Comments from social networks

William JonathanA car influencer well known in the classic car scene for his impressive plans, commented: “The Fiat Uno represents one of the highest moments in the history of the latest Italian luxury car. A car that marked an era and that could not fail to be celebrated in a way that had never been done before. It was not a traditional gathering of enthusiasts, but a classy appointment its festive, proud but always full of fun and joy. Challenges launched on social media in the weeks leading up to the event saw a lot of enthusiasm, a desire to get involved and give the impression of a very close-knit community of enthusiasts. And that’s what I liked and I’m glad it was an exaggerated celebration as I promised myself to thank these special and passionate riders.”.

The event was conceived, designed and personally run by William and cared for down to the smallest detail. Praised by the crowd, he recalled the important equipment contribution of the 500landia Club of Vigevano, of the president Marco Reggio, of all the board members and the administration of the municipality of Vigevano that provided the spaces.
