That Verde Inglese '74 Spider belongs to Alfa Owners of New England member 
and fellow Alfa Digester Kevin Murphy.  Responding to a plea from the 
Commonwealth of Massachusetts for a green (maybe because green matched the 
pretty leaves???) Alfa convertible, Kevin did his patriotic duty and made 
his Spider available for the photo shoot.  He also wrote up a little 
article on his experience that you can check out at 
http://www.velocissima.com.  (Click the "Past Issues" button, go to January 
2001, and click the "A Star Is Born" link.)

And now *we* have a plea:  Since AONE members, kinda by definition, live in 
New England, there's no way that *we're* going to get to see this ad, since 
it's meant to attract vacationers *to* New England, and we're already 
here.  So if one of you could possibly provide us with a videotape of the 
ad, we'd love to have it for our archives.  We'll even reward you with an 
Official AONE Coffee Mug!  (Contact me at webmaster@domain.elided.)
