October 21st Meeting at Mama Rosa's Hampton

Hope to see you all Alfisti on Monday at Mama Rosa's at 7 p.m.

We will have trip report of out trip to MAARC 30th Anniversary party in Raleigh Durham for those of you who are staying home.

Hey Steve - How about this Air Show!

July 2nd, 2011...Houston, we have lift off!

Formula One Breakfast Kick-Off: May 8th

Attenzione Hampton Roads Race Fans:

The first F1 Breakfast for this year will be this Sunday, May 8th. We are trying out a new breakfast venue, and if things go as planned - we will have an entire sports pub to ourselves to enjoy all the F1 action and be as loud and obnoxious as we want!

The new place is The Azalea Inn Restaurant, 2344 East Little Creek Road, Norfolk. Next door is The Time Out Sports Bar, which they own and is interconnected with the restaurant. This outfit has been around a long time and they just recently started serving breakfast on the weekends, which is pretty decent. They will let us in early at 7:30 am so we can watch the pre-race. They will get us some coffee and will be ready to start serving us breakfast at their normal 8:00 opening time.

I don't normally ask this, but please let me know if you plan on coming so I can give them a head count until they get used to us. Google Map is below, I recommend for Peninsula folks to take the Tidewater drive exit (277 B), take a left and head north, then hang a right onto Little Creek Rd. The Norview exit is your only other real option (Chesapeake Blvd exit sends you in the wrong direction).

Hope to see you there!

HR Meeting 21 February - FIAT 500

As Steve has already mentioned, Ludy Milne of Southern FIAT of Norfolk will be bringing a new FIAT 500 to our monthly meeting this month. It should be there by 6pm, so everyone can get a look at it with some daylight left. Ludy will also be doing a small presentation during the meeting as well.

Hope to see you there - should be a fun, interesting meeting for all!

Got this request from Peter Vack about Fiat 500

Steve,

It would be great if 3-4 of the club members could email their opinion of the new Fiat along with some images.

We have fresh report from the West Coast, and it would be nice to also have views from knowledgeable enthusiasts here on the east coast. We could then run a report from both coasts on the Fiat.

Could you suggest this to the members? Just have them email me with their comments and pics. Having impressions and opinions from Alfa club members would be most informative.

Pete

email him at vack@cox.net http://www.velocetoday.com/

Monday Feb 21 HRAC Dinner Meeting

P.S. I am not receiving any kick-back for advertising this event and the fact I won the Piloti shoes at the Wine Tour was pure coincidence! It was Andy's ticket anyway.

Doug Wilson from the Williamsburg British Car Club has invited us to participate in their annual British and European Car Show in the Williamsburg Winery on Sunday, May 3rd. For those who haven't attended in the past, this is a very nice, well run car show with NO MUSTANGS ALLOWED. That means at least one Alfa will win something! Many door prizes are handed out and there are free winery tours. For once, this date does not conflict with the VA Wine Tour as it often has in year's past. Definitely worth a day trip!

Virginia Jaguar Club - Richmond Rally 28 June

The VJC has invited the Alfisti for a club event June 28 which will be a navigational tour around the city of Richmond.

The only necessary instrument is a functional odometer in your car. Each driver and navigator team, will be provided with a set of instructions. The instructions will guide you along a scenic route in and around Richmond. The route will run on paved public roads. There are no speed or time requirements.

If you follow the instructions without any errors, you should arrive at the end point in 60 to 90 minutes. In case you get lost, an "emergency envelope" will help you find your way. Included in the route instructions are several questions. Points will be awarded for correct answers. In the event of a tie, the team with a total elapsed distance closest to the official value will be declared the winner.

The start point will be Sportscar Workshop at 1210 Myers St. (on Boulevard) in Richmond. The first car will roll out at about 10:00 AM on Saturday June 28. The end point is lunch at a downtown Richmond restaurant. The VJC Rally trophy will be awarded after lunch.
