4 Bridges to Pittwater 500 Run

On Sunday 25th November 16 of our Cinquini gathered at La Montage at Lillyfield for our four bridges run to The Royal Motor Yacht Club at Broken Bay on the Pittwater.

We were once again blessed with great weather ideal for our 500 Classics.

Heading off in convoy toward The Anzac Bridge, continuing onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge, followed by the historic Long Gully Suspension Bridge at Northbridge and finally Roseville Bridge.

On arriving at the Yacht Club we took the opportunity of numerous photo opportunities with the breathtaking views of the marina and yachts in the background. 

Breakfast was served out on the marina right on the waterfront with 38 members and guests enjoying the exceptional food.

Another enjoyable day filled with passion, friendship and camaraderie.

Thank you to all the members who attended and it’s with your support and enthusiasm that we continue to organize these exceptional drives where we get to enjoy our wonderful cars.

Classic Yass 2018

What a wonderful weekend it was celebrating 'all things classic' at the Classic Yass on Saturday 3rd November 2018.

 21x IMSMC cars were present and overall 89 historic clubs participated in this years.This was the second year that IMSMC participated in the event  in Banjo Paterson and Riverbank Parks in the historic town of Yass.

The event featured a sensational Motor Show of 389 x Classic Cars, Motorcycles and Historic Racing Cars, as well as the thrills of the Billy Cart Derby a vintage fashion competition and many market stalls.

This is what some of the members said about this event:

"Was my first time attending this event and I was amazed to see how many classic cars there were!"" It Was great to catch up with all our IMSMC friends"" Great dinner on Saturday night and entertainment from the band playing 50s, 60s and 70s music. Was great to have a dance with friends""What a beautiful drive and weekend it was to cruise in our classic Italian cars"

My highlight of the weekend was cruising in our Alfa Spyder down the freeway, getting to see all the other Italian cars represented at this event and looking at all the different cars at the show.
I thought this was a great family day and was nice that we could make a weekend of it! 

I was so proud that, my Nonno, Charlie Losinno won the Presidents award and John Di Rocco won the Best European Car award that was presented by Jim Richards, past racing car driver.

A big thank you to our committee for organising this spectacular event. Thank you to our 58 members & family who participated with their classic cars and for your company at another great IMSMC event!
