Fuori Concorso Plans

Ever since I saw Harry Metcalfe’s videos on YouTube talking about FuoriConcorso on the side of Lake Como, I’ve wanted to attend. FuoriConcorso, they say, is “an event series creating memorable moments of Automotive Culture connecting and enriching enthusiasts around the world”. This year’s video was the decider, so I worked out roughly which weekend it might be in 2027 and I’ve booked accordingly.

We will be staying at the Hotel Villa Flori and wandering up and down between the various villas to see the cars and enjoy the spectacle.  We’ll also be taking in the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este whilst we’re there.

Obviously, we couldn’t take a mere Ford, so we’ll instead be taking the Abarth home to Italy and travelling via Switzerland too.

That’s roughly the route we’ll be taking.

 

Goodbye 2000 RM; Hello 3 RHM

Whilst the Kawasaki is off the road – whilst I recover from my serious crash last year – I thought I’d take the opportunity to swap the numberplate over, as the ZRX’s ‘plate is ‘better’ than the Abarth’s.

Getting them off the vehicles and onto retention certificates was easy online but I then hit a snag in that you can’t immediately reassign them until the new registration documents (that you won’t be using for anything else other than immediately making them obsolete) arrived.

Great! So whilst the bike is fine in my garage, I had to park the 124 on a private road for a couple of days until I could get it reinsured with its new numberplate.

So 2000 RM is no more (in terms of the 124); long live 3 RHM!
