After months of media embargo and confidentiality, a media release from the office of the Premier Of Victoria has publicly announced the Masterchef episode featuring AROCA and its members will be televised this coming week.
It is part of Masterchef's theme this week, "Fast Food Week"
See: http://www.premier.vic.gov.au/media-centre/media-releases/7320-food-wine-scenic-coastlines-and-an-alfa-romeo-masterchef-visits-the-mornington-peninsula.html (http://www.premier.vic.gov.au/media-centre/media-releases/7320-food-wine-scenic-coastlines-and-an-alfa-romeo-masterchef-visits-the-mornington-peninsula.html)
The episode will go to air on Tuesday 16th July at 7.30pm on Channel 10.
Regardless of how much airtime we get on the actual episode, this will be a fantastic promotion and exposure for both the Alfa Romeo marque and of course our Alfa Romeo Owners Club of Australia!! ;D ;D
i noticed last nights episode has a 'thanks' to Alfa Romeo in the credits (although the Crysler 300C) was the only car I saw in the episode.
must be a prelude to tomorrow.
It came up well Victor. Well done to everyone involved. Some bloody beautiful Alfas on display.
Cheers,
Brent
Congratulations to everyone who attended. The episode worked really well, and was heavily interwoven with ads for the Giulietta. Loved it!
Indeed great exposure for the marque and AROCA on National TV - thanks to all at AROCA Vic for 'making it happen'

Just got back from a little Club gathering at our monthly meeting spot to watch the episode with other members on the big screen.
What great promo and exposure for Alfa Romeo and the Club!
Big thanks must go to AROCA Vic Public Relations Officer Greg Briggs who coordinated the day on behalf of the Club. Who could have imagined being able to get 50 Alfas and their drivers in the middle of the week? Greg had to arrange the emails out, the emails back (I can come, sorry I can't come now, can I bring a friend), and the change of date. Well done, Greg!
The biggest thanks must go to Fiat Chrysler Australia for thinking to include the Club in this episode!
I missed the episode, hoping I'll be able to catch up on the internets!

Quote: "This challenge tests the contestant's navigation and cooking skills. They enjoyed the winding roads of the Mornington Peninsula thanks to the Giulietta's comfortable yet sporty suspension."
:o

Well done everyone, great hour long ad for Alfas and Alfisti!
Well done AROCA Vic...it was great to watch, best part of the show! I can actually now say I watched my first Masterchef show...boy were those first 45mins excruciating until the Alfa's rolled up to steal the limelight! Pity the cars weren't shown a little more, definitely some amazing examples of some great cars...awesome!
Good to see AROCA and its members. Great to see the promo for Alfa in general.
But MasterChef seems to be a show where there are lots of crying going on, not a lot of cooking.
I didn't get the time to watch the show. I was in the garage fixing my Alfa!!!
Well done Greg for coordinating and corralling 50 AROCA members and their cars on a weekday. Even when there's free food on offer its not the easist task :).
I thoroughly enjoyed watching it on the internet, watched the first ten minutes and then fast forwarded to where the club cars/members were involved! What an incredible showcase for Alfa Romeo, must have cost Fiat-Chrysler a bunch. Product placement was a little nauseating early on...
Well done to Greg for organising, great outcome.
This sort of exposure would never have happened under the ATECO banner, what a resurrection of the brand in this country of late, just highlights how ATECO where so bad,just after making a quick buck.
Caught this by chance last night. Quite a PR coup for a car club. Well done.
Great job Vic alfa club,
even convinced my wife to look at buying a new Guiletta , or now she has been online maybe the 159... Can some one share what the double clutch is ???
Cheers Drew

Whilst I organised the event, my thanks goes to the owners of 42 Alfa Romeos and passengers who braved an ordinary day and presented their cars in beautiful condition.
Without every one of you attending we could not have pulled it off. The MasterChef people were stunned at our display!
Thank you once again and I hope we have more opportunity to show that there is more passion in our badge than the rest of the motoring world combined. Hopefully a little more airtime next time.
Grazie mille
ciao
well that was fun watching the Alfas', the scenery and nice weather during a big thunderstorm over here in the Wild West.
Was enjoying the episode right up until the camera zoomed in on Doug G, then...blackout - all power lost to the house!
We know your God like power on the circuit as C of C Doug, but didn't realise it extended to being a weather god too :)
Bec and I enjoyed a 'spotting the familiar face in the crowd' game and great to see - Doug G, Gary P, Barry, E, Branko, Mary L (but not Victor I am sorry), Greg B and a surprising number of new or unknown faces of newer members since I was last in Vic.

I missed this totally!!! I hope somebody taped it for future viewing by those less aware of "happenings".............................................Ian
Look back a few posts...there's a link to the episode, if that doesn't work you can always go straight to the Masterchef website and view past episodes :)
Thanks Domenic.
