Just looking around and saw this was on. Anyone going? :

Lancia will be the Featured Marque at next year's Bristol Italian Auto Moto Festival to mark the 30th anniversary of the introduction of the original Delta model.
The organisers are working with the Lancia Motor Club to feature a wide range of Lancias of all ages to make this a most memorable show.
Once again there will be wide ranging displays of Italian cars and bikes of all marques and ages to set the Italianesque 'Old City' streets alive with Italian chic and design flair.
All car entries must be pre booked (with full name, address, phone & mobile numbers and vehicle details - marque, model, year, reg. no.) to: biamf@ourhemanpal.co.uk or 0117 947 5814. If using a transporter vehicle please advise as it will also need a pass.
Why not make a note in your diary to come on down and take part in the best free Italian vehicle festival in the country? This event makes for a grand day out just looking at all the exciting cars and bikes on display, chatting with the owners and making new friends. The City's shopping centre and markets are nearby and worth a browse too. Also nearby, the historic harbour is lined with attractions, museums, historic boats and ships including Brunel’s ‘SS Great Britain’ and a replica of John Cabot’s ship the Matthew. (A little known fact - in the year 1497, the Bristol-based Cabot sailed in the original Matthew to reach the North American mainland before Columbus!)

My Mrs will be doing some interviews as part of a promo video for next years event.
If you see her (being followed around by a tv camera) go over and say hi.

Cheers,

A few of us will be meeting at the Avenue Cafe in Queen Square in our classics and sports cars from 9am onwards before having a look around the cars in Corn Street if anyone fancies it.

Yeh, yeh

Your Mrs would be

furious
mad
shoot
rage
smash

Mate

(though I have to say, in allowing you to attend Cheddar when she could drop any day was the act of great humanity!)

Fantastic day, I now have a new message alert tone courtesy of a 360cs exhaust (ears still ringing!)

Some of the classics were just soooo beautiful words fail me

Found myself having a quiet word with a guy saw leaning all over Jan's superleggera, stating that was 150k+ of someone elses property, perhaps he ought to have a little more respect?

Exactly as last year, some peoples total lack of regard for the cars when so many had given up their time to show us their nice cars and (in most cases!) spent time polishing them up, did annoy me
