SILVERSTONE CLASSIC MEDIA DAY
The date of 2017 media day doesn't show yet on The Classic website, but it's March 23rd according to the FJHRA. That seems a bit early....

Well, it's been and gone now! I know bauble was there in an official capacity, just curious how well supported it was, being a lot earlier than previous years. Bit early for testing a car when event is 4 months away, despite it being free........

I thought it was a fairly low key sort of a day, not a lot of great interest, the usual suspects with their usual cars. Very windy and the paddock was pretty empty after lunch, most have gone home early. I noticed this as I headed for my car.

You're all very cruel!
So, why all the baby Fiats? Anyone know? Do like the Yanks in the bottom pic. |

I was chatting to a friend who frequents this forum only occasionally, and he was puzzled as to comments about me having lost my shoes.
You really do need to keep up here, or you soon lose the plot. |

Je ne veux pas passer pour un poseur Robert ou pire un impertinent
but your friend Willie doesn't own a "normal" Fiat 500. Not at all IMHO. It seems it could be an ultra are Steyr Puch, possibly 650 T or even better/rarer 650 TR. Congrats to him for that ! |

That Steyr does look interesting, although the badge is a bit out of proportion! |

Mike if I could spot the Steyr logo its because our friend's picture is quite good. I wonder if the badge looks out of proportion because the car is so tiny or for some other reason!

Willie's Steyr Puch (Chta Yer Pooorh for pedants!) could be a 500 not a 650 (soft top and not metal top). Could you please ask him Robert?

My grasp of Le Francais is not up to any alternative meaning of 'touch'. Is it fit for a cultured gentilhomme such as my self? Your previous reference to underwear makes me wonder just what sort of Mon Ami I have discovered in the EU. Is it true that the French like to drink in brassieres? La Baub. |

Robert mon Ami the reference to underwear is because I just discovered you have a company involved in racing suits named Lille, same name as a large french town. Not very far from Jean's location!
May be you have a typo: French like to drink in brasseries should may be changed to French like to be drunk in brasseries… Please do inquire about Willie's wonder please. Want to surprise him? Just ask why the Steyr has a soft top instead of a metal one… |

I saw the Lille thing John. Sadly may be we could get use to that in a while unfortunately.
As to bauble may be I didn't understand correctly. He is smart enough to write on purpose "brassieres" as he did instead of "brasseries"… Only you can tell ! |

This whole conversation is out of control! I post a picture of an obscure old Fiat and it has developed into an international hunt for more information.
Who the heck cares? Come on chaps is life so deadly dull for you all that such trivia must dominate your waking hours (you probably spend your sleeping hours dreaming about it to) I shall have to carefully consider my position regarding posting further pictures on site. Gerard, while I am not well versed in French drinking habits I do know the difference between ladies underwear and drinking dens. I am wondering about going to a car boot sale today and perhaps buying a couple. |
