As if winning races weren't enough....

[adoherty@domain.elided]

In between watching the Raiders thump the Patriots last night, I watched a 
certain amount of the TouringCar races in the Czech Rep. Anyhow, as the Alfa of 
Gandolini (?) overtook the BMWs into first place, there was a quick camera shot 
of a silver 156 wagon pulled to the side with steam emanating from under the 
hood.... British git commentator: 'Ohh, quite a heart-wrenching site for 
Alfisti, as they all know Alfas can be raced quite successfully, but regular 
Alfas are a breakdown waiting for a place to happen....' A close paraphrasing. 
And just when you thought sweeping all the races was enough.... And to complete 
the conspiracy, the same git later opines that once BMW get their engine sorted 
that it will end the dominance of the Alfas. You could almost hear the axe 
grinding in the background.
