Alfa pix - 5
Fine Alfas come in all shapes and sizes;
here are some beauties
 

Bob Hoye's gorgeous 101 "Spider Abnormale" lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. In the top left photo it's wearing
a decal for the Monte Shelton Northwest Classic Rally. Alterations include a 2L with 10.4 cr pistons, race-prepped bottom
end with everything balanced, etc.. The head has been cleaned up and is running Shankle 7 L cams, and DCOE 45
Webers. Brakes are the "big" ones with the 3 leading shoes at the front.

Alex Csank's fine looking Milano is known as "Trogdor." Note that it sports a SNO sticker for that all important extra kick when being
chased by the Originali Police. Trogdor, also seen with Kathleen Csank, on the right, has a Milano Verde 3.0L with 164S cams, Euro custom exhaust (no cat), BMW AFM, and "all kinds of cool suspension tweaks."

Australian Luke Wreyford gives a look at a pretty car on a delightful Alfa road. His 1981 Alfetta has a hopped up 2 liter with
performance cams & valves, ported & polished head, larger exhaust, and more.

How can anyone look at a Giulietta Spider and not fall in love. This one, Bob Hoye's, and those of other SNO members have me
pining over my first Alfa, a '59 Giulietta. The car shown here belongs to Jon Burningham, of California. Jon writes that it's getting a
"warm+ 1750 engine," as of the spring of 2009. The head is by Richard Jemison; Weber DCOE40's built by Gordon Raymond to
match the head; an  aluminum flywheel; and Seinz connecting rods.

Washington's Wes Greydanus has a fleet of fine project cars, not to mention a wonderful view of Gig Harbor.
He says his cars include: "..two future Vivo Verde Spiders and a running 66 Duetto formerly owned by
Ted Bluechel, then my brother Lee, saxophonist in  a 70's rock group that never went bigtime, and now
by little old me."

The Duetto just looks right from every angle, doesn't it? This is Rod McNae's 1967 Alfa, which lives on scenic Whidbey Island, Washington. Having enjoyed the island in my GTV several times, I can't imagine a finer place for top down cruising.

It pays to remember, however, that the major growth industry of Washington State is traffic enforcement ... or so it seems.
