Huub promised, in advance: "the most peculiar & bizarre Lancia meeting ever.
A Fulvia trip through outer space and through time".
This is was & more. I am still reeling from the (all positive) peculiarities, bizarreness, outer-space travel & total "no time yet" to review the great trip thru time ( & France) with tons of "good vibes, friends from 4 continents ( I've no idea how many countries?) , music (yeeha !), Fulvia tips, breathing exercises, food, weather, scenery and, many great funny sad silly stories (merci), assistance, as i already said, "& more",
in its entirety.
Not to forget the moments of great sadness, at historical human folly.
At some points & places on this trip it was hard to not start crying. Thank you everyone. !!!!!!!!!

Re: fulvia meeting
Thanks friends, for sharing all this with me! A great pleasure. I hope everybody went home a different person.
Thank you, Jeanne from Domremy. The beautiful girl who gave her life at age 19 in 1431.
Thank you Billy. The beautiful boy from Kansas who gave his life at age 19 in 1917.
Thank you Bob. The beautiful boy from Ohio who gave his life at age 19 in 1944
So that we could be who we are and do what we do.
The story of the universe.
Thank you Lancia Club France for the welcoming comittee at Domremy and sharing a meal with us.
And thanks, John, for the better than excellent grappa

Re: fulvia meeting
Huub,
if you continued on with your list of names & dates I would have shed more tears.
As far as your comment about being a different person, I wish to add / reply............
so many great, warm, wonderful, beautiful, funny (as in humorous) persons in 1 place & 1 time must somehow be illegal ...... which makes this group of human beings very hard to improve upon.
Still I am sure that every one came away being different, as for myself - "somehow feeling much much older".
On a brighter note:
when can we do it again ? & where ?
signed: John - who is off to Italy in 2 hours (no old Lancia on this trip).
itsa hard job, but sumbody gotta do it !

Re: fulvia meeting
Inez asked me on the way home: what car would you buy if money was no issue? If you know me, not a single modern car crossed my mind. Some special old cars did. Amilcars and Lancia Aurelias, or a nice March-bodied Augusta could wet my pants.
In stead of giving her a name which could fit (in her eyes) as a perfect name for a delicious cocktail, like the lovely "Sunrise Bugatti" or so... I said: " A Fulvia hunny, just a Fulvia"
She tried to bring on other cars, but the answer stayed "nope, just a fulvia"
Why, this weekend was, once again, and if I may quote a shaving divice add: "the best a man can get!"
All the four F's were present:
Friends
Fulvias
Food
Fast roads
She aggreed!
So hunny, stick with me and you'll drive Fulvia forever!
Cheers
