None.

What in particular attracted you to this motor vehicle?:

After one memorable drive through Glenmore Park in a yellow Series 1 850 owned by Leo DiRocco, I just knew this was the car for me. I loved the shape of the car & the sound of the engine at 4000 rpm.

Most memorable moment:

The Most memorable moment would have to be the drive to Motorfest 2008. Being that it was my first ‘longer’ drive in my 850, it was a good chance to get to ‘know’ the car.

If you could have one Italian made car, which would you choose and why:

More 850s..!!!!

What appeals to you about your club, the IMSMC?

The fact that we can all get together on a weekend, go for a drive and enjoy a GOOD time with friends/family and have a few drinks.
