Lynching
Michael Lynch's article was terrific--just the right stuff, combination of
personal narrative and up to the minute information. He is also one good
writer.

Sad to read of Chris Nixon's death. Too damn young seeing as how I'm 63. I worked with Chris when I was with Vintage Motorsport on the "Aston Martin Special Issue." He as a pro!

Sounds like a plan
How about a bookreview on the new fabulous book by Tony Adriaensens. It covers the whole history of the Fiat Ottovu and its Siata derivatives. I am sure that many of the Velocetoday enthusiasts would like to learn more about this book. Oh yeah I like VeloceToday very much.

Been there, done that, but do it again
In July, Alfa Romeo enthusiasts from across the U.S. and beyond will converge on Bellevue, Wash, and the Puget Sound region for Potlatch 2005, the national convention of the Alfa Romeo Owners Club.
Detailed event descriptions, hotel information and directions are available at www.alfapotlatch.com. I would be happy to assist with additional information.

Oops
I am the owner of the 375 Mille Miglia ( MM) 0490AM. The article on Villa d'Etse in very nice. There is minor error on the picture caption showing my 375 MM 0490AM. It reads incorrectly 375AM. - AM means America and my car is a Mille Miglia.
I enjoy the online magazine.

The Very Same
Thanks very much for your sad news of Dixon's death. This was the first report I've read giving a little background detail and how he died. I thank you for that. Are you by any chance the Peter Vack of the Abarth Buyer's Guide?

Got one for Sale?
I'm looking for a nice Alfa Duetto, or boat tail 1750 Spider.
If you know of one, please get back to me.

Readers please respond
Wonder if you can assist me here...the O.S.C.A. name I understand in 2001 had risen out of the ashes and some Japan investors and perhaps Zagato family members built a car called the "Dromos". Do you have any idea if this company still exists? Did they ever build any more cars?

Perking right along
I'm looking for any information or links for the Perkins diesel that was installed in some 70's? I have an Alfetta GTV 4 cylinder and was going to rebuild the engine. I'm interested in building or buying a diesel for the Alfetta. The Alfetta is supposedly the same as the Giulia or is it the Giulietta?

Names changed to protect the guilty
I've just discovered your website and read with interest your Giulietta Papers piece. Being from Des Moines and with connections to Alfa Guru Paul Tenney, I'm curious to know how much fiction was involved in your story. (I'm used to all the Iowa jokes, but many folks aren't aware of the small but mighty numbers of enthusiasts that thrived there...) I can recall my Dad having very similar "conversations" with the locals regarding his Alfas and Citroens...

Itala Mia
I wonder if you can help?
We have a 1906 Itala that we are about to restore. But weare hoping
tofind out some more information about it. Eg past history, owners etc.
Please could you advise us the place to find out about where these
records are kept. The last owner had her from 1960 but before that we do
not know her history.
Would be grateful for any info.
