival cannot be held. Marshals must be able to report for duty at 06.45 am on the day of the Festival and be able to work until about 10.30 am and again from 3.45 pm until about 4.30 pm. Duties will include: checking entrants in at the entry points, guiding cars into display positions and using ramps to get cars up the kerbs. At the end of the Festival the marshals will assist entrants to safely leave the Festival streets, including using ramps to get the cars off the pavements. During the Festival you may be needed at certain times to help monitor an area but of course you can do this while you look at the cars and bikes. Please let me know if you will be able to help us with marshalling when you Email your entry. Being a marshal has the added benefit that because of the early arrival, your car gets a good display position.
The event has a dedicated website - BIAMF

PS many thanks to the people who took the pictures on our website - Stuart in particular! (Great work getting the Mayor to asy "Cheese")!

Well done Frankie

all sorted spoke to paul and got my place...excited now...

[Dibby]

I'll be there as a spectator. A diesel 147 isn't really anything special enough to be a show car

[SPPalfa]

There was only a single 147 there last year.

[Dibby]

IMO the show is there to show off something special and a 147 doesn't really cut the mustard against Ferraris, De Tomasos, Lambos and the Zonda. GTAs are pretty special but a pre-facelift 147 Lusso?

And when they all sit there and rev the engines, the tell-tale clatter of a cold diesel ringing out won't exactly be music to the ears of the public.

That is true but you dont need to rev your engine mate - just go listen to the Lambos etc.

Its Italian and therefore not out of place in my humble opinion.

I plan to attend this one as it looked fantastic last year ! if you want to show your car how do you get a permit and are you committed to stay parked up for the whole day? i only ask as i'm coming from Sussex! if not showing what's the deal on nearby parking?
Thanks in advance

[gtv darren]

id like to come but not sure about showing my car off against those other fantastic cars / bikes

[SPPalfa]

Guys you do need a permit to park up at the show and you will need to stay from 9.30 until 4pm - so not to bad.

E-mail Paul for a permit - biamf@ourhemanpal.co.uk or 0117 947 5814

There are plenty of multi story car parks close bye.

Darren - give it a valet and get the thing on show mate all cars are welcome and the more the better & zoe yellow is a rare colour so it will attract some attention.

will you be topless

[SPPalfa]

I will be showing mine and I will be topless providing the weather is ok.

There is no time limit just a set number of spaces and once they have been taken you go on a reserve list.

I would get your permit early and if you cant attend just cancel with Paul.
