Thanks again
Vince...


"fly over" cool!
never thought I would want a list but now find myself needing one just to remind me: Clio V6 230, 5 gt turbo, 5 Gordini turbo, Megane RS 300 Trophy.

Thanks....
Just another one of my toys..... Wanted to use it at Prescott, but there are too many "Health and Safety" regulations with flying drones in public. but it sure does give another angle to an event.
I really want to remake the scene from the Italian job, with the Lambo driving in the Alps, ( Not including the tunnel crash tho LOL) but an Alpine instead.. Maybe one day!

Was a great day here... not too much P*** taking...

Top day out, thanks to RATS for hosting. Nice to see so many Alpine's and the video is really cool. Shame you can't use that at more events as it really does add another dimension.

you need to pay a visit.... myself and an few local friends do that route at least once a year.... long and short St Bernard Passes on mont blanc, spiders and Alpines also its 3 countries in one day breakfast in france, lunch in Italy and afternoon coffee in Switzerland....

if anyone in the club I seriously interested in doing a tour I could arrange it over a weekend also with a tour in Turin of the roof on the Fiat Factory where they did the chase, also there is a very good car museum there too, it's been mentioned before last year but not enough interest to kick it off.....

Wow! Well this is one trip I would be interested in doing, once I get my A610 painted and finished.
This is now on my wish list for things to do in the A610. You must let me know the route so I can map it out on Google Earth.
I did the Millau Bridge in 2010, but in a Smart Roadster (Don't laugh!) it was fun..
I now have to do this Alp route, in my A610. Please PM me the route so I can start my planning.
Cheers Vince..

Great day, good to catch up with owners old and new.

Many thanks to Lee for hosting and Dawn for bringing the pizza.

Thanks for posting the pics Vince and I'm well impressed with the helicopter video, it's so stable and of very good quality. Who's the fat fecker having a "turn" right at the end though?

Great to see you all as always.

Thanks to Lee and Dawn- much appreciated as ever.

This trip sounds like a good-un, reckon I might even get round to washing it for that one!

Enjoyed the day. Thanks Lee and Dawn.
Great video Vince, great piece of kit, I want one.
Thanks to AreTee I now know about the 'secret' access cover in the passenger footwell to access the throttle cable end and pedal pivot. I located it today, under the glued tunnel carpet, would never have know it was there.
Will watch with interest progress on the yellow A310.
