Re: alfa-digest V8 #98 - More what's in a name

[AlfaNeely@domain.elided]

       OK, sounds like Giulia is simply a female name, however, I can pretend 
it means jewel....  And of course, Giulietta is a smaller version of what 
ever the translation is.
       I was at a wedding a few years back.  Someone asked what my tag meant. 
 I explained that it was the Italian spelling of the brides name.  The bride 
was named Julie and the tag?  
       Well, it is Giulia.  I am running it on my tow vehicle for rescuing 
more Alfas (AKA, my truck) at the moment waiting until one of my three 
Giulias are running.

Ciao,
Russ
2 63 Giulia Spiders and a Giulia Super, all waiting restoration
and a bunch of other Alfas, several of which actually run
