The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club (chassis #004C) belonging to Jim Clark from Vancouver WA.. Alfa Romeo was well represented in the featured area by Dave Kingstone and his bi-color GTV as well as Peter Hagemann with his silver Giulietta SZ Coda Trunca. Dave‟s Alfa is well known to most of us. He has built up a great track car, modeling the red / green paint scheme af- ter one of the famous Horst Kweck race cars from the Trans Am race series. Peter‟s car is a fantastic, recent addition to his collection. When the judging was done, the wet judges first place tally for the Alfa Romeo Contemporary class was the beautiful dark red 8cCompetizione belonging to Mike Leonetti. Mike‟s the guy Mirko Freguia tracked down in Redmond, many months back, when Mike was heading to a movie in his new Alfa 8C. Classic Alfa Romeo had first, second third place cars. First place was won by Jim Simpson‟s bright red 1966 2600 Sprint Zagato. Jim Elms took second place with his red 1965 Giulia SS, with the white 1962 Giulietta 1600 Spider owned by Ken Loganbill taking third place. We had plenty of great Alfa‟s there, with 3 nice spiders, Kay and Theresa Jones‟ Giulietta Sprint, Shannon Lowe‟s Milano, as well as two Duettos, the new Alfa Spider (Microsoft car), and Ron Calkin‟s 164 Super. Through the rain, I saw a number of nice GTV6s, a couple 164s, and a couple other Alfas in the parking lot. Best of Show went to Jon Shirley‟s outstanding Ferrari Testarossa. This car was Italian Concours cont’d... The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club the prototype design by Scaglietti with pontoon fend- ers and a 3 Ltr v12. After proving itself Ferrari used it to mold all the future Testa- rossa‟s on. The People‟s Choice vote went to a 1972 DeTomaso Pantera that had some modern touches added to its unique orange exte- rior. The car had been the personal car of Tom Tjaarda, the Pantera designer. The upgrades were done by Tom while modernizing its look. Some of the other great cars in the rain that day were a number of Fer- raris, Maseratis, a few Lancia‟s, and Fiats. The Fiat group had a great Multipla which sure looks like it was ahead of its time when compared to things like today‟s Toyota Prius, or Honda Fit. Another cool car was a BMW M1, the mid engine super car. This one-of-a kind version was built by BMW for the Prime Minister of Qatar. It is the only M1 built to full race spec, but for the street. Those who braved the foul weather were able to enjoy all of these great cars and vendors. Let‟s look for- ward to a dry show next year! Fred R The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club Harry Pasta Nova 17310 140th Ave NE Woodinville, WA 98072 (425) 483-3716 www.pastanovaitaliano.com President’s Column By Harry Reed Do The Mountains! I decided the best way to start September, was by driving our great Mountains. Aldo and I headed up SR410 South over Mt Rainer, top down of course. Then took SR123 South to US12 to Randle. In Randle I picked up SR31 which ran into NF25 South and then East on NF99 which goes up the East side of MT. ST Helens. There were a few light rain showers left over from the night before, which also left a few good size rocks on the road. The rocks got more interesting as I climbed higher and the fog became denser. Every mile or so as I rounded another curve there would be a break in the fog and the devastation from the eruption was still quite evident. I managed to dodge all the rocks and reach the top, or at least as far as the road went. The visibility was just about ZERO, so I spent little time viewing the fog and headed back down NF99. The fog started lifting as I descended, there were great views around most curves. The park department had a truck with a front loader coming up the mountain scooping up rocks. That was a good thing. About 2/3 the way down the mountain I noted a paved road heading north. The road was unmarked and there was no signage on the road. I chased the road north for about ½ hour and then stopped to have lunch. At my lunch stop I saw the remains of an old stone foundation which had been the foundation of a National Park sign. It is my understanding that this North/South road was the original road to Mt St Helens prior the eruption. The sun was out in full force and the views were great. This road is not maintained and became quite narrow with brush trying to take over, it was time to turn around and look for more adventure and curves. When I got back to NF99, I had not seen another car for an hour and fifteen minutes. Makes one glad to be in an Alfa. I retraced my route back to SR410 and then went west to Sunrise. It was a great drive and at 6100 feet the view from Sunrise was spectacular. I took a little side trip to Crystal Mountain and headed for Clearwater wilderness on the east side of SR410. I missed the road (I do that ever so of- ten) and ended up back in Enumclaw and in rush hour traffic, oh well. I was grounded for the past three weeks with a medical problem, so I did not enjoy any more good drives until the Half Fast Lap of Washington. I will take this opportunity of down time to make out my punch list of Maintenance Items to accomplish on Aldo this winter. A little work in the winter makes for good spring and summer driving. We will open nominations for club officers during our October meeting; nominations will remain open until the election occurs during our November meeting. Please give some thought as to who you would like our club officers to be next year. If you are interested in being a club officer, have one of our members nominate you at the October or November meeting. I have been a Committee Director or an officer for the past six years; it is both interesting and rewarding, I can tell it has been a good driving summer, as I had to change the oil and filter on Aldo prior to the Half Fast Lap. Hope to see you on a back road. Ciao, Harry News For Alfisti… Elections, 8C Spiders, and Good Genes The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club Club Elections are coming!

  • Global Automotive Books
    I think this is now the largest list of books and magazines in the world on Motor Vehicles. I think I maybe the only person trying to find and document every Book and Magazine on Motor Vehicles. This is a 70+ year trip for me all over the world. Some people have called this an obsession, I call it my passion. This has been a hobby for me since I was about 10 years old. I don’t work on it everyday. I don’t do this for money. I don't have any financial help. I have no books or magazines for sale or trade. I do depend on other Book and Magazine collectors for information on titles I don’t have. Do you know of a Book, Magazine, Newsletter or Newspaper not on my list?? Is my information up to date?? If not can you help bring it up to date?? I depend on WORD-OF-MOUTH advertising so please tell your friends and anyone else that you think would have an interest in collecting books and magazines on motor vehicles. I am giving my Book and Magazine Lists to Richard Carroll to publish on his web - site at www.21speedwayshop.com take a look.. All I am collecting now is any issue of a title. If you are the first to send me a copy of a magazine I don’t have I will thank you with a mention under the title. Because of two strokes and a back injury from falling down the stairs this is about all I can do now.
