Here's all the info

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fellow Italian Car Aficionados:

FEN would like to invite you and yours to participate in the Fifth Annual All-Italian Car Show sponsored by FIAT Enthusiasts Northwest (FEN) on Sunday, April 24th at the Issaquah XXX Root Beer Drive-In.

We view this as an opportunity to get all of the Italian car clubs together at one great venue, and to ready our cars for another great year of fun. We will be having great items to raffle off with part of the proceeds going to the Enrichment Options charity organization.

What: The Fiat Enthusiasts Northwest All-Italian Car Show is intended to be a light-hearted, fun event, for Italian car buffs and their families. All Italian cars, in any condition from daily driver to concours ready, are wholeheartedly welcome. Spend an afternoon with fellow Italian car enthusiasts immersed in automotive indulgence. There will be no white glove inspections, no examinations for authentic restorations, but simply the enjoyment that comes from spending quality time with fellow car enthusiasts. NO REPLICAS OR KIT CARS, PLEASE

When: Sunday, 24 April 2011. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. Show runs until 3:00 p.m.

Where: Triple X Root Beer Drive-in, 98 NE Gilman Blvd., Issaquah, Washington, just off I-90 at exit 17, http://www.triplexrootbeer.com.

Cost: Advanced registration $15.00, $20.00 at the door. Spectator admission is FREE.

Enjoy 50’s music, root beer, and hamburgers at the XXX Root Beer Drive-in, one of only two remaining XXX Root Beer Drive-ins in the nation. The drive-in’s interior is filled with automotive memorabilia from the rock and roll era.

Spectators will have an opportunity to vote for their favorite Italian cars from those on display. A people’s choice award will be issued based on a tally of votes. The voter’s selection criteria will be left up to the individual voter’s likes and dislikes of the cars on display.

A portion of the registation fee benefits the Life Enrichment Options program, a non-profit organization that seeks to foster a community, which fully engages people with developmental disabilities based on their individual choices in all areas of community life.

Register online at PayPal, be sure to include your name and the make & year of your Italian car. Thank you!

Sorry, no. I just checked with the FEN board and they will not allow a DeLorean in their ALL ITALIAN Car Show.

Their response was: "If we allow a DeLorean in, using the same standard, we'd have to allow the VW Scirocco/Golf, Lotus Esprit, AMC Eagle and other Giugiaro designs."

I totally agree with their decision.

 

Here is the Fiat Club's response about the date. It was either that day, or nothing...

We had no choice. XXX is really booked. Either that day, or skip it for this year. There are no other dates available. And if we skip it for a year, we may not get it back.

 

The trophy was never given to that car (replica 250 California Spdyer). When the staff found out it was a fake, it was presented to a real Ferrari instead.

Kit cars/replicas are no longer allowed in the show.

 

Bump. It's two weeks from today.
