There aren't that many in the whole USA.
It would be great for us here in the U.S. to get together. Too bad it seems like we are basically on the left or right coast. That's a lot of space in between!
We actually did manage to get most of the US membership together a couple of times (back when there were only 3 or 4 of us) in the early 2000's. None of us had cars on the road, but we didn't let that stop us. Jeff Davison, John Lagerquist and I all flew over to the Abingdon show in England in 2001, and I've been back on the far side of the pond for events a few times since.
We'd also gotten together at some of the big FIAT club events. Usually get good turnout at the Carlisle (Pennsylvania) Import, Kit and Replica show in May (East coast and Canada members), or the annual FIAT Freakout (some west coast and international members). No reason we couldn't shoot for one of those, especially since Freakout changes venue every year. It's on Long Island this year, and it's been as far west as Missouri. Not sure if it's ever made it to the left coast, but there are some other events out west I might be pursuaded to attend. I think it's a matter of seeing if they'll let replicas into the show. I know that the Fiat Club will - there are enough classic parts in a Stratos replica to qualify as a FIAT product!
Hi Scott, I agree the freakout or the carlisle show would lbe cool. If we can get into a show where our donor cars were the main star we could choose from ferrari, pantera, alfa, fiat, lamborghini
Just realised I never got round to uploading my photos from the show, well I can put that right as of now:

I was hoping they would get you to pay my tab.....Yes Mel,very good meal,thanks for the recommendation. We mentioned your name and they nearly kicked us out..
Ill pass on the complement.
I had two texts on Sunday night to tell me there were two Stratos at the pub ( you cant go anywhere in a Strat without being noticed ).
