Can you picture yourself indulging in a three-day long weekend away driving 1200 kilometres over some of the best roads in Victoria and New South Wales in your classic Italian or other exotic car?
Do you enjoy the challenge of some simple navigation, the promise of great food and fine wines at the end of the days’ competition in the company of other like-minded competitors, not to mention the opportunity to raise some much-needed funds for an extremely worthwhile charity? And all this for free?
Yes, it’s true – it could be you if you decide to enter in the fourth annual Italian Connection Trophy in May 2011. To encourage you to enter this little-known but extremely popular event, your entry will give you a chance of winning our free rally entry and accommodation package for two people valued at over $2,300.00. And as the event is restricted to just 30 crews, you stand a 1 in 30 chance of winning this fabulous prize. What could be better than that?
So why are we making this terrific offer? There are two reasons. Firstly, we want to introduce you to one of the really great classic car rallies, one that connects Melbourne’s Italian precinct, Carlton, with the Sydney equivalent, Leichardt via a three-day touring rally for Italian (and other) cars- in other words, we’ll be making the Italian Connection. This year, 2011 will be the fourth time the Italian Connection Trophy has been held and to celebrate we’ll have a brand new route from Melbourne to Sydney.
Secondly, we’ll be raising money for a little-known but extremely worthwhile charity, the Duchenne Foundation, which has been established to help find a cure for a terminal disease which affects young males and whose life expectancy is usually less than 20 years. And the best way of doing this, we believe, is to have some classic Italian fun along the way.
But was does the event offer? We all love driving our classic Italian cars on the highways and byways of Australia’s east coast, where we can stretch their legs and drive them the way that those Italian craftsmen intended. So we’ve designed an event that’s kind on your car (the entire route is on sealed roads) but challenging for both driver and navigator.
There’ll be simple navigation to test the navigator, fabulous roads up hill and down dale that will put a grin on the driver’s face, generous time schedules, and professional organization to make sure you have the best possible time.
Don’t own an Italian car? No matter, because we know that our love of classic cars is not just restricted to Italian marques, but encompasses a whole range of brands and models. But if you drive Italian, so much the better.
There’s so much more that we want to tell you about The Italian Connection, so why not click on the Registration form, and send it off today. Entries are limited to just 30 crews (one of whom will receive our free entry and accommodation package), mark May 20, 21 & 22, 2011 in your diary and start preparing for this great event. It’s one you won’t want to miss.
