Finally settling into a new week leaving another Freakout as part of history. The ride home took 12 hours, close to 600 miles. Freakout 2017 takes place next July in Milwaukee WI., about 1000 miles from Montreal. Discussion to come with phaetn and 4uall. In the meantime here's some momentos from Detroit:

Abarth then and now

Canadian enthusiast imports Seicento from Italy

Fiat 126 (I believe an award winner) driven across Poland and UK and shipped across Atlantic in order to attend:
Image
Image
Image



This 85.5 Roadster Salon Spider won first place in its class. I got a chance to speak to the owner who is a super nice guy. The car is really beautiful with much attention to detail. Yes there are folks who buy them!

Image

A "bit of rain" (ok, a 2 hr soaker) didn't shoo away most folks:

My stash: black bag is all spare parts for use for myself or anybody else in trouble. The Rotella, well that's a different story.

Nite out:
Image
Yuck!
Image
Image

My buddy phaetn who turns out to be an awesome roommate often passes me during the journey and waits for my thumbs up, making sure I'm not cruising while asleep.

Freak Out Parade Lap at M1 Concourse. Watch your speaker volume.....sorry about the wind noise and bad videotography....corners were a little tricky one handed.

Two of my favorites from FFO16

Image

This one has me thinking that I need to make room in the driveway for one more Spider. I've always dreamed of having a daily driver Spider that would not be irreplaceable should someone run into it.
Image

Mine is the yellow one in the forground. The Positano Yellow one in the background won the 'Early Spider' class.

Hi Nick!

Our trip home was uneventful. How about yours? Hopefully everyone made it back to Ontario ok and the border crossing was not too bad. It sure was good to meet you guys. I wish I had more time to hang out with your group. I don't think that I had a chance to take a good look at your Spider. It was my first FFO and I think I was a bit overwhelmed by the number of cars to ogle.
Thanks,
Tim

Glad to hear everyone made it home safely. I'll check the facebook page out. I'll try to post the rest of my photos too.
