Benvenuti amici!
This is the season the CC5C Planning Committee sits down to decide on the events for the coming year. We break our events up into Normale (laid-back, people-centric) and Sportivo (full-on, car-centric) activities. This is keeping in the tradition of FIAT model trims and informs attendees of what they can expect when they join us.
But 2016 isn't over yet and [MKE] local members dream up reasons to hang out all the time. Park your FIAT during the winter months? No worries... you may end up hosting a visit from the club. Check out what we have planned. We trust it may inspire you to get out there and have some multi-FIAT fun of your own!
NOVEMBER [2016]
Pep's Cars + Coffee [500] Club
Pep Zastava w/CC5C
Road Class - Normale
CC5C welcomes our first vintage Zastava (Yugoslav-Serbian licensed & built FIAT) to the fold. Pep's 750 is the mechanical ancestor of the modern FIAT 500, FIAT 500L (also built in Serbia) and FIAT 500X. This is an informal morning hang-out session... conversation over coffee and donuts. We'll add a photo session to the mix if weather permits.
