There's one other Dave in the picture next to yours on their page, looks like a Sprint Blue behind the two 156's

Wait, it's a Porto Blue...and the driver's got a red T shirt on...oh, that's me again!

Also spotted a red Fiat Coupe there too, but shouldn't give the game away and spoil it by saying where. Wish it was mine...

I missed last year so would like to go this year. Hope the weather looks after us

i will be up for coming. do i need to email brooklands asking for permissison for track/hill time?

No need to email Brooklands, it is something that the club arranges with AutoItalia.

Things have yet to be finalised, but in addition to the usual 3 or 4 coupes going on the MB world track we will be running a demonstration of coupes round the track.

I will give more info when the details are finalised - expect 10 or 12 coupes to run.

Hill time is pretty well unlimited numbers.

I'd like to come this year. What is the deal, do we all park in the same spot? What is the track deal, just a tame convey or anything else?

Thanks

yes we all park in the same spot and if someone is coming from your area then arrange a convoy with them as people will be coming from all directions , track is a pick on the day for those that haven't done it before so Ross you have no hope nor me

This is turning out to be some kind of Coupe mega meet !

We've seen over fifty coupes on previous occasions.

(Just ordered tickets).

A few have rusted away since then I wager.

There were 50 or so Coupes there last year, so I hope not too many have fallen by the wayside since.

its the best autoitalia meet of the year , always good weather and company too .

All that's missing is a rooftop test track and Chris Bangle. Oh, and a few thousand Italians.

...and the police motorcycle escort along the M25, A3 and through the streets to Brooklands

mercades test track , chris evens and there will be enough Italians there too

Count me in, will be good to meet some fellow Coupe owners!

Who's travelling M4, maybe we can organise a meet on route?

What time are people planning to arrive? I was thinking of going down the night before.

You need to be there before 9:30 to avoid possible queues at the gate, I think earliest for display cars is 8:30.

There is a designated gate for Italian cars: The entrance off Caenswood Hill (B374)

Best time and area for an AGM then

My tickets are on their way too

+1

I've always thought this would be a perfect event and time of the year.

Ordered my tickets this morning.

It's to early in the financial year for the agm but let hope it's closer to London as that's where most come from who attend .

New discs, pads, clutch, belts... and engine (thanks Joe). And maybe even a reconditioned roof rack. I'm in.

As it is just after the close of the previous year. Could not the forward planning of the coming year be shifted and the previous years discussed?
Just a thought?

The fact is under the club rules AGMs have to be late summer / autumn.

Many of the people who attend AutoItalia in coupes are not club members in any case, and on the day there is simply too much to do than spend a couple of hours inside away from the action.

Of course there is always Sunday following the event, but most folks will have gone home anyway.

Much as it would suit me to have an AGM 20 miles from home, it is much fairer on all members if they be held in the midlands.

Club members please feel free to continue this discussion in the members area though and lets keep this thread about the 2015 AutoItalia meet.

OK now some admin work about this years event.

I've listed those who asked for track time, who has not previously had a go?

1. Nismo
2. Pault69
3. Barnacle
4. Pondman
5. Submariner
6. Serg1

13. Thunderbox Demo laps
14. MrC
15. arm
16. Idac
17. Doberman
18. SpeakyD Demo laps.
19. PeteP Demo laps.

As normal we will give preference to club members.

I expect we will get 4 places in the usual track sessions and I we should get 10-12 in the demo parade before the main track sessions.

For entry into any of the events on track or on the Test Hill all drivers will need to produce their driving licences to Brooklands Museum officials, so don't forget to bring them with you.

For the Demo parade we need to get a good mix of types and colours, Ideally at least one of each model: 16V, 16VT, 20V, 20VT, 20LE, 20Vis 20VTPlus. AutoItalia will need to be able to create an article around it.

If you want to take part in the Demo parade then please add your name to the list showing what you would like to bring;

Please cut and paste the list.

1. PeteP 16VT Yellow 1995
2.
3.
etc.

There will also be a competition open to all coupes, which be judged by Phil Ward, the editor of AutoItalia Magazine.

The main prize will be one of the 1/18th scale model coupes donated by the club.

1. PeteP 16VT Yellow 1995
2. SpeakeyD 20v VIS Electric Blue 2000

I've not had a go, will be my first AutoItalia. How much is membership... a tenner? Sign me up !!!

I'll happily join in the parade if the sight of a sprinty on plastidipped wheels isn't deemed such a horrible sight to behold

I don't think I will have my car back from the body shop in time for this meet as I don't want to rush them to finish the job just for this meet so you can take me off the list and I have also done the demo laps before so best let someone else have ago .

Pete, Much more keen on this than track time, I understand either way if I don't qualify as I did the track last year and/or there may be better examples of 20VT+ on the day. Just putting my hat in the ring!

Yep, Thanks all.

There is a hitch.

MB world will not allow AutoItalia more than the usual hour on track.

This means that there will only be one session for coupes which will also be shared with Alfa GTVs which also celebrate their 20th UK anniversary this year.

This means that there will only be room for 10 coupes to take part in the parade, (there will only be 10 GTVs as well) with no space for coupes in the other sessions.

As usual we will be giving priority to club members and we also need to field at least one example of each coupe model and showing as many colours as possible.

So in Coupe registration date order this looks like the list we will have to go with.

16VT PeteP Yellow Aug 1995
16V. Barnacle Black Oct 1995

AutoItalia has to register all cars and drivers with Brooklands Museum early next week at the latest.

So they can do so, will each of the people on the above list PM me the following details by Friday PM so I can pass them on to Phil Ward.

Drivers real name, Coupe model and registration number and the month and year registered.

Thanks.

Test Hill

If anyone attending would like to take a run up the Test Hill, please let me know your real names, model coupe and registration number by Friday PM as Brooklands insist on pre-registration this time.
If you are down for the track demo and want to do the Test Hill as well you will still need to register for that separately.

Competition

As previously noted, Phil Ward from AutoItalia Magazine will be looking at our cars and selecting the one which most appeals to him.

The first prize will be one of the excellent 1/18 scale Coupe models made by Otto. The runners up will win some club memorabilia.

This is for everyone who brings a coupe onto our parking area.

EFA Neil.

The one and only one-owner-from-new club-member black 16NA?

The one and only one-owner-from-new club-member-and Widget producer black 16NA thats-had-a-new-engine-and-recent-rerfurb-and-went-to-Turin-last-year.

I think there's only one of those, but you never know...

Keyring, flask or tyre pressure gauge Pete

Tax disc holder surely?

I *knew* there was something I had to remember to bring!

Can you bring a new one for my coffee mug please, I keep having to clean this one

favouritism, had to beg some stickers after you refused me extra

Having lost the last 3 weeks right before the event having to work out in the Middle East instead of fixing my Coupe, I won't be able to bring my normal Coupe along. However, if I bring along a 1/18 scale model which particularly appeals to Phil, perhaps I could win a full size one?

lol

It'll be a full size Sprint Blue so not your colour Dave

I keep getting told I have to wait for next year for a new one

im not a club member but i do have a very old (95) speed red N/A thats lovely and shiney ........ideal for the parade.......just saying thats all ( and ive been to the last three of thse events including the cold wet one the other yr)

I always come back sunburnt from the may autoitalia meet , don't ever remember it being cold and wet .

2012, that year it was dull and blew a cold icy wind all day

lol , must have blank that one out

He's so tight with his goodies !

Send me your details and I will add you to the reserve list. Just in case barnacle has a problem with his car on the day.

Now that would be tough for him after all that care and attention.

I can't hear you, lalalalala...

Right stop that, I don't want anything to jinx the day as I'm there to enjoy myself not spanner on Neil's Coupe!





........ Neil you've got recovery yes

I can't hear *you*, either, lalalala...

So basically, people who've put their name down for track time have now been 'overlooked' in favour of people who put their name down for the parade lap? A bit disappointed as there are clearly people who have already been round the track in previous years! Ah well, enjoy!

As previously said, there was no ordinary track time available for coupes, and as explained club members get priority, (they pay towards keeping the forum going) and we needed to get a mix of all model types for the parade.

You can thank MB for being inflexible regarding the time they would allow AutoItalia on their MB World track.

edit I am every bit as frustrated as you Paul. I don't spend my time saying we have too many places, please cut some of them out!

Thanks for the offer Pete but it's ok

Will there be a meet and convoy at the Ace Cafe the morning of Auto Italia?

I will be at the ace before brooklands so we can meet up with afew others , i'll let you know a time closer to the meet Naf .

I'll be staying local to Brooklands, but I could lie in wait in a lay by or pub car park somewhere to convoy in... if anyone has any suggestions?

There is a large Tesco where other clubs meet up a mile or so from the entrance.

Weirdly that was a place I had looked at on google street view.

Anyone fancy meeting there at 8:15?

Yes I can meet you there then Toby.

I'll be leaving Hemel to come anticlockwise around the M25, starting about half seven or a touch later. Joe may be with me.

Jake and I will be with you on the Friday so I'll bring my brake bleed kit to hopefully sort the kit for the Sunday.

Ta.

I'd like to come along with a chum. I bought my Coupe a couple of weeks ago and am in the process of replacing the cam belt.
If anybody has a set of cam clamps I could borrow for a few days I'd be very grateful.Would like to chat to any members who have worked on Coupes. So far the alternator is dead...one front brake pad has the lining separated from the backing plate....I'm wondering what I might find next...!!!
Hope to see you at Brooklands.

Any chance someone could bring along a laptop?
My airbag light is on
It's worth a bacon butty I'd hope

Ross,
I'll bring mine it's still in the car from today's MoT success!

Thanks Chris,
Glad to hear she passed

Cheers Neil, I'm sure we'll sort it one way or another
It's wierd, the car is on perminant trickle charge, and as soon a MOT time comes around it throws it's airbag light out of it's pram! Fortunately, it was after the test this time around though.

I may have one too. I'm chasing an occasional idle problem, and haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

Spent a few hours refurbing the headlamps. Nothing like a deadline to focus the mind !

Took quite some effort to get rid of the old lacquer.

I've used 600, 800 and 1500 wet n dry paper, then a rain-X headlamp restore kit. Loads of elbow grease, so I ended up using a drill and spinning cloth attachment. SO much quicker.

Sorry guys to jump aboard, Can somone tell me what options I have, or have not, In attending this with my brother in my Coupe?

Can I have prices for what options are ACTUALLY available to us today please??

track, parade, etc etc..

We will do this rather than a Welsh drive as we were doing.

Thanks - Chrissy

All you can do at this stage is go into the meeting Chrissy, and if you let me know your details in the next day or so you will be able to do a couple of runs up the Test Hill.

Admission on the day is £16 per person, more details here.

Reminder

If you are due to take part in the Parade Laps or Test Hill runs you need to take your driving licence with you.

Without it you will not be allowed on the MB World track or the Test Hill.

Just catching up on this thread, and a little suggestion, maybe keep the "track spot" list to the members area of the forum.
Why bother with people putting their names down on the basis of "those who haven't done it before" if they only going to be elbowed out for members that have??

Become a member for just £10, job done!

In a normal year when there are just 3 or 4 spots open for coupes on track with other cars we do try to put members who have not been on the MB World track first.

However this is not a normal year.

As part of the 20th anniversary of the Fiat Coupe in the UK, AutoItalia is prepared to promote the car. Hence why there is a special session for 10 Coupes along with 10 GTVs which are also celebrating 20 years in 2015.

It is important that the club takes the opportunity to show both the paying public at AutoItalia Brooklands, and the magazine as large a selection of models and colours as possible.

This we have done.

The demonstration is not for the benefit of us owners who know what the cars are like, but to promote the model among the wider public.

Next year, when less than half the number of spaces will be available, we will revert to our usual practise of giving MB World virgins a go whenever possible.

As MrC points out, it also helps to be a club member.

Just a thought for anyone who goes to Brooklands Museum more than 3 times a year.

If you take out individual membership of the Brooklands Trust you get free admission to all events apart from premium ones such as AutoItalia where you pay a much reduced rate.

£2 for AutoItalia this year.

The membership subs start off at £33 per year for individual membership. Bit of a no-brainer for me.

. Or a good few hundred actually bothering to turn up to most meets

Weather for Saturday
Getting better by the looks of things

That is not an excuse.

Looks like wet gear then bugger!

Hopefully just a few showers...extra coat of wax for better beading.

I'll be turning up with my car (and son) and I imagine that we will all be parking together. I'll be travelling to the event independently and was wondering if there a defined location for the park-up? I see that the best time to arrive would be around 9am to miss traffic etc.
Thanks and see you there

The marshals will send everyone to our parking area when they arrive Mark. We will be put all together.

I don't know just where we will be though.

Okay, thanks for the info.

Looks like dry weather tomorrow !!!

Excellent

If anyone needs anything bringing in the way of spares, no to a bonnet, door before you ask give me a shout as I'l be leaving for Neil's at 3pm today.

Car is loaded up now. Flags, new 20th Anniversary Flags, chairs, 16vt exhaust gasket in case Burbum makes it down and competition prizes.

See you in the morning at 8;15 in Tesco's car park with Gripped, or later on site.

Knocking off work early tonight so might just be able to Make Tesco at 08:15. If not see you inside

Installed in hotel. See you tomorrow.

Hi Schumi, have a great time out tomorrow @Brooklands.

Everyone have a great time, at a great event..

I am working..............

Will do my best Pieter.

I'll be watching out for you......

Cleaned, waxed and fluids checked, see you all tomorrow!

Have a great day, Brooklands bound folk.

Wish I was there too.

Keep the pics coming, especially anything Energy green

@pics: rumour has it M.Schumacher might turn up today.
Wouldn't be surprised if he keeps a low profile and travel modestly to avoid press.
Keep a close eye out for the famous Red LE #0100

Whoever started that rumour has done so in poor taste - isn't he still paralysed and in a wheelchair? He's not been seen in public since his accident, so he's hardly likely to make his inaugural special appearance at some little car show in the UK.....

In fairness to Alesi, he is referring to me. I have been told I look like Schumi (much to my embarrassment) by numerous people over the years including a memorable cringeworthy moment by a load of excited Italian waiters in a restaurant. Anyway, whether I do or not, is up to you.

At the Turin trip, there was a bit of banter about it, and a photo of "Schumi" i.e me, with a Red LE.

No bad taste intended. Everyone hopes he makes as much of a recovery as possible.

Brilliant turn out today! Nice to see some well looked after coupes.

I have put a video of the track parade coupes on the face book site.

What FB site is it mate?

Fiat coupe owners group.

Is it possible for you to put it up on youtube too please Stevo?

A number of us do not use Facebook.

[IMGpop]http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee72/naf68/DSC_0001_zpskotnpcit.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/imgpop]

Could you join the "fiat coupe owners community" and share on that just for the few of us banned from the owners group

Thanks to everyone who attended, it was good to put new faces to names.

A great shame we only had a couple of laps demonstrating our coupes.

Phil Ward was unable to get to judge our cars so we will have to carry it over to Stanford Hall towards the end of June.

Now uploaded to the owners community!

Pete just working on getting it to YouTube.

Thanks for organising it Pete I enjoyed it today, I was hoping for a vote from him for the prize; when we were on the grid waiting for our 2 laps he said he liked my Coop

Thoroughly enjoyed that, surprisingly decent weather too, a little burnt after. Oh and that Stratos!! Wow.

Good to see so many nice Coupés! I thought mine was fairly tidy... not in this company. Sweet touch to drive under Concorde too

Which coupe was yours Doberman? Yep it was good to see the quality of coupe getting better at these meets. Enthusiasts cars now.

Apologies for jumping to the wrong conclusion - clearly I wasn't in on the Turin banter - my loss

Thanks Pete for organising as usual, great mix of Coupes and some had travelled from from far afield including Brittany
My ears are still ringing from the aero engined monster on the hill climb!

My Schuminess is wearing off I think. Only one or two saw the need to point and laugh.

Thanks Pete for the day.

T reg Sprint Blue (formerly owned by Fatash & Chrissy). Next to a very very nice Sprinty Plus on a V plate.

Some pics:

Was anyone else really impressed with the noise the Alfa 4c's make. For a 1.8 turbo they sounded epic!
I overheard some guy talking about changes to Brooklands that are happening to a make a proper track with a straight long enough to do plane taxis on. He said the Wellington bomber will be run down it. Well on hearing that I went straight to the hangar to see how the Wellington bomber restoration is progressing.... And now come to the conclusion that I will be dead before I see that taxi down a run way. I also spoke to Jay Kay when I was next to him buying a coffee to ask if he had come along in his LE Ferrari, he had decided to bring his 599 gtb but had regretted it when he saw that no LE Ferraris were present. #Dream garage!

Agree on the 4C. And seriously impressed with just how quick they are, I know they don't weigh much but still... proper car.

Great day! Nice to meet all those who were their.
1st time to brooklands and will definitely be going again.

I was talking to one of the Brooklands guys in the briefing room and he said they are looking to put down a grass airstrip next year so light aircraft can use this and also taxi some of their collection including a hurricane didn't hear about the Wellington but that would be special.

Great day and Fiat Coupe attendance, enjoyed seeing so many familiar faces and chatting with new, our cars looked awesome and attracted many positive comments from other enthusiasts, one chap in particular who couldn't believe we were celebrating our 20th anniversary

Thanks to Pete as always for his efforts, the flags looked excellent

mark77's Crono LE looked simply stunning Cooperman's N/A Coupe which sounded awesome on the parade Jason's Electric blue Plus which needs to be kept in a vacuum sealed box as it's factory finish condition, generally a great effort by everyone I thought which made the day.

One thing for next year as an idea, a club table for coffee please as the Brookland cues were 30 minutes long.

Would be nice.

The only problem is Brooklands, if you remember they wouldn't let us have naked flames in case we were going to burn down Concorde so I can't think of another way to heat the water.

The café round the back of the stratospheric chamber was quick when Bob and I went there before the track briefing.

What about a couple of these pump action flasks, no need for any naked flames.

When we arrive we can congregate and chat as it's always first mission to seek relief, and then coffee.

Looks feasible Joe.

How long does stuff stay hot?

I have a set of air pots like above, We used them for catering functions, They will keep BOILING hot for 10 hours easily,

Very good they are.

was a good day out, plenty to see and do. nice to see so many coupes i will definitely be going again next year. now my friend who i brought with me wants a coupe!

+1

They do a great job for keeping things hot for sure.

Me and the GF really enjoyed it, we went at last minute but glad we did. Nice to meet a few of you guys.

I have a few pics of the Coupe's on the track:

Brooklands Test Track

Anyone got a pic of all the Coupes under the Concorde, I forget to take any of my car with the others!

gutted I missed it this year but there is always next year .

Here is a selection of the photos I took; notice the high vantage point photos of the track.





















Finally my favorite

Agreed the last one is a great pic. 2 x great coupes and the greatest plane!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Coupe line up and many thanks to all the members who kindly gave advice and suggestions as to how to complete the cambelt change on my 2.0L 20v. I'm getting there and hope to get the job done in next few days. Hopefully will be able to join the next gathering.

Great shots there Mark, how did you get so high up.....one of those gyro thingys?

Thank you for photos!
Any photo of the rare Concorde please?

Here's a picture of Pondman's LE, Sue's and mine.

Three Vinci LE's and Concord

More can be found on my FB page and also a 4k video of the Coupe parade lap with Phil Ward driving the 458S pace car.

https://www.facebook.com/fiatcoupes

Great photos.
It was a big event, I think.

Gove save the coop!

I discovered that you could get onto a balcony up in Mercedes World , there are two, one is limited access but the other was open hence I had a panoramic view of the parade. I have a video of the Coupes' lap; must work out the best way to post this up...

Finally got some time to upload the parade lap video, I was thankful for the opportunity but it was a shame we didn't get more laps.
I think my parting comment on the video was likely down to all the queuing and briefing palaver over what in the end was a very genteel drive around the track
http://youtu.be/v2MAPc87HyI

Here is Another pic.

Here are a couple of Brooklands' own videos from youtube.

In the first one there are some coupes arriving at around 30secs and 1minute 50 seconds.
You may recognise one or two faces in the (boring) briefing in the second.

Surprise, surprise they concentrate on the usual expensive or ancient cars, but then the Brooklands Museum organisation is very stuck in the privileged past. Some coupes shown as the aero-engine cars go to the circuit.

Phil Ward apologised to me afterwards for not being able to look at our cars, he got stuck with some admin issues. He is happy to judge them at Stanford Hall on June 28th.

Hah! I'm just about visible in the stationary right-hand column at 4.05, two behind the 308, in the first video.

Those photos are fantastic. Wish I could have been there.

A great day out and many thanks to Pete for organising it all. Here is my dashcam video of the parade laps!

YouTube

Yeah, mines in the highlites video at 06:27.... By accident shame, the camera panned with the wrong red Italian stallion!
