I'll print this out and stick pins in a map, and try and see which one is easiest for me to attend. Alternatively; maybe we should try for a groundswell of interest for one particular event' try and get 'everyone' out..?

If all three of us go thats the whole forum! Only kidding other members In the past on the forum members have used Auto Italia in Brooklands as 'the' event. As there is loads to see and do there. But its in surrey which even for me is a trek, usually M25 adds an extra hour to the journey time due to delays, accidents or roadworks every year. Having said that I've not missed a Brooklands Auto Italia event for the past 5 years. 145man the Dutch meet is gonna be great for the 145s. I've not booked it yet but will do. Dante there aren't many AROC events this which are near to you. See if you can make some of them.

It's the week before the Zandvoort Spettacolo Sportivo in Holland but will try and make it. The Coventry museum meet is where I'm going to display my 145. So if anyone fancies coming along to see it it'll be there. -------------------- G A N Z 145 Instagram ganz145_alfa

I didn't check my fb last night so missed it today. I couldn't help noticing that we have more chance of getting loads of people together via the Alfa fb pages. So I'm going to be posting events I'm going to on fb too. The groups I belong to are in order of activity: Alfabook. This group seems to most active for organising meet and greets. Started as a social media group for UK Alfisti. They even have their own website https://alfabook.co.uk/ and Instragram #alfabook Alfabook Modified. Yes, this is a tearaway faction of Alfabook for Alfisti who have modded their Alfas. Alfa Romeo 145 & 146 155 & 156 EU_Tuning Club Alfa Romeo 145/146 group run by clover breakers Alfa155.org - For Alfa 155 enthusiasts! This group already has a calendar event for the Spettacolo where you can see who is going. If there are some Brits going it's good to know. If you join any of the groups you can create your own calendar events and see what interest there is. Wow, 2018 is gonna be the year of events. No more garage work!! -------------------- G A N Z 145 Instagram ganz145_alfa

This year I am staying in Haarlem leaving on Thursday arriving early Friday morning - it’s a good trip. At the moment I’m booked to take the over night ferry back to Harwich on Sunday, but I may extend it if the weather is decent and stay in Zandvoort. We can meet on the way that would be cool, let me know what your plans are.

Then to Zandvoort. I would have to get back on Sunday to get to work on Monday. Wow, I've not done any 'road' trips since I was 20. Quite excited about the prospect. Let me sort out my travel arrangements. Yes it would be way cool to meet up to the event. -------------------- G A N Z 145 Instagram ganz145_alfa

I try and do an Italian car Road trip every year..! (and I'm 45)

What's the point of life otherwise...

(An Alfa 145 / 146 group run by Cloverbreakers?! That'll be what my gf wanted the 'winter 145 / 146 pictures' for, then)

Maybe it's time for me to join FB then Ganz

Loads more 145/6 owners who post everyday. This forum still great for knowledge base stuff. Yeah know what you mean about living. I drink and each too much and as an athlete I know I should be training and hitting the gym the last 5years but at least I've lived life in last 5 years. -------------------- G A N Z 145 Instagram ganz145_alfa

I've put them all in a list with the other stuff I want to do this year. I'll be at Brooklands [Reading Beer Festival is always the day before - I only do the Friday afternoon session there to make sure I can drive the next morning] and Duxford and probably Weston Park with AROC. Alton is just down the road from me The AROC SW day is at Sparkord Haynes Museum on Sunday 20th May. I've heard good things about Spettacolo Sportivo at Zandvoort -------------------- Can I start again?

It was a pleasure. If I didn't do it I feared another year may drift by where I don't really do much. Gonna get to Brooklands as soon as they open to make sure of a spot. Do some polishing before the punters arrive. Ganzarola will be there! -------------------- G A N Z 145 Instagram ganz145_alfa

If I get a chance tomorrow morning- I may cut & paste and abbreviate your initial post and then repost it again, so that people have space to put their names next to each potential event.
