Death and Catalogs

[TJCallahan@xxxxxxx]

In AD v7n252, Dave Miller wrote "Lotus is dead.  It died with Chapman. Let's
talk Alfa Romeo." Well, by that standard, wouldn't ALFA Romeo have died with
Niccola? :-) Oooo, here they come ... more "True Alfa" postings!

On another matter, in AD v7n249, Simon wrote about Ca smog and mentioned the
Alfa Ricambi catalog. Do these catalogs really exist?!?!? I ordered a catalog
from ARicambi several weeks ago, long enough ago for the $6 US charge to show
up on my VISA bill AND be paid, but the catalog has never arrived. I trust my
postal carrier. (He can't successfully drive the postal van, what would he
want with a sports car parts catalog? Ask me how my planters know!)

I have heard/read about changes in the past 1+ year at ARicambi (most comments
less than inspiring), is this an example of those kinds of comments? What are
other's experience w/ ARicambi?

Replies on line would be of benefit to the greatest number of people, but off
line is OK if the comments are grossly inflamitory.
