| August 5, 2006 - Little Italy's Italian
Motorsports Show is staged on on 8 blocks in the Little Italy area of San
Diego. They segregated marques by blocking off a full block for each
of Detomaso, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Ducati and
one block mostly dedicated to Symbolic Motors.
This show was a like a mini Concorso Italiano. For those of us
not able to make it to Monterey this year, it provided an adequate
overload of Itialian Beauties.
We had 15 Panteras and one Mangusta. The weather couldn't have
been better.

The street and the shade were perfect. Unfortunately, we were on the
farthest block of show. I'm not sure if all the folks even knew we
were here. Nonetheless, we there were quite a few visitors.

The Ferrari Club was chock-a-block with prancing horses, including this
stunning 365 GTB4 Daytona belonging to a friend of Klaus'. It was
signed by Phil Hill, with the caption "Thanks for the ride!"
