Lago DI Mac 2024

On the weekend of 23 & 24 November, "Lago Di Mac" was held at  Thomas Holt Park, on the foreshore of Lake Macquarie.

 Our members arrived in 3 waves! Saturday saw Charlie, Maria Losinno and Christian Cipri, make their way up the M1 in their historic 500's (a special mention is in order!). A further contingent of 6 IMSMC cars meeting at Thornleigh and arriving later in the same morning. Another 8 IMSMC cars arriving on Sunday morning! In all, our club had a presence of 22 members, a fine contribution showing support to our friends at C.I.A.O. Combined Italian Automobile Organisation!





The two day event allowed for some private time as members explored the local eateries and retail stores. Our Saturday night was spent in the park in the company of visiting members... Pizza, pasta and porchetta rolls on offer.

Sunday was THE DAY! With an estimated 3000+ visitors to the park. More food, glorious food was on offer with more pop up stalls , focaccia, pasta, cakes, gelato and beverage setting up to cater for the large crowd. George Vumbaca, pumping out Italian classic songs on stage!

The driving experience for the weekend, allowed our classics (and modern cars) to enjoy over 350km of driving!

A special mention and cheer goes to "Captain Christian Cipri" who was our lead navigator as we moved from one location to another, completing a visiting experience. Christian also creating a perfect video summary of our weekend.

A great experience, we'll do that again!
