First Abarth Bristol meet

['The Gaffer']

Don't worry, I'm not defecting, but seeing Speedy has a new Abarth 500 I thought it might be good to arrange a meet with the local Abarthtisti (Abarth enthusiasts) We got 14 cars, very good for a first meet considering the cars are pretty rare and what a great bunch of people.

I suggested we met at the Willy Wicket pub car park - just off the 'Willy Wicket' roundabout on the Bristol ring road and leave at 7.30pm for a 15 min 6 mile convoy around the ring road to the Aspects Leisure Park 'Lower Deck Car park' We stood around the cars for a while chatting then went upstairs for a drink in the boozer. This worked out quite well and maybe a combo that could work for us too.

When did this all happen then Phil?

Last Thursday eve mate.

It even rained - oh the joy of a roof

Don't worry though folks, I don't intend to become an Abarthisti just yet - just thought you all might be interested in what I get up to outside the BKCC.
