Chi-FLU had the season's first event today! Not the best weather, we lucked out
and didn't get rained
on. Most drove separately, but we all enjoyed the small country roads, and
gathered in Hampshire at
the Chick 'n Dip.

We all had a great time meeting new members, and checking out each other's
cars. A few favorite Fiat
stories were told & re-told, and even a few tall tales!

It was nice to see a few cars back on the road after some major work, and nice
to see some cars we'd
only heard about so far.

As always, the best part was just getting to talk to everyone, compare notes,
and pop-hoods for some
old fashioned show-and-tell.

All too soon it was time to head home, and although it never quite rained, I
was surprised to find I
managed to get sunburned anyway!
