LA 500 DALL’ALTRA PARTE DEL GLOBO |
Sandro Scarpa, vice presidente del Club, è appena rientrato in Italia dal viaggio turistico in Australia, durato più di un mese. Durante questo viaggio, ha incontrato numerosi cinquecentisti e Club australiani.
Il Fiat Club of New South Wales e l’Italian Made Social Motoring Club hanno organizzato due meeting nei dintorni di Sydney in onore del Fiat 500 Club Italia e del suo rappresentante. Al meeting del Fiat Club del New South Wales erano presenti una quarantina di Fiat storiche una decina delle quali erano “bambini” (ovveroFiat 500) in ottimo stato. Ad Alan Steele, organizzatore del meeting e a Dave Filipetto, presidente del Club, i vivi ringraziamenti del nostro Club. Al meeting dell’Italian Made Social Motoring Club c’erano Ferrari, Maserati, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Fiat e un’altra decina di Fiat 500. John di Rocco, presidente del Club, aveva organizzato il meeting di fronte alla panetteria italiana “Voglia di Pane”. Anche a lui, al fratello Leo e a tutti i soci un caloroso ringraziamento per la magnifica giornata.
A Brisbane Sandro Scarpa ha incontrato Lang e Bev Kidby, che tre anni fa hanno fatto il giro del mondo in 500. Ve li ricordate a Garlenda al meeting del cinquantesimo? Quest’anno stanno progettando di percorrere 18.000 chilometri in Australia a bordo di una Willys Overland del 1915, che Lang ha appena finito di restaurare.
A Melbourne altro incontro con Damon Earwaker: anche lui era presente al meeting del cinquantesimo: aveva spedito la 500 ad Amburgo ed era poi venuto a Garlenda. Su 4PiccoleRuote n.4 del prossimo Luglio è previsto un articolo sugli incontri australiani. QUI puoi vedere l’articolo (in inglese) riguardante l’evento organizzato dal Fiat Club of New South Wales all’Ansell Park di Sidney, pubblicato sulla newsletter Fiat focus di Aprile 2010.
