RE: The Alfa-haters

["TJ Noto" <tj@domain.elided>]

Well there are at least TWO members of this list who own both Alfas and
BMWs.  Of course they're not just ANY BMW, rather the most noble and
beautiful car ever to come from the Munich car maker.  Heck, they
weren't even designed by BMW really.  They shared the bloodlines of an
older model BMW designed by Bertone.  Then the bodies were built by
Karmann.  Now, granted, they're a little heavier than an Alfa, and quite
a lot bigger, but there is a family resemblance.  Also, fans of this
car, the CS coupe, tend to love Alfas, GTVs in particular.  

Oh yeah, the other BMW/Alfa owner on the list?  Tony
Sims...........sorry buddy, blew your cover.

Regards,
TJ
BMWs, Alfas, Ducatis, Labrador Retrievers
