gamma a.i. aka fulvia a.i. reports in from the wilderness:

well ,it is actually true
winking smiley ... cool smiley
after 25 to 31 years absence (depending on year of manufacture), a # of lucky Lancisti, will participate in an "Event to be Remembered". It has been estimated (ha ha) that "many thousands wished to attend", but that # will actually be some what lower since only Lancia Gammisti will be allowed to participate.

The owners will drive south, north, east & west to arrive. On the same days, all headed to the same destination. All of these Gamma will be heading home ! Isn't that sweet !!

The "many who wish to attend, but can not" can not because this event is restricted to Gammas.
Sorry Cara Lancisti (non Gamma Lancisti) but the parking lot is only "so big" & we don't want to jam the Autostrada for hundreds of km. So, Fulvisti .... please stay home.(:D

It is estimated that 100 "hard corp Gammisti" will actually make it. Some however, will travel in Teams, so less than 100 Gamma will fill the parking lot.. Children in School, Jobs & several intensive "never-ending" Gamma restoration projects will preclude a # of Gammisti from taking the long-way home in their own Gamma. Unfortunately !!; however a # of these "lucky-people" will still attend, as passengers & if asked) drivers.

A Gam Coupe in Japan & the several remaining Coupe in Australia will stay where they currently are.

The greatest large Lancia model ever built, at least 50 yrs ahead of its time, will return ... no no no, not to El Missione San Capistrano ( a famous song of many years ago)... but to Torino, for the 30+ year Anniversary and Mega Gamma International Meeting.

Entrants as far away as UK, Rostock, Torino (home boy's), Sicily, DK & Norway will gather at the Pininfarina Museo to enjoy a relaxed 3 hour, multi-course lunch while swapping tall tales & strange stories (do not forget, we are Gammisti smiling smiley) with special-guests Aldo Brovarone, Designer of Gamma Coupe (built at Pininfarina) & Leonardo Fioravanti, Designer of Gamma Berlina (built at Lancia).

What Tales will They Tell ???

The Mega Gamma Meeting is planned for 3 days; from 23 to 26 Apr 09; is jam-packed with action & "events within the event". A planning committee has been at work for well over 1 year to organize a "once in a life time event". They have promised that the 09 Meeting will outclass & outshine the 24+ year event of 01 in Torino.
Hang Gliding ? Free-Climbing ? Who knows ??

The event starts quite a bit earlier for those traveling from locations as far as 2000km away. Norway! Rostock !
I've heard that there will even be "planned-actions" in "Alpine Rally-Style" enroute ? Hmmm....

A follow-up full color action-report will appear in these pages at the end of April 09.
