    Coopers is an event no one should miss. I'll be there again with my fingers crossed for another Lamborghini Miura.

    Jack said a friend of his is special-ordering a black Speedster (supposedly the only black one they will make), and it will be there if he gets it in time. That will be a sight to see.

    Indeed. It is a great event. Alot of classic Bentleys and Rollers were there last year, along with a gold Dino 246, orange Miura, red 300SL (with a brand new SLS just parked feet from it), and a red 275 GTS among others.

    Great show with plenty of shade!

    I believe Don will be organizing the Ferraris on one side of the drive, representing the FCA. Our club will be organinzing the "mixed Italians" on the other side of the drive. We will have our popup tent, chairs and some cool drinks.

    I will be bringing the Fiat 500 "Prima Edizione". :)

    So is this the same basic set up as last year?

    I told myself last year I needed to put some feelers out there and get in tune with the community, but my shy nature held me back. I really only spent some time talking to one person (Scott, that would be you). Of course, my car at that time was mostly disassembled. Well, this year I need to try and track Don down and get some club info. I've had my car for about three years now, so past time to get involved. Looking forward to Sunday. I'm sure I'll be sporting my Ricambi America cap when I get there...

    Lots of neat Alfa Romeos and a Lancia at this year's show were the highlights to me. Just like last year's I feel like I died 2 times in the heat. I'm not sure how many of the older participants can bear it. Great show as always, just overwhelmingly June-ish.

    Nice pictures Charles. Looks like the Ferrari section was better represented this year.

    It was interesting how completely different those two cars were. The grill/headlight areas weren't even remotely similar.

    The Ford Torino convertible was one of my favorites. It was light blue with white interior.
