FCA Alberta Chapter Events

Whenever there is a long range forecast for rain it tends to arrive earlier as you get closer to the date. The rain forecast was Sunday and it is now on Saturday and clear for Sunday. I think it's looking great for the drive. It will be a little chilly. Please bring a sweater. Glad to see your registration koukir32!

 

The rush has begun....total car count is now up to 57 cars for this Sunday!!!

 

Your wish will likely come true! We're trying to squeeze one more drive in!

 

As for official club drives we are done for the season. There are a few informal drives going on though amongst members. I will let you know about one that may be happening this weekend.

 

Ferrari Maserati of Alberta (FMoA) is making a very special presentation and we are all invited as special guests. The RSVP date has been extended for the FCA. You will not want to miss this!

Tech Session - Testarossa Major Service

Ferrari Maserati of Alberta (FMoA) will be hosting a free, informative tech session highlighting an engine out major service on a Ferrari Testarossa. The big V12 boxer engine will be out on the night we are there!

Have you ever wondered what is involved with a major service? Curious about the maintenance needs of a Testarossa or a modern Ferrari in general? You should attend this event!

This is your opportunity to meet the knowledgeable service staff at the dealership and have any of your questions answered! Carlo Galasso, FMoA dealer principal, and service technicians Adam Bichel and Stephen Foster will be available to answer any questions you may have about the service needs of a Testarossa or on your own Ferrari.

Galloping Horses Meet Prancing Horses!!

Possibly for the first time in recorded history, you can join in on the fun. The FCA are guests of the Calgary Polo Club next Sunday afternoon. While the four-legged steeds will battle it out for Polo supremacy, four-wheeled steeds will also battle it out in a high stakes game of, "Which one is your favourite?"

When you arrive you will be welcomed with a complementary champagne from Vueve Cliquot in their hospitality lounge just for us!

We will enjoy two fully commentated Polo games and a fabulous luncheon in the Ranch House! Enjoy the best seats in the house to enjoy the game. This is a great opportunity to get dressed up and enjoy a great day with your family.
