Always a good day.

Would be nice to make this a bit of a beta meet up, quite central for most folk I think

[andybeta]

Indeed.

[HFStuart]

Quite close for me  - if I wasn't in Wales at the time.

I'm not doing very well with meets this year!

And we are in France....

I will be beta-less as usual so will be in the crappler but I will try to get Steve Thompson to bring his vx

[DARREN BETA. SPYDER]

i never been to a meet before ,would like to take beta i.e along .does anyone know what time it starts and what entrance to use

[rossocorsa]

They usually signpost it and it is fairly casual but best to get there reasonably early the fiat forum crowd are going to be there and they say that start is 1030. It will be swamped with fiat and alfa so unless some lancias get there early ish we'll get squeezed out! I will be there either in my chrysler delta or more likely (as the wife proclaimed the event boring last year) tagging along with Steve Thompson in his vx coupe

10.30 on the button  it is then .i,m a little unsure of whether to use normal car park or show parking , my beta i.e is,nt show quality by all means but proud of work i,ve accomplished so far . i have an uncle who will be there in his ferrari , he ripping me already saying ferrari,s up front lancia,s behind cow shed, i would so like to drive by him and hoot and wave as he,s broke down on his way there,lol.

All in together there's no posh area

Tell him Ferrari is a newcomer brand compared to Lancia. Vincenzo Lancia was one of Enzo Ferrari's boyhood heroes.

[rossocorsa]

The theory is that Lancias are often a bit worn due to the fact they are great to drive, Ferraris are great to polish.....

And don't forget that they donated the d50 to enzo to save the Ferrari f1 team from disaster

[peteracs]

I always find it quite satisfying at these sort of events. There are normally loads of Ferraris, mainly red of course and so after looking at a few you get overload, similar to recent Alfas, so move onto something different which is where the likes of Lancia come into their own, interesting variety and not a great line to get bored looking at (usually...)

I am still hoping to go along for the morning at least .

Mark

[rossocorsa]

Steve is going in his vx and I am blagging a lift with him, I hope we get a good turn out of betas

[rossocorsa]

Good day nice turn out with several Betas on display along with a few other lancias and of course a huge amount of fiat/alfa and a sprinkling of exotics, apologies I didn't take any pictures

[Thotos]

Here's some pictures:

As discussed check the aux air valve is working properly, they can become sticky with old age
