Iniezioneiniezione the Newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club IniezioneIniezione The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club “Barn Find” at Alfa of Tacoma It was about a week before the Half-fast Lap last September when my friend, Steve Anderson (now a new club member) called, so excited about a “barn find” he had heard about that he couldn’t even wait for me to finish my shower. An uncle, Steve Bates, had been to his house for dinner the night before, and had told of a 1957 Alfa spider that his brother-in-law had taken to Alfa of Tacoma for repairs in 1977 and never picked up. Steve B’s brother-in-law, Phil George, had lived in Richland and acquired the car in about 1967. Steve remembers that Phil drove the car actively, and on one particular “hold on tight” ride, Phil told him that he and the Alfa “became one” when he drove. Steve had his doubts. When the engine began to show problems, Phil brought it to Alfa of Tacoma. Carlo ended up rebuilding the top and bottom ends, the front suspension, the brakes, and replaced the steering box. Carlo knew the car and said Phil had always taken good care of it, but when it came time to pick it up, he couldn’t pay for it. He stopped by often to see it, though. Phil remarried, but his new wife thought he really didn’t need that car, so there it sat, in the second bay from the window, on jack stands and under a cover. Phil died about five years ago and Lino had no idea how to contact any of the family. He finally told the story to one of his Ferrari customers, a Microsoft employee, who agreed to help. They found Phil’s first wife, Betty, in a retirement home and told her she could have the car if the repair bill and a storage fee for the 35 years were paid. She didn’t know what to do but in approximately March 2011, contacted Steve B, fervently hoping he could do “something”. By the time Steve B told the story to Steve A, he had been to see the car and Lino a few times, and together, they had gotten a title release from Phil’s stepdaughter, who had power of attorney for her mother. No one in the family was interested in it, especially in the condition it was in. Steve A certainly was, though. A few days after he called, he, his uncle and I went to see it. It is a nor- male, SN 1495.03151, built December 10, 1957 and sold January 10, 1958 to Hoffman in New York. Other than the front end, brakes, and steering column being disassem- bled and parts all over the place, it was in great shape, very solid, with a very nice top and tonneau cover, upholstery, glass, etc., and NO rust. The included pictures are as we initially saw it. On October 20, we went back and paid Lino for the repairs that had been done in 1977 and some “storage” since then. The title was lost, and the state only has records back seven years anyway, so we Inside this June 2012 issue… * Barn Find ……………... pg 1,2 * Mystery Car ….……........ pg 7 * Classifieds ……..….. pg 12,13 * President’s Column ….. pg 3 * Member Rcmd ………….... pg 8 * Calendar ……………….… pg 14 * Club Meeting …...…..…... pg 4 * Bataar Hero .…..…….…... pg 9 Next club events… * News ……..…………...……. pg 5 * Membership …………….. pg 10 * Lapping Evening ….…...… Jun 13 * Ville d’Este ….………….... pg 6 * Historics / BBQ ….……. pg 11 * Club Meeting …………....… Jun 14 Barn Find cont’d... have to do the “Ownership in Doubt” process to become the legal owners. We can register and license it, though. Carlo was really enthused about the car, and told us stories of being an apprentice in the Alfa dealership in Rome when the Guilietta was new. He took us to the fabled basement to see his own Guilietta spider Veloce (and everything else, too!). He agreed to get the engine running for us and then we would pick it up and start doing what we could. It turned out that Carlo’s enthusiasm took him through the whole car! The next time I called, he had rebuilt the ignition and carburetor, gotten the engine running and was working on the master cylinder. He went on to replace the brake lines and whatever else that he thought necessary. He rebuilt wheel cylinders, packed the bearings, sent out the gas tank for cleaning and had the missing keys remade for the ignition and trunk. He was assembling everything and doing needed repairs as he went. The car was so solid and rust free from its life in the Tri cities, we didn’t even have to re- place the exhaust system. The last time I saw the car, in the middle of May, it was on its wheels, completely together and just needed a battery hold down, working brake lights and a driving check-out by Carlo. Next, we will have it trucked to Group 2 for alignment and new tires. Then home for some clean up (Steve and I only live about four blocks apart) and we will bring it out for the first time, either at the June meeting in Kirkland, or the corral at the Historics. Lino says that “these Classic Alfa Cars generate a lot of excitement and joy” in him and Carlo and they will miss it, but Steve and I are very excited and looking forward to enjoying it, and the Guilietta being a part of the NWARC.

Well, I know Giuliettas were quite expensive in their day, but working with Mazda will require good value of their end product and that’s for the better. Anything less will not bring success.

This subject was substituted by the author for a more traditional academic subject after a chance discussion with a speaker after a research class that was part of the Masters in Liberal Studies in American Culture program. It is in part a historical project, but it attempts to be a history that attempts to connect developments in the sport to broader themes in the study of American culture. This thesis focuses primarily on three institutions. Waterford Hills Road Racing is a club, founded in 1958 eight near Clarkston Michigan in the shadow of the capitol of the American automobile industry (The track is about two miles away from Chrysler’s headquarters). Waterford dates back almost to the beginning of the modem sport in the early nineteen fifties and in its history has reflected developments in the sport itself. Grattan Raceway in Belding Michigan is a family business.

  • Enzo Ferrari Ende Der 1930Er Jahre Selbstständig Machen Wollte, Suchte Er Einen Kreditgeber
    Interview mit Piero Ferrari ______________________ Als sich Enzo Ferrari Ende der 1930er Jahre selbstständig machen wollte, suchte er einen Kreditgeber. Er fand ihn im italienischen Reifenhersteller PIRELLI. Piero Pirelli, um genau zu sein. Aus Dankbarkeit für diesen 15 Milliarden Lire-Kredit, der das solide Fundament für die Entwicklung, Konstruktion und Fertigung des ersten 12-Zylinder-Ferrari-Motors unter Ingenieur Colombo und die Zukunft des Unternehmens FERRARI sein sollte, gab Enzo Ferrari wohl seinem zweitgeborenen Sohn den Namen Piero. Zweitgeborener Sohn deshalb, weil der Erstgeborene namens Alfredino - abgekürzt Dino - trotz engagierter Bemühungen seiner Mutter Laura und seines die Krankheit akribisch schriftlich dokumentierenden Vaters Enzo im Jahre 1956 an Multipler Sklerose verstarb. Beide Söhne zeigten sich dem Erbe ihres Vaters würdig. Beide waren und sind begnadete Techniker und Ingenieure, die durch ihre Konstruktion von Motoren dem Unternehmen Ferrari, Piero aber auch für das mit 42.000 verkauften Motorrädern der italienischen Marke DUCATI im Jahre 2010, dem bisher erfolgreichsten Jahr in der Firmengeschichte, für Anerkennung, mehr noch: für Furore gesorgt haben. Der Markenname DINO, für die in den 1960er Jahren gebauten Sportwagen mit dem von Dino Ferrari gezeichneten 6-Zylinder-Motoren in hoher Mindest-Stückzahl für die rennsportliche Registrierung als Formel 2-Motor, gilt als zuverlässiges und erfolgreiches Bindeglied für die seit 1969 praktizierte Erfolgsehe mit dem Unternehmen FIAT des Avocato Gianni Agnelli und seiner Ehefrau, der Marquesa Carraciolo, in Turin-Italien. Hinter vorgehaltener Hand geben Mitarbeiter von Ferrari sogar preis, Piero sei nicht nur für die Konstruktion und den Einsatz des überaus erfolgreichen Ferrari-Sportwagens 333 verantwortlich gewesen, sondern habe auch die technische Zuständigkeit in Sachen Weltmeister-Motoren von Michael Schumacher in der Formel 1 der Jahre 2000 bis 2004 zu verantworten gehabt.

And on July 21 Fiat Chrysler chairman, John Elkann, 42, wrote a wistful semi-obituary letter to the company's 236,000 employees, reminding them that it was Marchionne's "intellect, perseverance and leadership that saved Fiat." ROME -- The Italian component of Fiat-Chrysler [2] cars was already in crisis when Sergio Marchionne, 66, was in a university hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, on June 28, supposedly for an operation on his shoulder. But then Marchionne took a "sudden and sharp" turn for the worse, and is now unconscious on life-support; some here whisper the real cause is cancer, but no official statement has yet come. He last appeared in public on June 26 in Italy, two days before hospitalization. Although TV news footage from that day shows Marchionne weak and with apparent trouble Page 1 of 3 John Elkann: Sergio Marchionne "Will not Return" Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) breathing, some Italian press accounts say that the situation "precipitated almost without warning" while others spoke of an "unspecified aggressively infectious disease" only recently diagnosed. Whatever the cause, no improvement will come, for his condition is "irreversible," according to the hospital; and on July 21 Fiat Chrysler chairman, John Elkann, 42, wrote a wistful semi-obituary letter to the company's 236,000 employees, reminding them that it was Marchionne's "intellect, perseverance and leadership that saved Fiat." Marchionne, born in Italy but raised in Canada, took over the then failing 119-year-old Fiat company [3] in 2004.
