Once in a great while VeloceToday makes a few errors. Most are caught within a day of publication, others within a week. Last week, we had three errors. In all cases, our readers let us know immediately.
That brings us to another related issue. VeloceToday treats the material it publishes in the same manner as a regular, professional, hard copy magazine. That is, our authors, writers and journalists are always identified by name (‘staff’ means editor). To us, there is no difference between an article we, or our correspondents, may write for Cavallino, Forza, or Road & Track and VeloceToday. The only difference to us is the method of delivery (via Internet) and the cost. (free).
All articles are checked as necessary for facts, and in some cases double checked, both by the editor, other writers, and the particular author. While not infallible, we try to ensure accuracy to the same standards, as, say, Automobile Quarterly. This is not easy, but as soon as an error is found, it is changed so that the misinformation will not remain on the net or on our files. In this we have a great advantage over our paper siblings.
We have kept to these standards for almost six years. Yet when searching for information on the Internet, we consistently find misinformation, incorrect statements, no names, no information about the website authors, misspelling, and downright nonsense. In fact, it is hard to determine what websites are reliable, honest, and accurate.
Such is life. But here at VeloceToday anyway, you know our names, you know our reputations, you know how to get in touch with us, and you know that we strive, every week, to bring you accurate (and entertaining) articles.

Cavallino Classic
Tom Shaughnessy's 166MM Barchetta, is shown here.

The car you labeled as "Tom Shaughnessy's 166MM Barchetta, #0141" in Werner's write-up on the Cavallino Classic Concours is actually Manny del Arroz's 166MM s/n 0052M.

Your coverage of Cavallino is superb. While I did not attend, I feel as though I have after reading the article and viewing the wonderful photographs. Thank you for the experience!

Lancia Appia
The offending engine diagram which is from a Series 2/3 Appia, not a Series 1.

As manager of the Appia Consortium I am very interested in the articles
on the Appia. One picky little point your illustration of the Appia
engine shows a Series 2/3 version not the Series 1 which has marked
differences. I will post you some information and photos that might be of interest.
I currently own both Series 1 and Series 3 Sedans and a PF Coupe.

Thank you for this series of articles on Italy and the evolution of the Appia. I live in New Jersey USA and thoroughly enjoy cruising around in a '59 Appia Vignale Convertible, keeping the spirit alive.

Alfa Argentina
Just got my first Alfa Romeo Veloce, and I am from RA (Republic Argentina). I LOVE
this little car, and I treasure your entire magazine, especially your piece
about the old country. (Argentina). I live in Sonoma Calif USA.

Siata
Concorso Italiana is amenable to doing a special display of SIATA cars in August 2007. I would like to get up a list of SIATA owners who would be interested in participating. Can you help? BTW, VeloceToday is the best thing that ever happened to the Internet!
