Yep, we get spoiled out here. That's why ARA with 800 active members is 
the biggest independent Alfa club in the world, with the possible exception
of Holland. It's also why we have a major parts supplier (Jon Norman) and
the premier Alfa-only dismanteler (APE).

Probably not. Alfa isn't building the cars that most of our members can
afford anymore. (I know I couldn't)
