:lol: Not exactly a 'custom Fiat' trailer! I was working for a older man who had used it to haul a tractor.Heavy duty frame and axles,but too short for my use.I had a local trailer mfg. look it over and thay added onto the trailer to make it long enough for me to haul a Fiat.Pulls great.I have towed cars all across the country with it.
I dont think location has been announced yet,but the next FFO is in the Northeast.The rest of the Board thinks 3 in a row in the South is too many :roll: You should shoot for Fiatfest next year in Winston-Salem.It is more fun than FFO(to me) because its all about driving...no show,all go!!

Craig,
Are you staying overnight in Danville? I am driving up tomorrow and staying in the Sleep Inn & Suites. Phil is doing Tech inspection there in the afternoon for those who can get there to avoid the crush on Thursday AM. See you up there.

Sorry to say that I will be at work during this years FFO. We tend to stay home when the FFO is far away, and this trip would be hard to get to from the west. Of course, I could drive my Mini, but Fiat USA would probably frown on that! You all have a great time! Dave FUN12!
