Re: Highway Sighting: 1930's Alfa Zagato!

Leslie,

just another aspect of Alfadom which I've given up trying to explain to
non-Alfisti.

Even those of us driving affordable 75/Milanos and Alfetta's can easily and
correctly trace a lineage back to automotive icons such as the 8C2300.

And, in my limited exposure to such rarefied beasts, the lucky owner-drivers
of these cars don't scoff at us as we wave in common acknowledgement as we
pass on the highway.
