This last weekend the Nation's Capital played host to an Italian Car, Motorcycle and Motor Scooter event that attracts participants and their vehicles from across our magnificent country.
It is hard to guess how many cars were there, but I did hear that 64 exotic cars were there comprised of Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati.
Alfa Romeo and Fiat were extremely well represented too; however Lancia probably came last in the numbers (just as well I took mine).
Overall there would have been a few hundred cars.
Truth be known there were not too many Maseratis there either, but I will load the shots of those that I saw.
Featured model of this year's event was the Khamsin, so there were a few nice ones there as you will see.
I suspect the lack of numbers will be rectified at next year's event when the Melbourne Maserati Group arrives in mass!
650kms each way is a lot of travel time to come familiar with your car.
In one of the shots of the red Khamsin you may notice a camera tripod in the foreground.
This was Fletch doing an interview with the owner for a forthcoming episode of Classic Restos.
Sorry the order of the photos is jumbled and the quality is not as good as I would like.

Alan,
It was a very easy drive indeed.
I worked out I had to travel along as many roads as I would driving to work, yet one is a little over 10km & the 650km.
Amazing really.
I think Roger is up for a trip next year as well.
There were lots of recent model Ferraris & Lamborghinis as well, but I tend to see them a lot in South Yarra so I did not take photos.
Some lovely old Fiats & Alfa Romeos as well.
Every owner I spoke to was very friendly as well, so it all made for a great weekend.
