    The weather was perfect this Sunday for Reina International's 13th annual Italian Car and Bike show. Great turnout! The Reina family delivers exceptional service on any Italian vehicle. I'm a long time happy customer. I have no problem coming from the Northern burbs of Illinois 50 miles into Wisconsin to have my car serviced there. Nothing beats their knowledge and prices in a 100 miles radius! They have 2 service facilities to accommodate all the business. I met many Illinois exotic owners that traveled through the rain Sunday morning to get there. Too bad I missed out on the caravan up there.

    good pics CS - and great looking 360, we were admiring that at the show.
    How hard was the rain during your drive up? By the lake in Milwaukee it was storming pretty hard until not long before the show started.

    Nice show. I went 2 years ago and was suprised at the amount of cars they stuffed on that lot!! The Citroen AMI 6 and new Euro Alfa's and Lancia's made the trip fun. Where else will you see a Alfa 166 and 156 in the US!!

    Reina always has a few never-officially-imported Alfas for sale.
    I think someone local recently bought that really cool color-shifting 166.
    They have a 2000ish Spider in a rather shocking shade of yellow in the showroom now.
    There are at least 2 people driving 156s around Milwaukee, both bought through Reina.

    156s are neat cars, not so much fun on the Nurburgring where I drove a rental 156 sportwagon (traction control killed the fun and it was pretty wallowy, and not in a good way), but I did a very comfortable blast from Dresden to Munich in a 2L sportwagon averaging a hair under 100mph for about 4 hours, and they really are swanky especially with red leather interiors!

    Considering the 156 was styled during 1996 it makes you wonder how many car companies copied the look of both the sedan and sport wagon(JAPAN made almost every 4 door "sports" sedan they made between 2000-2008 look alot like it, with Acura being the worse copier!!) American's never noticed Acura's TL and TSX was a copy of the Alfa, with an ugly Acura grill since they never saw a 156 in person!!
