The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club

Iniezione

(Many Gather for a Wonderful Christmas Party) The smell of Italian seasonings wafted through the air as

Alfisti gathered for the annual Northwest Alfa Romeo Club Holiday Party.

This year we changed the location to a restaurant in Burien known for outstanding Italian food. Opening up

especially for us on a Sunday in December, we owned the place all evening. Mina Perry, who grew up in

the same Italian town as Carlo & Lino Durante, opened Filiberto’s Restaurant back in 1975… about the same

time the Durante’s opened Alfa of Tacoma.

Around 50 club members gathered for this year’s event and the auction tables were filled with lots of great

gift ideas and fun items. Thanks to numerous club members and great Alfa sponsors, the choices included

jams, wine, Alfa car parts, service coupons, t-shirts, books, miniature cars, and lots more. The first hour of

the party, people visited each other while perusing the auctions items and making bids on the bid sheets.

As the final warning of the auction close was announced, a few of us scurried to make our last bids. Next,

Ron Calkins did his Treasurer role with the support of Gordy Hyde, by counting the sales, and the rest of us

headed for the dining tables to eat.

Served family style, we enjoyed wonderful pasta dishes and salads. With the exception of the tables being

way too crowded, the space, food, timing, and location were excellent. The volume was loud as people

talked and ate. Eventually people were full long before any food ran out.

The club presentations were simple and brought up the club officers, party volunteers, and included a slide

review of all the year’s events.

The last event was to thank everyone for attending, and

for donating and bidding on auction items. But just be-

fore all this Joe English explained his choice for this

year’s recipient of the Alfista of the Year Award. Giving

the award to Ron Calkins, Joe explained Ron’s passion

for Alfas and how deep it runs. Ron’s track record of

building, driving, rebuilding, and enjoying Alfas every

day is clear! Congrats Ron!

We all enjoyed the party so thanks goes to Bill & Judy

Gehring, Rita Ingram, Tony & Debi Schmid, Ron Calkins,

Gordy Hyde, Kory Shue, Kristy Affolter, and a few others

for all their efforts putting the great event together.

Inside this January 2015 issue…

Sometimes, a crazy editor can get distracted by things like Seahawk games, holiday par-

ties, Alfa Romeos, family and other worthy things… the end result is I shared the wrong date for the upcoming January Club Meeting. The correct date is actually Wednesday,

January 14th at Angelo’s Restaurant in Bellevue. Event details are found on page 4!

Since becoming president, and having my phone

number and email address in the Alfa Owner, I have

received a lot of interesting phone calls. One of my

favorites was from a person in Port Townsend who

thought he had a Veloce engine and was thinking of

making it a wall display. The most recent, maybe

something someone in the club can help with, was

from a previous owner, Norm Bianchi, trying to find

his old spider. It was a white 1974 with black interior

and a green serpent on the hood. In the photos I

have seen it looks very good, and may have a roll

bar. He called me because the person he had sold it

to thinks it may have been sold to someone in Wash-

ington. I’ve checked with the usual suspects, Shan-

non Low at Park Place Motors, and with Cosmopolitan

Motors in Seattle, to no avail. Does anyone know of

it? I don’t have a time frame as to when it may have

been here, and the serpent may be gone, but the VIN

ends in 3286. Please let me know if you have any

information.

Another Holiday Gala has come and gone, and by all

accounts, it was successful. Filiberto’s was a good

location, and Mina worked hard to give us a good ex-

perience. Growing up with Carlo and Lino in Italy,

she probably should have been on the program, as I

understand she has some good stories about them,

but we missed the opportunity. Oh well, there may

be another chance.

Being one of the “committee”, I thought about the

Gala often in the last few months, which led to mem-

ories of the varied locations of previous parties. I

think the first I remember was at Salty’s, in West Se-

attle. A fun location was the Petroleum Museum on

Capitol Hill. There was one at a great Italian restau-

rant in Lake City, which is now a drug

store. There were a couple at the Muse-

um of Flight and some at McCormicks on

Lake Union. Last year’s party was inter-

esting, on the edge of Belltown, at Spit-

fire. The parties I have attended have

all been enjoyable, regardless of the

venue. The committee is already talking

about next year, and of course would

welcome not just some input about the

location, but more assistance too. You

can contact Kristy Affolter, Judy Gehring

or me with your ideas, or to volunteer

your help.

Another LA Auto Show has come and

gone, and of course, Alfa was in the

news. Sergio Marchionne says that all of

the new Alfas will be rear or all wheel

drive and all will “share high technology,

high performance, and drop-dead gor-

geous design and style.” As we have

heard, the Mazda/Alfa spider deal has been terminat-

ed, and now the edict is that all Alfas will be built in

Italy. It sounds like there is a lot of Alfa-Maserati co-

operation with

a core team of 600 engineers currently working on

them. Marchionne says the next model, the midsize

sedan Giulia, will be presented June 24, 2015, Alfa

Romeo’s 105th birthday. It may be on sale in Europe

about a year later, and to us available by the end of

2016. I hope it looks as good as renderings I have

seen and that it will be affordable.

This platform (called Project 952) will also be the

base for the other midsize models. A midsize SUV is

supposed to come out in 2016. Later will be a

midsize roadster, larger than the 4C (of which two

have recently been spotted in Andalusia, Spain, per-

haps being filmed for commercials), and a midsize

coupe. Also allegedly being planned are a large A8

type sedan, a large SUV (ugh, but they pay the bills)

and a compact hatchback/sedan and/or coupe. All

by 2018. Some more information should be coming

at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

I hope to see you in January. Saturday, January 3, is

the “Anti-Football” Drive, which should be fun, and on

the normal second Wednesday of the month, at An-

gelo’s in Bellevue, Peter Imhoff, who has done some

fabulous Alfa Romeo restorations, will be present-

ing. Happy New Year!

I know I love this magazine for the tons of Alfa Romeo con-tent, but now Auto Italia is celebrating its 20th anniversary

as the only worldwide publication dedicated to Italian cars and is offering some special deals to readers in the USA: A

reduced 12 month subscription rate of just £70 (about $110 USD) instead of the regular £78. The offer, which will only run for a limited period is available via email to Phil Ward (Editor). autoitalia@virginmedia.com They also have a cool 2015 wall calendar that is included with a subscription… or you can simply buy it while stocks last for £8.95 including postage. E-mail the editor

(Phil) to place either order.

The 5th album / CD release by the indie group from the UK named The Popguns is called Pop Fiction. The Popguns have been around since 1985 but until now they didn’t specifically attract the Alfa Romeo

community very much but this album changed that.

One of the songs is called Alfa Romeo and in the song the chorus says, “You. Unimaginably cool on the boulevard. In your Alfa Romeo, oh, oh.” Even without our favorite car mentioned, it’s a nice song and I enjoy the CD. You can enjoy the song by go-ing to YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SLAfyAOhK4

How did I miss out on the Al Pacino movie from 1978 named Bobby Deerfield? Am I the only Alfa fanatic that never saw this? Pacino plays a race driver in the Martini liveried Alfa Ro-meo BT46 during the 1976 season. Off track, he drives a cream colored Alfetta GT. I did just buy the DVD so if you want a complete collection of Alfa related items, you’ll need to hit up Amazon.com like I did.

Fiat & Alfa Romeo of Kirkland is still awaiting their first Alfa Romeo 4C but they are hoping it will arrive by mid January. My money is on: It arrives when it arrives and not a minute before.

On June 24th, in Italy, Alfa Ro-meo is planning to roll out a new

car along with announcements about the future projects. Until then, its fun to see the prospects of cars like the Alfa Romeo 6C, an interesting rear wheel drive coupé powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 with around 500 HP

targeted for around 2017. This

same engine could be used by

Alfa Romeo for the Alfa Ro-meo Giulia GTA, which

supposedly is going to be shown in its base form at the June 24th event. Though we don’t really know what either car looks like, I sure enjoy the ren-

derings!

Just the Facts...

On Wednesday, January 14th, we will gather for our Club Meeting at Angelo’s

Restaurant with a special guest speaker. If you have ever seen Michael Kay’s

stunning Giulia Super or GTV, then you’ve seen the outstanding work of Peter

Emhoff. Peter will be the guest speaker sharing stories of his art work that he

calls car restoration.

Peter’s work is recognized as exceptional by customers and concours judges

alike. Though he’s done other cars, we’re most familiar with Michael’s cars

which have been at Viva Italia, the All Italian Car Gathering, Concorso Italiano,

and Alfa Conventions where they’ve won awards.

Join us on January 14th and listen to Peter tell a few stories of what it takes to

make cars as perfect as he does.

When: January 14 6:30 PM—9:00 PM

Where: Angelo's Ristorante 1830 130th Ave NE Bellevue

Socializing and dining starts at 6:30 with the meeting starting closer to 7:30.

Come and enjoy some post holiday time with your Alfa family.

January Club Meeting Wednesday 14th

NWARC January 2015 newsletter page 5

Our very popular annual New Year’s Drive will be held Saturday, January 3rd giving people a chance to see

a little football on New Year’s Day.

Our start point will be the same place as before, the Starbucks near Mill Creek exit from I-5 just north of

Lynnwood.

Start Point: Starbucks 1330 164th St SW Lynnwood, WA 98087

Start Time: 8:30 AM driver meeting!

As the route leader, I’ll hand out route guides at

our driver/navigator meeting prior to heading out.

Our drive takes us on scenic roads up to Skagit

County to our host, Fred Schuddekopp at Autostra-

da in Anacortes. Fred usually has a variety of road

and race cars in differing stages of build as well as

a few rare cars for us to enjoy. We’ll have a lunch

at Fred’s, and then we’ll also get the chance to visit

Ingram Enterprises. This is also an amazing treat

as Wes Ingram and Herb Sanborn have a world-

wide reputation for being SPICA experts, as well as

great engine builders, and overall Alfa car guys.

On top of that, they may be the two nicest guys in

the Alfa club. I’m not sure, but we can ask them

when we see them.

The timing for the after lunch is up to you to return

home when and how you’d like.

Lunch / Tour: Autostrada 2900 T Ave Anacortes, WA 98221

Bonus Tour: Ingram Enterprises 15613 Peterson Rd Ste C Burlington, WA 98233

As March approaches, hopefully people have more free time than they do in the busy days of sum-mer, or the busy holiday season.

On Saturday, the 7th of March, you will have a chance to tour some great cars.

Many of the greatest cars in the

world reside in museums in far cor-ners, or private collections throughout many countries. Get-ting them to come to you would

not be easy. Luckily we have a few

locals who have great car collec-tions in Bellevue that are world re-

nowned. On March 7th, we have the opportunity to tour three col-lections throughout the afternoon.

Jon Shirley, Greg Whitten, and Bruce Wanta have agreed to allow

us to visit their exquisite “garage” spaces, which are all located within walking distance of each other.

Jon Shirley started collecting cars in the early 90’s with a few fantastic Ferraris including the Ferrari 375 MM Rossel-

lini car that won Best of Show at the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours. Jon’s Alfa passion runs deep with his 1932

8C2300 MM Touring, 1938 8C2900 B Lungo, and the his-toric 1934 P3 that Nuvolari drove to an amazing victory at

the 1935 Grand Prix of Germany and Jon will be there to answer questions you may have. The other, non-Alfa cars are rather amazing as well.

Nearby is Greg Whitten’s freshly remodeled car storage

space and his wonderful mix of cars. Greg, an early key player in the success of Microsoft now shares his time with his work, and a growing family, but will take time to be with us, and his cars on this day.

A few of you may know Bruce Wanta, but his car collection

is also a few steps from Greg and Jon’s and is not to be missed. Bruce has a knack for finding cars that are both

rare, cool, and extremely low mileage. He also enjoys

many other really fun collectables… they are all worth a visit by themselves!

Since this is a really special treat, we have to keep things under control so I will open an online Registration tool for people to sign up. Additionally, we’ll have a $10 fee es-

tablished per guest with the money going to the charity of choice of our three hosts. It’s been 6 years since we’ve had this chance, so do not miss out. I will have the link to

the registration and more specifics in next month’s news-letter. Until then, circle this date in Red on the cheesy calendar you got for Christmas.

After Oregon legalized marijua-

na last Fall, following Washing-

ton’s earlier lead, members of

AROO contacted NWARC lead-

ership about planning a “joint”

chapter tour. I readily agreed

to help coordinate efforts with

Dennis Torgeson.

The dates we selected are May 15, 16 and 17. Initial

thoughts are to meet the southern contingent for

lunch in Packwood (or thereabouts) on Friday and

then continuing up to Ellensburg in the afternoon.

Accommodation rates and location are yet to be final-

ized, but after the Holidays, AROO representatives

will be negotiating for a block of rooms for us for

both Friday and Saturday nights. NWARC folks who

work on Friday could join us after coming directly

over I-90.

Saturday would be the “touring” day, with route yet unplanned, but would likely include heading up the Co-

lumbia and taking Alfa-routes around Central Washington, returning in time for happy hour and dinner again

in Ellensburg. Dinner will be at a different eatery than the venue for Friday night.

On Sunday, the AROOers will head south utilizing a route their leaders have planned. NWARC folks who need

to get right home can take the expedient path over I-90, while others may wish to participate in a designated

route over Blewett and Stevens Passes.

While still in the planning stage, I hope you all will circle the dates on calendars and intend to join us on this

Spring adventure. If you know already that you will participate, have questions, and/or wish to be notified as

plans are firmed up, please contact me at 425-241-9307 or g.hyde@aroc-usa.org. (By Gordy Hyde)

Books For Sale: Starting with the first 4-cylinder races on

abandoned airports in the early 1950s and wrapping up with

three big-time professional racing circuits in place at the conclu-

sion of the 1961 season, Long Straights and Hairpin Turns takes

the reader through a wonderful decade where skinny-tired cars

and their t-shirt-wearing drivers raced for little more than fun

and trophies. The saga is continued with Long Straight’s succes-

sor, Weekends of Glory, which covers the increasingly big time

racing era of the 1960s. Long Straights and Hairpin Turns is a

one-of-a-kind record of a fabulous era sadly neglected until this

book revived it for all race fans, young and old. It is available

from Martin Rudow at (206) 427-1124, email

rsp@eschelon.com, as well as at selected motorsports outlets

and bookstores. Sold as a set with its companion volume, Week-

ends of Glory, a $139.90 value, for $100 total.

out key parts, 2 three shoe brake drums, an oil pan from something soon after 101, some starter motors, a
