2012 Fiat Nationals
|
Only a small band made went to Benalla this year, and whilst we didn't load ourselves up with silverware for the trip home, we certainly enjoyed it.
The weather was hot as usual, but isn't that better than rain and cold? At times we wondered...
Some pics in the gallery now - more to come, and official results soon also.

HISTORIC REGISTRATION
|
Make sure your club membership is current. If it isn't, then don't drive your historically
registered vehicle because it is unregistered and uninsured. It's not worth the risk, so renew now.

Legend of the Lakes Hillclimb - Mount Gambier
|
|
|
Mount Gambier member Andy Gill has been campaigning his Sport Coupe in a variety of events, the highlight of which is the Legend of the Lakes Hillclimb. Mount
Gambier always puts on a great show in the spectacularly beautiful volcanic crater area, whether you compete or just watch.
This year, Andy's improvements to the car have enabled him to knock three seconds off his previous best time, despite missing day one with a fried clutch.

2011 Annual General Meeting
|
The AGM has been done and dusted, and not much has changed really. A small turnout, but all the business was done, and the committee is mostly unchanged; Garren Harrell
will be our new Vice President, and Derek Manning a committee member.
Membership fees are also set at the AGM, and the good news is that our fees will again not change this year.

October Breakfast Run - Oct 2nd 2011
|
Nobody ever seems to tire of driving their Fiats and Lancias through the Adelaide Hills these days, and little wonder because they are looking glorious.
No less than 23 turned up for breakfast, and we drove a bit longer than usual this time, through Clarendon, Kangarilla, McLaren Vale and Mount Compass, before
traversing the beautiful Nangkita Road to get us to Ashbourne and the very welcoming Greenman Inn.
For some of us even that wasn't enough, as we returned home the long way via the Lenswood apple growing region. The apple blossoms are out and looking beautiful,
so if you can, go for a drive through there in the next week or two - you won't regret it.

Classic Adelaide Targa - Sep 15-17th 2011
|
|
|
Guy Standen has quite a history of good drives in tarmac rallying, but the 2011 Classic Adelaide Targa was a high point. With new co driver Andrew Coles on board,
the duo performed beyond everyone's expectations, including their own.
The team performed beautifully - 12th outright, and 6th in Late Classic class.
Look out soon for a more comprehensive article here and in the magazine, but for now just enjoy the pics we've put together in the gallery.

Regular Breakfast Run
|
Every first Sunday of each month, rain or shine, turn up at the Burnside Town
Hall carpark on Portrush Rd (near Cnr Greenhill Rd) at 8am. We will go for a run through the hills followed
by breakfast somewhere, where we can all talk the truth in varying degrees over as many coffees as it takes.
There may be two or twenty of us, but we'll go somewhere anyway.
Whilst this is primarily for our members, anyone who drives and has an interest in Italian cars (particularly Fiats and
Lancias!) is welcome.
We want to have an enjoyable and safe drive - no budding F1 aspirants please.
If drifting, burnouts and cop baiting are your thing, you are definitely not welcome here.
