Our club is one about celebrating life... And life behind the wheel of design & engineering genius. Early Thursday morning I read news of the passing of a person with a clear understanding of what that means ~ John Cunnyngham. Edwin Barron, a Virginia CC5C supporter and friend to John, was good enough to honor us with these photos and a fitting tribute to the man & his macchina.
John w/the Little Red Buggy, Red Shirt & 500T...
"John was a great Fiat enthusiast and loved his 500T. The more he learned the car and its capabilities the more he pushed it and had more fun.
John's Dragon Companion ~ Ready to Rumble...
I believe no one drove the Dragon [an 11-mile of road, in Tennessee, reported to have 318 curves - edit @] more than John, once he learned about the road and realized how close he was to it he just made it a multi month drive. He would often call and share his experiences and could not wait for us to get together in Fall for the second Fiat On The Dragon reunion - it's in two weeks time.
The Little Red Flirt taking a break...
It's amazing how this little car has brought people together who otherwise would have never met. The enthusiasm and joy it brings is a true celebration with new found friends. I will always remember John and the spirit that carried him to be such a good natured person. I look forward to the Fall drive in his tribute and celebrate on the roads that brought him joy." - Edwin Barron
Taking in the View, but which one...
I would like to recognize John & his Little Red Buggy as honorary members of the Cream City 500 Club as well as commemorate, in other words celebrate, the occasion on our upcoming Gelato e Guidare cruise ~ doing exactly what brought them together with so many other FIAT life enthusiasts.
Thank you, Edwin and the other CC5C representatives lucky enough to drive with the pair. We're certain your upcoming meet will be amazing. Live joyously. Love madly. Drive friendly.
