    The display started as a Bertone Lamborghini event, but they broadened it to any/all Bertone designs..

    Thanks for the notice, Geno. The GT4 will be up front and looking great!

    Thanks Cole. I just hope that I am parked next to a Lancia Stratos...the BMW would be cool, though!

    I thought that once also. It didn't go like I planned last year.

    My GT4 was in the special Bertone display in 2009. When they were choosing cars for the presentation on stage a guy went through the GT4s to pick the nicest ones to go up. He picked out the nicest GT4s and then he also picked mine because it wasn't red. Mrs. Bertone sat in the car and signed my sun visor and thanked me for taking such good care of her car. She then leaned over and polished the Bertone badge with her handkerchief.

    that is awesome, congratulations. I will stop by and pay homage for sure.

    I submitted my Jalpa, and was turned down. I have determined a jalpa is like owning an ugly dog, only the owner thinks its good looking.

    We are sending out acceptance notices this week for the special Bertone Display at Concorso Italiano. Some acceptances went out late last week.
    As this is a celebration of Bertone's centennial, we are not limiting the Display to Italian cars. So yes, if your Bertone-designed car is not Italian we encourage you to submit it for consideration. We've already accepted a Volvo and a Citroen, and we have two non-Italian concept cars. More are coming. A Bertone-designed BMW? Absolutely. Send information please.

    Its right around the corner gents. Who is attending? I thought it would be good to find a place to meet, say at Patrick's car at a certain designated time where we can debate fuel hoses and whatnot.

    Who is attending with what car?

    1) Geno (Jalpa)
    2)

    There is a get together planned for cars that are placed on the day before the event @ Italiano.

    Also, there is a social gathering after the event, so I was told by the contact person for Italiano Concorso. If you are interested give them a call, they are very helpful.

    I will only discuss fuel hoses with my attorney present!

    I will be driving the GT4 down from Santa Cruz early in the morning on Friday...

    Look forward to meeting some FChat members and having a great day with several friends that are joining me. Julie, my umbrella girl, should be easy to spot or just look for the red Ferrari and you'll find me. LOL.
