General Chat / "Don't tell the bride" - own up - who is it?
« on: August 13, 2015, 07:35:28 PM »
Just setting up my new marine tank while the wife is watching this week's "Don't tell the bride" episode

I thought I recognised the exhaust note, I turned around and saw that the groom to be owns an all- black A500 and lives in Kent ;D

Meets & Events / Goodwood Festival of Speed
« on: March 17, 2015, 10:44:07 AM »
Moving Motor Show - 25th June 2015
Festival of Speed - 26th to 28th June 2015

Although there is no official capacity to have a official meeting organised, it is nice for people to mingle and have a drink while looking at some truly stunning automobiles.

In previous years we have organised a small gathering at a certain time during the Moving Motor Show, so thought it would be nice to do so again!

Abarth UK will have their usual spot in the heart of the Moving Motor Show, where they will be offering a few lucky people a chance to drive up the infamous Goodwood Test Hill.  Bookings have to be made at the Abarth UK stand on the day.

Attendees:

Questions / Wheel sealant?
« on: February 18, 2015, 10:59:59 AM »
I'll be getting my Esseesse wheels back from being refurbished on Saturday and want to put some proper protection on them.

The finish is going to be Matte, so need something non-shiny to seal them with.

Suggestions?

I was thinking about Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour, but I can't find anything that confirms if this is matte friendly?

***Deadline For Donation - Friday 1st May***

Hello ladies and gentlemen

I have registered our interest in having a stand for the annual Super Car Siege, hosted this year at the beautiful Leeds Castle, Kent.

This is a charity event and this year's charity is "The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Children’s Fund".

This is a really friendly event that gets bigger year by year.  This year will be supported by the Sporting Bears; a dedicated group of classic and sports car enthusiasts with one aim - to raise money for children’s charities.

There is a reduced price of £10 per car..  Normal Castle & Grounds tickets are £24 each, so this is a massive saving!

Cars will need to be in place by no later than 8:45am and will need to remain in position until 16:30hrs

Further details and pictures from previous events can be found here: http://supercarsiege.co.uk/gallery/

For Sale / Punto "Esseesse" mats
« on: January 27, 2015, 07:07:20 AM »
Hi all

I made an impulse purchase at the weekend and am now the proud owner of some "Esseesse" mats.

They are the official UK made EVO mat, so are designed to fit the slightly different  floor trim of the EVO but should fit the Grande Punto too.

Esseesse is in red writing and the rear mats have the Abarth logo.

£30 collected or I can bring along to Ace Cafe.  Will  consider shipping.

Thanks
William

Esseesse crate for sale

It's quite large so would need to be collected in a vehicle longer than a Punto.

Needs to be delivered from TN10.  If it fits in a Punto then I could bring it to Ace Cafe in February..
