Fig08 was the first national gathering for Nissan Figaro owners at the Heritage Motor Centre (HMC) museum at Gaydon, Warwickshire on Sunday May 18th 2008.

Total cars that attended: 208 plus 3 Paos, 1 S-Cargo, 1 Be-1 and 1 Rasheen.

There are over 600 pictures on Flickr now: http://www.flickr.com/groups/fig08

Total raised so far for the Wheels Project £1,100, www.wheelsproject.org.uk. Which was fantastic for the first event organised and promoted via the Internet. Most of the money was raised by the sale of raffle tickets – well done the Forum Team. What generous people Figaro owners and Figaro Traders are.


"Car of the Event" was won by Madeline Wilson in the lovely pink Figaro and trailer. Second, by one, vote was FIG4454,Nic & Alison with a fireglow red pearl figaro from Wimbledon.

.
Furthest Traveled Figaro went to Katrina & John, 328 Miles. We realised later that Amanda from Aberdeenshire was at the show, 458 miles. They both deserve a prize for this feat and both received a subscription to Total Nissan Magazine and a Fig08 certificate.

.
Maria & Dave McSweeney won the free roof fitting. We have had a lovely thank you email from them. They were so pleased to win it - Jason who offered the prize from www.figaros4sale.co.uk worked really hard all day - a star.


Maria & Dave have made a separate donation to the Fig08 nominated charity as have Hallen Import Specialists.


Ian from Stratford won the www.fyldeimports.com £500 interior upgrades.
Sayuri from London , won the Clarion Service UK Stereo Upgrade. Sayuri was providing a translation service for us at the show. She is also keeping the Japanese Internet Forum, who are amazed at number of Figaros gathered in one place, updated with Fig08 details. http://www.21style.jp/bbs/figafiga/index.html
