Alfa Romeo Owners Club of Austin – Spring Drive

April 22, 2014 Posted in  Blog, Car Clubs, Events | Comments: 3

Yes, spring in Texas is for driving.  And there are no greater driving enthusiasts than the members of the Texas Hill Country Alfa Romeo Owners Club.  The Austin club is renowned for its inclusiveness.  Don’t have an Alfa?  No worries.. if you’re a car enthusiast and love to get together with other like-minded gearheads, then you’ll find yourself welcome in this group.

The Austin Alfa Club meets regularly for coffee on the first Saturday of each month at Mozart’s Coffee House on Lake Austin Blvd, around 8:30 or so.

 If you are a newcomer, you’ll find yourself amongst friends in short order!

One unique feature of the Alfa club.. there are no dues, and no business meetings.   This club is all about car enthusiasts getting together and swapping tales, and enjoying drives with their beautiful Italian machines.

At least twice each year, the Alfa Club stages a weekend drive for club members.  This spring (2014), the drive encompassed approximately 150 miles of some of the most beautiful Hill Country back roads in the region.  The route followed Hamilton Pool Road through open pasture land, continued on to explore the hallowed “Willow City Loop” famed for its outstanding displays of bluebonnets and other wildflowers, proceeded past legendary Luckenbach, to terminate for lunch on the square in Blanco, Texas.

    Is there a new Alfa dealership in the works for Austin? If not I would like to explore opening one. The new crowd investor funding is about to be passed in Texas which will allow small investors to invest as low as $5000. I am a native Austinite and have always wanted a car dealership. My grandfather had a Buick/ Opal dealership in Victoria from the late 30’s to early 70’s. I own a Jaguar but want to open a new legacy Italian and English new car dealership in town. I have been in industrial manufacturing for 25 years now I work for a gear company in Mexico City along with my bar business. Let me know I am interested in buying an old Alfa as well. We have a gear factory in Torino, Italy near the FiAT plant. Our Mexico plant founders are from Torino. Cheers, Jim Stockbauer http://www.freedmensbar.com

    Wow, you don’t see those in the U.S. very often! Very nice cars! I wish they brought more of them to the States.
