ALL ITALIAN CLASSIC CAR MEET - DEPARTURE LOUNGE, ALTON, SATURDAY APRIL 1ST

[general_piffle]

Wondered if anyone else fancies this Italian car meet just outside Alton in Hampshire, on Saturday April 1st? There's normally quite an eclectic mix of cars, it starts from 10am and they do a decent breakfast:

Car Meets « The Departure Lounge Cafe

 

[Ebenezer]

Usually go as it's the first "meet" of the year
Eb

 

[Scaf]

It’s in the diary, if the weather is half decent J will be there in the Strad.

Thinking of heading over

 

[conaero]

As it’s my birthday I think I will go to this.

 

[dem maser]

If I have the Giulia still I’ll go

 

[Alan Surrey]

Come anyway Dem. I'll see you there. Its a nice meet in a good place with satisfactory roads around it, as I expect you know.
I think this is the cohort so far:

1) General_piffle
2) Ebenezer
3) Scaf
4) Will-W (perhaps)
5) Conaero
6) Dem maser (may need special arrangements - easily done - if Giulia sold)

It’s in the diary. It was very good last year, apart from the very slow queue for coffee!

 

[stindig]

I’ll be there

After living in London for 30 years, and now Hampshire the past 6 years, I've become aware of the many differences. For example, more than 2 people in a local shop is a "crazy rush on". More than 3 cars on a stretch of road is "gridlock"...

Guilty as charged. Have been working in advertising (not 'that' specific ad) for over 25 years. Unable to watch Mad Men, as I fear it may be too close to home!

I’d be happy to convoy if I can make it.. Won’t know until closer to the day mind.

Nearer the time if you want to link up, you could come down with me in the Strad.
