    Haven't seen this posted here yet this year but guessing all Italian car enthusiasts are welcome. From the DC Fiat webpage:

    "Please join DC Fiats as we host the second annual Gran Premio d'ITALIA Watch Party/Breakfast on September 7, 2014 at Osteria Marzano. At the last F1 race in Hungary, Fernando Alonso placed second and Kimi Räikkönen came in 6th , the best finish for both drivers this year. This could signal a Scuderia Ferrari resurgence so please join your fellow Tifosi in cheering them on at their home track.

    Last year Chef Carmine Marzano put on an amazing breakfast buffet featuring traditional Italian dishes and more is in store this year. The price is $20 per person, for food, coffee, and juice. Specialty Drinks will be available as well at the cash bar. Pre-race coverage starts at 7:30 AM but arrive early and park your Italian car in front of the restaurant so you can be part of the group photo. The post-race coverage should conclude about 11AM but the bar will remain open for those that want to hang out and sensibly celebrate.

    Osteria Marzano is located at 6361 Walker Lane, Suite 140 (Metro Park VI) in Alexandria, VA and you can get more details at Springfield Restaurants VA - Old Town Alexandria Restaurants | Osteria Marzano. If you plan to attend please contact Tim Murray at [email protected] and let him know how many are in your party. Forza Ferrari!"

    Here are some photos from last year's event! I'm hoping to get more than just 2 Ferrari's out there this year!! And you don't have to come in a Ferrari. All Italian marques are welcome (Lamborghini, Maserati, etc.)

    If you're interested in attending please contact Tim at his email above, or feel free to email me ([email protected]) and I'll let him know.

    Hope to see you all there!!

    Just wanted to clarify something. Although this restaurant is in Alexandria, VA it is NOT in old town Alexandria. This restaurant is located in the Metro IV office park near Springfield Mall and the Springfield Metro Center.

    We hope to see you there!

    Sorry...quick correction to my post above. It's not Metro Park IV but rather Metro Park VI.

    Sorry about that. :)

    Sure would be. If I don't, not saying I won't but if I don't, come on out to Wegmans one Sunday.

    It's a very long drive for a very early call. Probably be a last minute decision.

    Decide Saturday night by going to bed early. The drive Sunday AM isn't so bad because its like a ghosttown on the roads that early.

    Omar,

    I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can make it out and join the group!!

    Hey Guys, I was hoping to be out at Katie's tomorrow morning, but I'm still at work (10:40 PM) dealing with some IT Stuff! Could you all please pass the word around about Sunday's event? If anyone would like any more information, please refer them to this thread or have them email me ([email protected]).

    Thanks Everyone. See you on Sunday!!

    Unfortunately the Scuderia didn't do so well during the Italian GP. But some interesting news was announced as I'm sure you've all already heard. For those of us who did show, we had a great time spending it with friends and enjoying some WONDERFUL food!!

    I've posted some photos to the FCA-MAR's photo webpage: FCA-MAR Photo Library

    Enjoy!
