We've had interesting special guests before and here is another one to not miss! Our special guest in May is Brian Shrader, who has a presentation worth seeing and hearing. 10,000 miles and adventures crossing a couple continents... Brian's been featured on NWCN and on Travels With Rick Steves. It's a fun and unique story.

When: May 8th 6:30-9:30 PM
Where: Lombardi's Cucina
695 NW Gilman Blvd Issaquah 98027

Join us for food and conversation at 6:30 or simply the meeting around 7:30, or the presentation just after 8 PM. You choose but don't miss it! Brian is a NW resident who ran the benefit road rally from London to Magnolia known as the Mongol Rally. The rally is a fund raiser for Mercy Corps, who does fantastic work throughout the world helping with support of rural people and education. The rally takes 6 weeks to drive the 10,000 miles, and includes as many as 500 teams. Brian will share tales of his 6 person team, the two underpowered 2007 Fiat Puntos which they leave behind to be auctioned so the money goes to the benefit. Its really an amazing adventure across Europe, but also Turkey, Georgia, the Caspian Sea, then Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and other challenging locales like the Gobi Desert. This is both exciting and scary at the same time. They learned what Rescue Tape is and what its for.

Brian is now planning another rally around Baltic Sea countries in a SAAB 9000 and he'll share info about this and future adventures! Read more

Celebrating the Giulia 50th Anniversary
March 1, 2012. Alfa Canadese will be helping to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the introduction on June 27, 1962 of the Giulia Ti Sedan. This model was the start of the 105 series, one of Alfas most successful post war production series and arguably its most important. We expect many examples to be present and on display in the hotel parking lot, as well as at our champagne and cake celebration at the Concorso.

We invite the owners of all versions of the Giulia Sedan (Super, Ti or Ti Super) to join us in the celebration of this historic automobile. As an extra incentive, each Giulia Sedan that participates will receive a special commemorative Giulia 50th Anniversary t-shirt and window sticker.
