Italian cars are an interesting bunch. You have you're supercars like Ferrari, Lamorghini, Maserati and Pagani and then you have budget cars like Fiat, Alfa Romera and Lancia along with I'm sure some other ones but in any case once a year in the middle of October here in Boise, ID owners of these types of cars meet up along with Italian bike owners for a car show. This year it was held on Oct 11 at a church parking lot.
Unfortunately due to a wayword crazy snow storm on the previous day and forecasted rain and a cold ass wind during the show the turn out this year for the show was rather small. All of 5 cars showed up and two Vespa Scooters. In attendance at the show was a Maserati/Chrysler thing a lovely Ferrari 250 GTE a run of the mill Ferrari 348TS an interesting Lancia with a moose/Ferrari hybrid crest and last but least a trailer towing Fiat X19. I really like the older 25oGTE as that is a classic Ferrari something other than those crazy red rockets most people go crazy about. Not that I don't like those crazy red rockets it's just if you got them together the 250GTE has more class and character. Funny thing is that I found out that the owner is the guy who races the lil' yellow radical at the autocross events and I was pretty shocked.
So with that the show was pretty much a bust honestly but you really can't blame anyone but the crappy weather and the organizers are thinking of moving the show to the end of September when it's still a bit nicer outside and relocating to a new Italian Restaurant closer to Boise. Hopefully that will gather more interest and more cars for next years show. You can find all of the pictures on flickr they are located at the end.
