Raduno Montebello

This year will mark the first ever "Raduno Montebello", a simple gathering of italian car clubs collaborating from Montreal, Ottawa & Toronto at Chateau Montebello for a nice friendly brunch on september 29th

This event is concours-like because our cars will be welcomed to park along the waterfront on a peninsula (should make some awesome photos) and will be completely non-commercial, not advertised to the public. This is sort of like a "for us/ by us" type of event for italian car owners. No fees, no registration, no fundraising...all we ask is that you kindly call the Chateau Montebello to make your reservation for the brunch (50$ per person, tax and tip included). Disclaimer: the organizers are in no way affiliated with the establishment.

(Please note that the rain date will be october 6th) The following clubs have confirmed their presence:

-Club Fiat Montreal
-Toronto Fiat Club
-Ferrari Club of America (FCA Ottawa)
-Ferrari Club of America (FCA Montreal)
-ICCO Italian Car Club of Ottawa
-Alfa Romeo Club of Ottawa
-Club Alfa Romeo Montreal
-VEA Véhicules Européens d'Autrefois
-Club Ferrari Luigi Québec
-Team Pantera Canada
-Team Pantera USA

Our goal is to have at least 100 beautiful cars on site, make new friends and have a great brunch together!!! Please join us....All Italian cars welcome!

Brunch will be at 1pm

This looks cool!

 

Thanks, feel free to join us...

 

Gary, it's about a 4 hour drive from your place. Most of the Toronto participants are making the drive to Ottawa the night before and then leaving at 9:30am with the Ottawa clubs towards the Chateau which is about 50 mins away.

Your Espada would just elevate this gathering tremendously and I'm sure showing it off to a different crowd would be fun for you as well. I sincerely hope to see you there, would be great!

 

I'll see if any of the Italian cars from my group wants to go and if I can convince my wife.

cheers,

Like all old cars that are driven I , as of last week am in need of a master cylinder for my clutch ! It's being made as of this writing and should I get it here and installed in time then I'm in !
Meantime to ease my sorrow I'm at Pearson awaiting a flight to Uk to take in good wood revival this weekend . I met a gent at Amelia whom I just spoke with moments ago to confirm my seat time in his GT40 ! A real Gt 40 !
I am in Toronto airport waiting a flight and he's waiting to leave in JFK .

Gary, I am keeping my finger crossed until the 29th but if it ain't fixed, tow it there!!! LOL At least we'll get to look at it.

 

Would be awesome to see you guys there, definetly!!!!

 

There will be a wedding ceremony on the grounds of the Chateau on the day of the Raduno. Therefore we kindly ask that you don't leave or start your engine between 3pm & 3:30pm.

Thank you for your cooperation.

 

Based on current confirmations, it looks like we'll be easily over 100 cars at this event....can't wait for sunday!!!!

 

Hi... from Ottawa. Is it too late to join in for Sunday?

 

Absolutely not, just let me know how many cars/people you'll be.

You can join the departure group at the Scotiabank parking on Preston st. in little italy at 9:30am sunday morning.

 

1 car (360) and 2 people...me and my 11 year old daughter.

 

A few of the Ottawa guys are meeting up at Kettleman's just across from the Orleans Mall for 9 am... planned departure between 9:15 and 9:30...

DF

 

Yes, some of the FCA guys are going there so there are 2 possible departure points from Ottawa:

Kettleman's at 9:15
Scotiabank on Preston (Little Italy) at 9:30

Bravo Fabrizio for a most fantastic turnout of Italy's finest creations! A true car guy 's wet dream! I'm very greatful for being a part of it.... This might just inspire me to get my Alfa ready for the next Raduno!

 

Many thanks to Fab, Michel, Hagen, Dave, Delio, Marc, Bernie, Alain, Richard and all others who put their hearts into this event. Don't know the final count but certainly 150+.
