Iniezione the Newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club Iniezione The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club Summer Drive Coming Up on August 8th! This year the summer drive will include two hours of glori- ous cruising through the tall trees east of Woodinville fol- lowed by a very special point of interest in Kirkland. During the driving portion of the event we will circumnavigate Du- vall while exploring the Snoqualmie valley. After this beautiful back road drive we will head to Lake Washington Institute of Technology. The fine folks at Lake Washington Tech have agreed to show us their automotive program. For those who don't know the automotive pro- gram at LWIT has become quite extensive. Not only do they graduate gurus of wrenching but also artists of collision re- pair, painting and restoration. In fact, they have recently been lovingly restoring an ancient ALFA hard top. (Now that's a noble pursuit!) LWIT also provides education in a number of other programs covering health care, the culinary arts, horticulture and others. But really, none of these compare in importance to restoring old ALFA's. On August 8th at 11 AM, we will be leaving from the Starbucks at 18404 120th Ave NE in Bothell 98011. This is the unit across from the Home Depot near the intersection of Hwy 522 and I-405. For more info, you can contact Ken Case at [email protected]. Hope to see you there. Inside this August 2015 issue… Hot Topic!!! Reserve your space on the Half Lap!

That pretty well shot down our schedule to have the nose of the spider painted. Harry Reed was going to come over on Monday to help remove the bumper and the car was to go into the shop Tuesday. We had to call Harry and the body shop to tell them there would be a delay as now the Alfa was our only car. Good, old dependable Alfas, right? (Actually, they are. For over thirteen years, our only cars were our two Alfas.) The body shop also had three tow ins and they could not do the Alfa until July 20. At our house, it’s been a car-centric month, and not Although it was supposed to be, the Audi wasn’t a all in the usual fun/enthusiast way. The time the Alfa simple fix.

  • Alfa Romeo Opens the Doors to Its Historical Museum in Arese Alfa
    Alfa Romeo opens the doors to its Historical Museum in Arese Alfa Romeo is celebrating its 105-year anniversary by opening its historical museum in Arese, Milan, Italy to the public; the museum – named “La macchina del tempo” - is the heart of a genuine “brand centre”, and it hosts a bookshop, café, documentation centre, test drive track, events venues and a show-room with a customer delivery area: it is the perfect bond between past, present and future. Inaugurated on 24th June during the world preview of the new Giulia, “La macchina del tempo – Museo storico Alfa Romeo”, is set to open to the public on 30th June and it will be open to visitors every day, except Tuesdays, from 10 am to 6 pm, with extended opening hours until 10 pm on Thursdays (www.museoalfaromeo.com). The Museum is home to the most significant pieces in Alfa Romeo's historic collection, which was put together from the early 1960s onwards. It was inaugurated in 1976 and was open to visitors by reservation only. Following the decommissioning of the Arese production plant and the ensuing loss of the Centre's directional role, the museum was closed in 2011. As part of Alfa Romeo's global relaunch plan, the Museum in Arese - symbolic location for the company's history – has been identified as the fulcrum of the brand's rebirth. At the end of 2013, the architect Benedetto Camerana was called upon to propose a new design that would integrate the relaunch objectives with the need to preserve the building. The works started in summer 2014, and in less than 12 months, a major restoration project affecting the entire complex was completed and achieved by FCA Partecipazioni.

RE: INSPIRED It is a badge born 105 years ago that still stands for something totally original today: a passion for motoring unlike any other. Visceral. Energetic. Technological. Crafted. The DNA of one of the world’s most revered brands runs deeper than the enamel of its fender badges; snakes with a power like the tail of a dragon; runs deeper than the blue surround itself. It runs straight from the heart of Italy to roads and drivers all over the world. This badge belongs to the new Alfa Romeo Giulia. 2 3 LEARN MORE FIND A DEALER GIULIA COLORIZER ALFAROMEOUSA.COM SEE THE ROAD IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT The reverence people hold for Alfa Romeo has only grown with each milestone along the way. In 1962, the introduction of the legendary Giulia sedan boldly combined an enormously powerful engine with a lightweight body meant purely for street use — unheard of at the time. The new Giulia Quadrifoglio is undeniably inspired by its namesake of a half century ago — in its elegant style, alluring details and impressive aerodynamics — and its own set of breakthrough innovations. In all, not only is the thrill of driving back; it’s better than ever. 4 5 European model shown.
