Great pics from what must have been a spectacular event! Nice Italian cars including some beautiful Alfas and even a wannabe-1300 cc Fiat X1/9 with Cromodora wheels - and a CanAm Spyder.

A couple of questions: Do you know what the story is with that fascinating Miata conversion? And what kind of neo-classic car is that black one in the middle there?

I can't answer any questions about the cars.  I can tell you that this event goes on every weekend and I will be posting a thread like this each weekend.

Thanks to MaxN at CNC Pics!

Every weekend?

Oh, how I envy you people who live in areas where classic and exotic cars are seen regularly. Here in Norway, you'd be lucky to see a couple of Porsches in a week.

I live in a town of 500 people.  You are lucky to see a Porsche once a month.

Every weekend.  ;D

I think the Miata is a Pitcrew Racing Miata conversion.

You're right, and there are a lot of spanish Santana too...and another strange "humveeish" vehicle used by the Albanese army...I thought it would be nice to post a tread with all those vehicles, but then I realize that probably this is not a good idea...BTW I'm not able to open the pages with more than 1 pic (or with a big one), that's why I can not join you in the latest multiple puzzles. :-\, and of course  I'm not able see those cars!
