September Breakfast Rain Date September 13th
















Due to inclement weather via Tropical Storm Hanna, our 1st Saturday get-together was postponed to the 13th and we had great weather!

Thank you Daniel (Ricambi America), Peter Krause, Matt, and Adam for coming out. Shawn brought his Pantera which sounded awesome. Adam brought something special!

As a reminder, also keep in mind that the Hurricane Region of the Porsche Club of American will be hosting Oktoberfest in Cary on September 27th. For more details, visit the following address: http://hur.pca.org/OktoberFest/OktoberFest0809flyer.pdf

Well guys...each month, someone from our group shows up in something special. July was Woody's Audi R8, last month we had a gorgeous red Ferrari 599GTB, and this month was no exception. This past weekend, Adam (usually drives his silver Lambo Countach) showed up with his newly acquired and quite rare Lamborghini LM02. Damn!

















Yes...that is a Lamborghini V12 engine under the hood!...and she sounds sweet!

Triangle Italians: September 6th Gathering

Triangle Italians will be hosting our monthly breakfast meeting on Saturday, September 6th at the Brier Creek Commons shopping center at the junction of Highway 70/Glenwood Ave and Interstate 540.


We'll meet @ 9:00AM.Breakfast and coffee will be available from Camille's Sidewalk Cafe, Caribou Coffee, and Bruegger's Bagels. We will be gathering in the outer parking lot near Chili's so that we can be close to all three locations.


For those in the Cary / Morrisville / Apex area, we'll meet at Leith Pre-Owned around 8:30AM and caravan from there...always a great drive.


In addition to our regular meet-n-greet, Joel Hoffman (one of our regulars) will be collecting donations for his 2-day endurance ride in The MS Bike Tour to be held in New Bern, NC on September 13th & 14th. If you have been to some of the Triangle Italians gatherings, you’ve probably met Lauren and Joel. Joel is one of several regularly attending 308 owners and occasionally drives his green Innocenti Mini Cooper. Lauren’s the one using the blue walker to get around the event site. Any donation large or small will be greatly appreciated!


Look forward to seeing all the area Italians out and about!

June 5th Gathering

Triangle Italians will be doing something a little different for our June 5th get-together. Rather than meeting @ Brier Creek for breakfast, we’ll be driving to VIR to watch the Gold Cup Historic Races.

We’ll be meeting at Sheetz on the corner of T.W. Alexander & South Miami Blvd (actual address is 3021 South Miami Blvd). The plan is to meet ~ 7:00AM, gas-up, get coffee, leave, and arrive @ VIR around 8:30AM.

Tickets for the Saturday races are $15.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and assembling a good caravan of Ferrari’s for our drive to VIR!

Triangle Italians - May 3rd Breakfast

Triangle Italians will be hosting our monthly breakfast meeting on Saturday, May 3rd at the Brier Creek Commons shopping center at the junction of Highway 70/Glenwood Ave and Interstate 540. We'll meet @ 9:00AM.

Breakfast and coffee will be available from Camille's Sidewalk Cafe, Caribou Coffee, and Bruegger's Bagels. We'll be in the parking lot near Camille's. Please park out towards the center of the lot so that we are not interfering with normal customers.

Track Prep Tech Session:
For those interested, we'll be headed over to Apex Vintage around 10:30 - 10:45 for a shop tour and track prep tech session. This will be a great opportunity for those participating in the May 17/18 FCA event @ VIR. Apex Vintage will complete a track prep for one early model (70's - 80's vintage) and one late model (90's - current). We'll also have a shop tour and look at having a motorcycle instructor explain the specifics of preparing a motorcycle for a track day.

We'll see on May 3rd!!

April Recap

We had our inclement weather rainy day make up breakfast this morning and while it was small, we had some pretty cool cars come out. A special thank you goes out to Adam for bringing out his stunning 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition. That alone made getting up this morning worth it. However, that wasn't the only beautiful Italian out there, so thank you to everyone else who came out. You can view pictures at the following address:
