We are pleased to extend an invitation to the Italian Auto Club to participate in the “7th Annual Rally in the Valley and Hot-or-Not Bikini Calendar Photoshoot” on Saturday, October 11, 2008. The rally starts at Cars and Coffee, 9500 S. Eastern Avenue at 9:00am with the first car out at 10:00am. This is a strictly for fun rally lasting about 2-3 hours with trophies going to the cars that the bikini models deem the “Hottest”, the “Cutest” and the “Best for Dates”.

At each checkpoint every car will be photographed with a bikini model as you pull in, and as you “check out” the girls, they will be rating your ride. This is not a timed rally, so you can feel free to hangout at each checkpoint as long as the mood suits you. Each driver will get 12 high quality digital pictures of his ride with 12 different professional models in 12 different settings. So if only one member of your club participates, you will still have enough photos to take to Office Max or Office Depot to print out your very own, very hot, 2009 Italian Auto Club Bikini Calendar.

Since our sponsors are paying for all the models, all 100% of the $30.00 registration fees per car will go to the Nevada Diabetes Association. We hope to count on your support and see a lot of your members here! Thanks!!!

Well it is back behind the wheel of my trusty X1/9 again and so I gave her a nice detail, saddled-up and met some of the gang at the Ford Motor Company in Irvine for the weekly Cars and Coffee event. Today we had Jeff, Ricardo, Mark and Eladio attend – 3 X1/9s and 2 Spiders. After the event, we drove over to Panera Bread on Lake Forest and Rockfield for some breakfast and “bench racing”.

We have decided to make this a regular event for the local FLU-SoCal Chapter. The first Saturday of every month will serve as our meeting, from 7am to 9am, with breakfast and a perhaps a drive immediately following the show. If we get enough participatants, we will be able to request a Featured Marque designation and have our own corral for the show – we wil have to build up to that type of attendence level though.

For now, here are the few pictures I took. I’m not so much interested in the cars as I am hanging out with the gang.
