Had a great time!

My car ran great and I got to visit a lot of my Fiat buddies. The drive Sunday was refreshing, with beautiful scenery and fun roads. My four hour drive home was also great and uneventful! Thanks go to John Montgomery for putting this show on every year.
 
Great fun...

It was nice to see everyone again and get a chance to drive the X in the mountains. The show was nice, food great and thanks to Jeff D. for putting us up for the night. Thanks John M. for always making this happen.

Car ran great except for the starting issue, had to roll it off a couple of times, never stranded though.

Good to see everyone there!

The drive on Sunday was nice and began with a customary breakdown of FIATs! Denise had a small spark plug issue and a Spider had to drop out due to no alternator output. No other issues cropped up and the rest of the trip was excellent. There were three X's, an Alfa GTV6, an 850 spider and a brand new Ferarri GTO (one of two in the US). Craig and a 2000 Spider guy met us up in Dahlonega. Brett, wish you could have been there!

Wow...

Wish I could have stayed for the drive. I had to make tracks to get home a little earlier than expected. Would have loved to follow that Ferrari, or any of you guys of course. With my car not starting consistently, I didn't want to hold anyone up. It only failed twice over the whole weekend but I never knew when it was not going to start.

Glad things went well.
 
Sounds like a great time. Hope we have something this year. Me being a newbie (1987 X1/9) and in the Atlanta area (Gwinnett) just trying to find different events and stuff.
