A great time was had by all. Sean's white '74 is out of the picture - that's what happens when you get there on time (instead of 30 min early, like the rest of us nuts!)....
Thanks for Coming!
PS. We are very glad that no one had any pressing issues - we may have overwhelmed the restaurant staff with a group of 24... But we didn't really come for the food. And the beer was cold....
From the FIAT group....
The FIAT group had a great time at the meet-up with the Southern AZ Pantera club. Great bunch of folks!
Here is a link to the write-up I posted on the FIAT blog:
EDITOR's COMMENT - Great pictures, but it took me a while to find the Panteras! Dave is more artistic than I am.

There is a lot of interest among the members in the FIAT group in doing more activities together with the Southern AZ Panteras club.
We have a Sunday Drive up to Kitt Peak ("Picnic on the Peak") currently in work for September 14th, a dinner get-together (Italian, of course) planned for October 17 (place TBD), and another Sunday Drive for the Sonoita / Elgin area on the calendar for November 9. (These events are subject to change based on availability of folks and interest.)
There is also talk of getting a few cars to show at the Sierra Vista Car Club's "Cars in the Park" on October 11. If any or all of these sound like something the Southern AZ Panteras would like to do together with the FIAT group that would be great! Let me know and we can start coordinating as needed.
