don't worry if you don't have a Beta on the road (I'm taking my VW) all Lancia folk welcome

They were the magic words for me  ;) and just booked the complete two night package  :D

My Beta (Trevi) is in bits at the moment being restored and made pretty  :D Although the restorer did say "there's nothing I can do a Trevi to make it pretty!". "Beauty is in the eye of the Trevi owner" I say so went ahead with the much needed restoration and beautification  :) I was holding off booking this event to see if the Trevi was going to be ready, which now it seems it won't be. But I'll be there in the Gamma or I can come along on my early Beta Berlina alloys fitted to my Fiat 131  ;D As I told everyone at the LMC trackday yesterday, I was attending in Beta alloys, the Fiat was simply there as it was attached to them  ;D ;D  The Betas do have Fiat engines like my Fiat after all .....   ;D ;D ;D

Dear Theo,
As I have previously said "the Fiat 131 Mirafiori Sport is one of the most underrated drivers cars of all time, certainly better than it's nemisis The Escort RS"!
Please , please , please bring the 131. It will make my weekend. We can even park next to, as we are bringing our 124 Spider. The lancia boyz can throw insults, buns and free money at us all weekend as far as I care!
BTW, did I say please?

Looking forward,
Chas and Anne, (also working on tetchy Lancia with electrical issues). ;D ;D ;D

Hi all

Great to see more of you coming- please don't forget to call or email me if there is any information you need, or if I can help in any way prior to the event

It's a really lovely hotel, and I'm sure anyone staying will not be disappointed. As for the days events, around 200 cars are expected, and I have arranged that we are all parked together. The pub is walking distance so whatever the weather we can make a dash for it- I've also spoken to the pub about a group table- more details on the day. There will be a fun auto trial if anyone is brave enough to take part....

Final itinerary will depend on numbers, but I would advise anyone wanting to stay to book NOW to avoid missing out on a room- in any case, everyone is welcome for all or any part of the weekend- the best part of any event is always catching up with each other!

Really looking forward to seeing you all

.... I have just re-read my post, and to be clear, 200 assorted classic cars will be at the event in Weston- not 200 Lancia Betas- I mean, that would be great (are there 200 of us out there?....) but perhaps a tad optimistic!!!

If you look on how many left it would seem that here are about 150 or so active taxed betas in the summer months, makes me wonder where they all are!

James/Stuart

Please dont think that its lack of interest.

As someone hopefully near to bringing another long-missing car back into use, I would love to have come.

Unfortunately, we have a long standing something we cannot miss on Saturday night. A 250 mile scream down and back in a day seems optimistic as a test run, even assuming that the choco-lime is ready.

I am sure that it will be a great weekend and wish everyone well.

Keep up the good work and hope to see you next year if not before.

Sadly I won't be in the HPE, and possibly not a Beta at all, but would like to make the saturday. For those turning up for the day, is it best to arrive at the car show from around half 11?

Hi All

Sadly will not be able to make it this year, but just to wish everyone a great weekend and that the weather is kind for you.

I am hoping that if there is a meeting next year, I will be able to be there.

Is there a definitive plan for Friday evening dinner and activities? I'm not sure what time I'll make it there on Friday so it'll be handy to know what is happening and when it's happening and where it's happening ...  ;) ;D ;D

Hi All, The sun's gonna shine and we'll have a great time. Looking forward to seeing everybody, and a certain black Coupe VX is looking mean and keen and raring to go! Just need to remove the tyre covers...  ;)
See you tomorrow,

Hello all

I have booked a table for 7pm, for those of us that are staying tomorrow (Friday) night, to have an informal dinner

Sadly I have a late meeting that I cannot get out of (I wasn't supposed ti be working at all this day) so I will leave you in Tony's capable hands for proceedings tomorrow evening- I may just get to the hotel in time for a drink- ETA 9:30-10pm... I'm really sorry about this

I have an info pack for you all which I may put under your doors, so you have all your info ready for the main event.

I hope you have safe journeys, and if I miss you tomorrow, see you all at Breakfast on Saturday!

Hi all
I will cross the channel tomorrow morning. I will then go from Folkestone to the hotel. Is it possible to get some telephone number I can call in case of trouble (just phone support)
Thank you
