Thanks for a Great Tech Session – On to the next Events!

I want to thank everyone who came out for the tech session.  We had an exceptional turnout, including lots of new faces and Fiats to join the Alfas.

I want to especially thank Ruth and Vince for holding the event, especially under less than ideal circumstances!

We’re springing to life with events over the next few months!!

On April 29th, the Wheels of Wayne car show will take place.  Bring out your Alfa and show it off!! Don’t forget to register first!

On May 5th, Ragtops and Roadsters will be holding their open house.  This is always a super event.  Although they specialize in British cars, they dabble in Italian cars, as well.

On May 20th, come to south Philadelphia for an Italian festival and car show.  If you remember how much fun the Headhouse Square show was, this event will bring back memories.  Remember, you need to pre-register for this event.  For more information, go here.

On Saturday, May 26th, we’ll hold our Spring Tour.  Like last year, we’ll start at Washington Crossing and head north, crisscrossing the Delaware river along the way.  We’ll make some pit stops to enjoy the sights and stretch our legs.  Then, we’ll finish off in Doylestown for lunch and an after-lunch visit to the Mercer Museum, where they are featuring an exhibition on the colorful history of racing in Bucks County.  Stay tuned for more details.

Finally, on May 27th, join us at LaLocanda for a Monaco Grand Prix brunch.

See our Events Calendar for details.

Get Ready for Spring! – Tech Session at Falcones – April 14th

Despite the snow dump, spring is officially here.  To help you get in the mood, and get your favorite cars ready to drive, we’ll be having our annual Spring Tech Session on Saturday, April 14th, at Nick Falcone Enterprises in Bala Cynwyd, PA.

The tech session will start at 10am.  We’ll have plenty of coffee and snacks.

As of now, we don’t have any particular topic, but that’s never stopped us before.  Bring your cars and your problems, and we’ll help you out with some Alfa therapy.

No need to rsvp, just show up.  See you there!!

Fall Winery (and Cheese!) Tour – Sunday, November 12th

Our last driving event for the year will be our fall tour. We’ve rescheduled it to November 12th to avoid any Eagles’ fans’ conflicts – so now, you have no excuses!

This year, we’ll be visiting two wineries, as well as a cheese farm. After the second winery, we’ll drive a short distance to a local Italian restaurant for a late, Sunday lunch.
The club will meet at Wawa in Chester Springs – see map below – before 10:30am. There, you’ll be able to tank up on gas and coffee. We’ll leave promptly at 10:45 and drive to our first stop, Stone Barn Cellars Winery www.stonebarncellars.com where we’ll sample their wines and enjoy a few club provided snacks. Cost for wine tasting there is $10. From there, we’ll hit the back roads and stop at Amazing Acres Goat Dairy www.amazingacresgoatdairy.com where they’ve graciously agreed to give us a tour of their cheese making facility, and will let us enjoy their goats. After the goat farm, it’s back to some beautiful roads for a half hour drive to Manatawny Creek Winery www.manatawnycreekwinery.com for another sampling of Pennsylvania’s best wines, some more snacks, and maybe some goat cheese. Tasting at Manatawny Creek is $5, refundable with wine purchase. Finally, once we’ve finished sampling, we’ll take a short drive to Vincenzo’s www.vincenzosristorante.org for a Sunday meal together. You can check out the menu online – both Lunch and Dinner selections should be available.

Click on the map below to enlarge it:

The total tour length is only about 35 miles, but with stops, tours, tastings and pettings, expect to arrive for lunch around 2pm. You can find a map of the approximate route here: tour map.

There is no cost to participate in the tour. The club will provide some snacks to go with the wine tastings. Participants are responsible for the costs of tastings and lunches – from the restaurant’s menu.

If you want to attend, please RSVP to Bob Brady at: 302.420.6529 or preferably, robertanthonybrady@gmail.com by Friday, November 10th.

Hope you can make it!!
