18 Club cars, along with 60+ members, family & friends, created a wonderful display on Macquarrie street at the NRMA motorfest, held on Australia Day, in Sydney. We were in the company of Domenico Romano (Hon. President of Fiat 500 Club Italia). Domenico was particularly impressed to see 8 x Fiat 500's that contributed to our display. Naturally Domenico has fallen in Love with "Our City Of Sydney", as member Michael Stivala & wife Cathy, assisted by taking Domenico to our
famous Sydney landmarks.
Each member that attended with their Fiat 500, received a Fiat 500 Club Italia, full length visor decal, courtesy of Domenico. The remaining IMSMC members of Fiat 500 Club Italia, will receive their visor decal at upcoming events & opportunities.
New member Nick Vasile, brought the car of "another new member", Peter Cartwright. A wonderfully restored Fiat Abarth 1000TC. We welcome you both and we look forward to sharing many "motoring moments" in the future.
The day was full of family entertainment; music,international food & wine throughout Hyde Park. From what appeared to present itself initially as a rainy day, the weather settled with sunshine for the bulk of the afternoon, creating a very comfortable environment for all.
At the conclusion of the day, club secretary Lino De Iulio, presented Domenico with his 2012 NRMA Motorfest medallion. It was accepted with grattituide. We have been assurred that this will be placed in the trophy cabinet in the Museum in Garlenda, proudly displaying another peice of Australia!
Happy Australia Day!
