Re: [alfa] Sports Car International



While I agree that Sports Car International is the very best general purpose American sports car magazine, they really only carry Alfa content when I write it for them ;->.

On the other hand, the very best magazine for the Alfisti is a British magazine called "Auto Italia." Every issue has lots of Alfa content as well as Ferrari, Fiat, Lancia, Maserati, Lamborghini and every other Italian make, including ones you've never heard of before. The magazine is expensive at about $90/year for 12 issues, but it's cheaper than buying it on an issue-by-issue basis from Tower Books or Barnes & Noble where it's always a month late (at least -if it shows-up at all) and costs $10/issue. For your $90 you get it delivered airmail and you always have it about two days after it appears on the newsstand in GB, so it's not really that bad of a deal. It's a great magazine and I devour mine from cover to cover each month.

I highly recommend this auto mag to Alfa aficionados. It is the only
magazine I can get here in the frozen North (West) that approximates proper
journalism in respect of cars and covers the European cars as well as the
dull monotony available to us poor benighted North Americans.

Road & Track and European Car are my other favourites. The rest are pretty
hopeless. Automobile started out really well and then became a parody of
itself. Motor Trend is the worst, a true rag, and Car and Driver is pretty
useless.

Now Forza and F1 magazines are great but both reinforce the automotive
irrelevance of my present locale. No racing worth looking at and nothing
interesting in way of vehicles, we are truck and SUV mad out here...
