It was the last Saturday in May and that can only mean one thing – it was the Northern Ireland Italian Motor Club’s annual show at our established venue of Lagan Valley Island (LVI) in Lisburn. There was one distinct difference from previous years and that was the fact that unfortunately the sun was not splitting the trees and we had not managed to secure the type of weather that Italian cars...
