Just 48hours after our first General meeting, 14 members of IMSMC participated in a static display at the FerrAgosto festivities at Five Dock (what a mouthful!)
This lovely winter’s day began by members meeting at the office works car park in Canada Bay.
After all the Italian made vehicles arrived the carpark looked like something out of the classic motoring era in Italy made up of Fiat 500’s, 850’s, 124’s, Abarth’s, a 128, Topolino even an Alpha!(thankyou Kings) With mighty and not so mighty roars, we left the car
park after a short briefing in cavalcade along Paramatta Rd toward Five Dock.
Our fine array of motoring history was led by local Vince Livaccari who ensured that we took all the convenient roads to get to our destination. Members who attended may have noticed that the tail car, driven by Bruno Bartolotti had a video camera mounted on the roof.... we look forward to seeing the footage!
A conservative estimate places the attendance of FerrAgosto at around 60,000 people and members are convinced that all of them passed us by at least once during the course of the day.
The festa was alive with Italian music, food, entertainers and concrete.... erm stalls as far as the eye could see! Members who attended received a commemorative “Corno” courtesy of the IMSMC to ward off evil thoughts and perhaps even evil motorists!
Canada Bay council was so impressed with our display that we have already received a verbal invitation to display our cars again in 2009! We hope to see you there next year!
