Sytner ALPINA Nottingham 24th April 22
Re: Sytner ALPINA Nottingham 24th April 22
Awesome day and so glad I've finally made the pilgrimage up to the home of Alpina.
Amazing to see so many cars, meet so many different people and the time flew by. Thanks to Mark Ellis and Rav for the drive up too. Had quite a lot of thumbs up and people slowing down to see 3 Alpina's in a row cruising up the motorway.

Re: Sytner ALPINA Nottingham 24th April 22
Well done that chap
Re: Sytner ALPINA Nottingham 24th April 22
Fantastic day out. A big thank you to Norman for organising and of course Gary for hosting. A huge effort for both you - cheers.
As mentioned by Wellsy it was an early start for 3 Alpinas 'down souf' but great driving up with the z4 roadster and D3Biturbo crusing along.
A real pleasure putting faces to names after many years. Great to meet some of you in person.

Re: Sytner ALPINA Nottingham 24th April 22
I've been working on a gallery of sorts having collated the photos shared against the list of attendees.
By my reckoning, there were 78 of the booked in cars that arrived on the day, plus one which sneaked in and five which were Sytner displays.
And not forgetting Steve's wardrobe malfunction!

Re: Sytner ALPINA Nottingham 24th April 22
In an ideal world I'd have taken good solid pics of each car individually, but I also wanted to chat so apologies if some cars didn't get the attention they deserved.
It was a great day, met and caught up with many people, but still not as many as I'd have liked to.
It's stunning to see that many Alpinas in one place.
By contrast we have room for unlimited numbers in the June Lawns meet and we are at 7 cars.
Successful outing

Re: Sytner ALPINA Nottingham 24th April 22
I'm a bit embarrassed...showed up on the Sat and noone was there.
However Alex Worley was very hospitable, and I had a coffee and a walk round the showroom.
I had a nice lunch at the Giggling Squid and cruised home. Behaved myself until I got two junctions from home when all hell literally broke loose (Ferrari and two Audis)
I don't like waste and it was wasteful. The car got dirty and I burned a load of fuel and time...but still a great weekends and ultimately its just another funny story isn't it...I had two very sedate trips on the Sunday due to convoy and traffic to make up for it.
Still think Steve's shoes were funnier...I bloody love that guy
Re: Sytner ALPINA Nottingham 24th April 22
They are great pictures of a wide range of great looking cars - but was there an Alpina green boycott?! Blue looks very much the colour here!
