First, I want to express my great appreciation to Vince and Ruth for hosting our annual Tech Session at their shop. It was a fantastic turnout with everything from an Alfa 155, Ferrari Testarossa, Fiat Multipla, Spiders galore, and everything in between. Thanks to Bill and Ellen, we all had some yummy treats to keep us going as we reconnected with folks we haven’t seen in a while and swapped all stories Alfa. Inside the shop, we got to see Pat Boova’s RHD GTV race car up on the lift awaiting its new powerplant. Outside, Vince and Ruth’s Twinspark GTV racecar was on view, displaying its many nifty bits. Time flew and before we knew it, it was afternoon and time to return home to awaiting chores. The smiles on everyone’s faces showed what a great success it was. Thanks again, to our hosts, organizers and everyone who made it a wonderful event.

After some confusion (on my part) Steve Harter made sure everyone knew the inaugural 2024 Cars & Cigars event was taking place on Sunday, April 21st. Although I didn’t make it, the photos Steve sent along show what a great success it was. If you haven’t been to a Cars & Cigars before, you should consider it. It’s a great way to finish off the weekend, hanging out among beautiful cars, enthusiastic participants and in a town full of great food and drink options.
