Well, I've booked a room at the Italian Car Fest, and will bringing the world's most overspent-on Mondial. Anyone want to have an FChat get together in Dallas Fri/Sat or convoy from San Antonio?
Great news Russ, I'll finally get to meet you. I've only seen you on TV. FYI Friday night many go to the happy hour at the Gaylord. Its a good time. Saturday night most of the FC crowd hangs out downtown Grapevine. Grapefest is usually going on same weekend and is a good time.
But of course this year, ICF has a cool guest speaker Saturday night (Tom Tjaarda). I imagine the Saturday night event will draw more people than it has in the past for this reason alone.
Great! More from out-of-town. Should be a great show this year. A couple major cars that are scheduled to attend are the Maserati MC12 and the 1930 Alfa 6C 1750 GS Zagato-bodied. The V8 Montreal is scheduled to be back, with a fresh repaint and a hot-off-the-press magazine article. The owner will also be bringing his Callaway twin-turbo Alfa GTV6. And the best-in-show from ABCDE, the 1967 Alfa Quattroruote GS Zagato roadster, will be there. This car was designed to resemble the 6C 1750 - like the one that will be at the show. And the best-in-show Alfa Giulietta spider from this years Alfa convention will be there as well.
It is from Boardwalk. My understanding is it back east undergoing testing, certification or something like that.
This sounds great guys - will be at the Gaylord, so let's try to get together. Anyone else from San Antonio going?
Hi, Russ- We feel very honored that so many San Antonio, Houston, Austin and Oklahoma City enthusiasts have adopted ItaianCarFest as their own. And not only are we getting many entries from all over Texas, but we are having people from all over buying tickets to attend the 'Saturday Evening at Gaylord' featuring Tom Tjaarda. Since this is his first visit to Texas, this is especially gratifying. And adding to the draw fro Saturday's waterfront show, is the Maserati MC12 that will be on the showfield. I know putting together a caravan can be difficult, but because it is fun to travel with friends, I hope you can set one up. In any case, see you soon! -Jerry Lee Phillips 817 521-4400
