I'll be there, sporting a 24" PH banner obviously.
Just wondering if anybody else is going that we could possibly meet up with.

[OlberJ]

Aye, keep an eye out for the car mate, Black Mk1 Mr2 with a nice soundtrack, will be the old boy driving it though, i stay in Durham.

I also have the misfortune to live nearby, so will probably nip down....does anyone know who to contact to get a car into the display area? Would bring the Ferrari but no point if I have to park it the public car park.

Hi

Last ear went and traffic was qued up from middle of hamilton all way up and turned around, but that was about mid day

Display area is not secure - you get all the chavs walking right amongst the cars.

I was at this last year with ScottishVAG but can't make it this year.

I remember one guys car getting keyed a few years ago when I was there with SS-R but I think there may have been history behind that!

Don't think you can just turn up and get in, we had to send our details away weeks ago to get passes, but they may make an exception for quality metal?!

For the classic/expensive stuff as well its on the grass to so if it rains your snookered.

You can just turn up, its £4 for entry per car but if your cars on display with a stand you need a pass and you would need to contact a group for that. Im heading down with FiestaClubScotland so will be on show with them. We're meeting down at Asda in Hamilton at half 9 in the morning to get everything sorted but theres a few bunches of people down there meeting up so i'm sure you could tag along with them.

And tbh, wheres secure these days ?

[paulqv]

i checked with organisers yesterday and they said it was full and couldnt allow any other cars in!
I understand there are no Itlalian car clubs going? Or groups of Italain cars?
If anyone knows differently then please let me know?
If anyone has a couple of spare passes could they let me know?

So what kind of show is it then? Some kind of fast and modified affair is it?

I'm sure theres an Alfa enthusiast club going but I'm not sure, just word of mouth tbh.
You get the passes via the club you go with as i've got my pass for FiestaClubScotland.

[Reidy10_0]

I will possibly drop in.

[paulqv]

Hi

Thanks for advice and thoughts though.

Gonne pop down myself as it's just down the road for me too. I'm gonna park in the rail station and walk over as it can be a mega hassle if it rains. A few cars got stuck last year.

AlfaOwner has lots of folk going and tried to get a space, but were told it was too late.....so didn't cancel.

We might be there in public car park area anyway!

Good idea or get the train.

I gather from another forum that the local rag - Hamilton Advertiser - has this event as 'cancelled due to weather'?
