Once again, ARA member Dick Gale has magnanimously consented to host his annual "One Lap of Marin" Tour. This famous drive is a must for all Alfisti in the area. After a long, rainy winter, what better way to greet the return of spring than with a 100-or-so mile drive through one of California's most beautiful regions, Marin County. This is a very addictive event. Not only is it a great drive, but its not restricted to Alfa Romeos. Dick, while a club member and avid Alfisti, is also interested in Abarths, Ferraris (who isn't?) and Jaguars, among others and his tour is usually a very eclectic collection of sports and Grand Turismo cars. Last year's event had an XK-120 Jaguar Coupe, an Aston Martin DB4, a Morgan 3-wheel "knock-off" with a Moto Guzzi Motorcycle engine, a gleaming red Ferrari California Spyder (like the "Ferris Beuller" car) and a stunning yellow Maserati Sebring along with a rare and unusual Lancia Zagato coupe and a gaggle of Alfas. Once you turn out for one of these great tours, you'll be hooked, believe me!

At the end of the tour we all meet back at Dick and his lovely wife, Louisiana's charming houseboat in Sausilito for a fun get-together with other car nuts. It will be a day that you'll long remember. I can promise you that!

DATE: Saturday, March 18, 2006

MEET: 9-10 a.m. we will assemble in the parking lot near Dick Gale’s houseboat in Sausalito.

DEPART: 10 a.m. for the wonderful winding roads of West Marin (approximately 100 miles). A map will be provided. The roads are narrow so be attentive to those who wish to pass.

LUNCH: Approximately 12 :30 PM. We have reservations at the "William Tell" Restaurant in the town of Tomales for approximately 40 people. There will be 4 menu items from which to choose.

AFTER LUNCH: We will head South along Highway 1 and other byways to Dick Gale’s houseboat for a social hour before returning home.

QUESTIONS: Dick Gale evenings 415-346-7859. If you can’t bring an Alfa, drive something interesting and join the fun!
