We met Saturday morning at a local cafe for breakfast. There were 8 Spiders, a 124 Coupe, and an X1/9 present.
After breakfast we went to see a local car guy's car collection, he had several AMCs, plus some other interesting machinery.
From there we went to Harris Hill Road roadcourse, a neat racetrack close to Austin. Bo, the manager is a Fiat guy, so he let us on the track for three different sessions! The last session was pretty quick, and Bo was nice enough to stop every couple of laps and put the faster cars toward the front (there was no passing allowed). It was great fun, I hope we'll go back next year.
After we were done Bo drove Jeff's Coupe and said it was the most powerful Fiat he has seen
Here are some videos of him driving on the track:http://youtu.be/4TzKxOP8IqQ

From there we went to the 'Oasis', a restaurant on a hilltop overlooking a lake. Great view with great food! After this very late lunch we went to a winery, which had a view of the valley below. We stayed until dark, then drove to a nearby town for dinner in a gourmet restaurant. This was another neat place, from the outside it looked like a place that might make a decent chicken fried steak, but it actually had the menu of a very nice/fancy restaurant.
Of course we talked our heads off about Fiats and everyone had a great time
