Autofesta 2023

On Sunday the 29th of October, 55 IMSMC cars were displayed in Pioneer park, Leichhardt, as our contribution to AUTOFESTA! 64 members made an appearance including, partners, family and friends, we were well represented with a group of well over 100!

The day began with the passionisti arriving between 8 and 9am, creating a scene from any "Boschetto" in Italy! All classics including Historic & Modern motor vehicles, gleaming in the sun of a PERFECT spring day (almost verging on summer). With that in mind, we sought shelter under the biggest tree in the park. It wasn't long before all the "home made goodies" were shared by the wonderful people of IMSMC.

 Norton street was full of fine cuisine & produce... mostly Italian and some international stalls.

 The festa was buzzing!

 Every IMSMC member that made an appearance received a coffee voucher from "The Club", which was redeemed at Grinders coffee - The total amount of dollars spent being donated to charity! Further, every driver was given a voucher to redeem a plate of gnocchi from "The Pasta Man!" This was offered by an "anonymous sponsor", in appreciation of our enthusiasm and contribution to the day!

Two time slots were "organised" for departure. 2:30pm & 5:00pm. Thankyou to the members that moved off in an orderly manner. One member was stopped by the Police chief inspector ( doing his due diligence) ,as he was exiting at 2:30pm. The Police quickly noticed and highlighted the presence of a number of our members escorting our 2:30pm departures along the exit path.  Thankyou , Leo, Andy, Gerardo & Daniel ( or was it Christian?).

A GREAT Day... certainly one of our most popular events.
