MASERATI EVENTS 2005
Atlanta's
9th Annual Italian Car Day
Atlanta's 9th Annual
Italian Car Day was held on October 8th at Kurt's Restaurant in Duluth,
GA. The wet weather miraculously cleared overnight
just in time for glorious blue skies on Saturday morning. This year's
show included a spectacular array of cars including a $1 million
plus Ferrari Enzo, an awesome F-50, F430, and many examples of other
timeless
Ferraris. Lamborghini owners presented the stellar Murcielago, a
Gallardo, Diablo, Countach, Espada and a rare Uracco. We enjoyed several
Maseratis
including two Boras and a Khamsin along with two wonderful DeTomaso
Panteras. We had dozens of other classics including Alfa Romeos,
Fiats, Lancias and even an Iso Rivolta S4. Other marques included a
Moto Guzzi
and a Vespa Scooter.
Awards included
the top three cars in each marque. Special awards were selected for
Best Modified, People's Choice, Kid's Choice Award
and the
coveted Best of Show Award. A delicious Italian buffet lunch was served
by Kurt's Restaurant and $3000 worth of donated raffle prizes were
given away.
Onsite Shine owner
Jim Thomas gave a free seminar on proper paint care and the secrets
of great detailing. The Gainesville Jaycees (www.gainesvillejaycees.org)
were on hand with their Ferrari 308GTSi raffle car and donated a
raffle
ticket for their December drawing. Tickets are still available for
only $50 each!
Each registered
owner at Italian Car Day received a free 5" x 7" photo
of their car at the show courtesy of Onsite Shine. Additional photographs
are available from Ginger Harris; E mail her at elvisharris@rtmc.net for
more information.
On behalf of the
host club Fiat Lancia Unlimited (www.flu.org), I wish to thank all
Italian vehicle owners, guests, Kurt's Restaurant,
sponsoring
vendors, other Italian Car clubs and event workers that support
Italian
Car Day.
