BIG THINGS, small packages

Benvenuti amici!

Have a conversation with my father about the training & philosophy of Bruce Lee while listening to the eclectic musical catalog of Prince Rogers Nelson and you'll get a better understanding on what floats the boat of this blog author/publisher. Bruce Lee and Prince Rogers Nelson, passed to the next in my lifetime. I am old enough to understand and have a vehicle to express what that means (in the case of the latter). I believe all knowledge is relative. It's connected just as we're connected. Observe...

Cars + Coffee 500 Club

Benvenuti amici!

We've published a few memorable stories in the three years of CC5C blog activity. We thought it would be a good idea to list our top picks. Pour yourself a strong cup of coffee, and reintroduce yourself to our blog with the change of our blogger address (http://cc5club.blogspot.com). Without further ado, here is a list of Mighty Mouse Militia Approved entries... Read Sexy!

La Famiglia is the abbreviated and illustrated story of how the modern FIAT 500 came to be. It's important to know from where you come.

La Macchina Migliore provides the proof FIAT is not only far from a one-trick-pony, but the company is responsible for the better portion of cars that put the European continent in 4-wheel motion.

FIAT Nippon is the entry that ties FIAT S.p.A. to the birth of the Japanese automobile industry. You won't believe your eyes.

Going Global proves the modern iteration of FIAT S.p.A. is the realization of a lifelong dream of the company founder.

La Lettera G includes some very important FIAT-related birthdays.

La Storia del Scorpione e Topolino is only one in what will be countless entries lauding Dante Giacosa & Karl "Carlo" Abarth as two of the most prolific automotive geniuses of all time.

Scorpio Rising… as if we could resist a focus on the man himself.

La 500T e Giannini begs the question: Did you really think Giacosa & Abarth democratized automobile racing without challengers? And it ties the birth of Giannini Automobili to a modern FIAT offering.

Prestigio. Purezza. Passione. is a glimpse into the world of Autobianchi.

Amici di Famiglia… because friends of the family help get it done.

Heralds of Heritage is a call from the restless spectre of the true Scorpion King. Read this entry and exact his will.

Return of the Spiders is the prequel to "Heralds of Heritage".

X Marks the Spot… because FIATisti would never forgive the lack of at least one entry about this model.

850% FIAT… no further explanation is necessary.

Una Breve Storia del Motorsport is the not-oft-told story of the FIAT S.p.A. heritage of speed. Did you know the first ever purpose-built race car was created by FIAT? No? Well, you definitely do not want to miss this entry.

Jolly Club USA is the e-nterview style story of the reincarnation of the original Italian performance pirates. This time it's an invasion on USAmerican soil brought to you by HPSI & Eurocompulsion.

Cos'è un FIAT 500 Club? is a story you may find inspires you to start your own club… or at least look into joining an existing one.

Mighty Mouse Militia… CC5C offers thanks to a global readership while heralding ABARTH and GIANNINI. Respect.

FIAT al Lavoro: Nella Città… Not only playing but working in the City.

FIATs. Fotos. Slovenia. Me. is an open invitation for you to join the missus & I in her homeland and my second dream retiring place (just after Puerto Rico).

That is my list of 20 Cars + Coffee 500 Club must reads. Feel free to explore the blog for more. Share your thoughts and suggestions via the CC5Club FB page. Make every read… and drive… a sexy adventure.
