    The Ferrari Owners Club San Diego Region is holding our 10th annual Bella Italia car show on April 10, 2010 at Spanish Landing Park on beautiful San Diego Bay. This has become one of the greatest Italian exotic car shows in Southern California. In addition to Ferrari, we are proud to share out event again with Lamborghini, Maserati, and a few special racing legends.

    As has been our custom, proceeds from the event benefit our local charities, and this year we are teaming up with the Wounded Warrior Foundation and we plan to have some of these incredible patriots with us at the show. You definitely don't want to miss the chance of meeting these brave warriors who have paid a high price to protect our freedom.

    Additional details can be found on our website at www.focsandiego.com

    Come enjoy a great Italian car show, lunch, music, and fellowship...all very good stuff!

    Ciao,

    I just want to validate Gary's message. This is the the FOC's big event for the year here in San Diego. If you have attended before, nothing else needs to be said. If you have not, I can guarantee that you will have a great time seeing some great cars, along with many vendors who help support the show. As far as I know, there is no other car show in the SD area that has as many Italian exotics as this show. Save the date on your schedule for this spectacular Italian Exotic Car show event.

    If someone wants to get a hotel on Friday night that is on the water...or in a cool area...where?

    Not familiar with that park. What is it near?

    Kevin,

    It's across the street from the San Diego airport. Harbor Island Hilton is the closest hotel to the park, and on the bay, with a Sheraton close by also on Harbor Island. The W and Hard Rock hotels are about a five minute drive away in downtown SD in the Gas Lamp area for something a little more hip.

    It is an amazing show.

    Definitely do not to miss this one.

    You could walk from the airport to the Sheraton which is directly adjacent to Spanish landing where Bella Italia is held.

    Last year the circle of excllence spanned 4 decades, but there was another lineup which attracted my attention.

    FYI KWIKFILMS is producing a DVD for this event. We are looking for a few Ferraris who are planning on attending to be added on this DVD. We are looking for Testarossas since they are the featured car for this event... But if you have another Ferrari, Lambo, or any other car at the event let me know. Please send me your name and vehicle and we will contact you. You can take a look at our recent Ferrari video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4awG2A5Xb-g

    Is this event open to the public for admiring the beautiful cars, and for a prospective owner to see many models and variations side by side? Or, is this only open for registered people?
    Thanks,
    Jes

    It looks like you guys are going to have a great weekend. My wife and I were going to drive the 348 over but some unexpected out of town relatives will be here and I guess the nice thing to do would be to visit with them....so I'm told.
    It's that time of the year here in Az. when everyone wants to pop in before it turns into a furnace for the next 5 months.
    Have a great Show!:)

    The event is fully open to the public with no admission charge. It is a park setting so there is plenty of room to openly roam around the cars. Bring your camera as there are always lots of nice photo opportunities.

    I might have to swing by tomorrow!

    The Testarossa needs to stretch her legs.
