Re: [alfa] Sports Car International

[George Graves <gmgraves@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

While I agree that Sports Car International is the very best general 
purpose American sports car magazine, they really only carry Alfa 
content when I write it for them  ;->.

On the other hand, the very best magazine for the Alfisti is a British 
magazine called "Auto Italia." Every issue has lots of Alfa content as 
well as Ferrari, Fiat, Lancia, Maserati, Lamborghini and every other 
Italian make, including ones you've never heard of before. The magazine 
is expensive at about $90/year for 12 issues, but it's cheaper than 
buying it on an issue-by-issue basis from Tower Books or Barnes & Noble 
where it's always a month late (at least -if it shows-up at all) and 
costs $10/issue. For your $90 you get it delivered airmail and you 
always have it about two days after it appears on the newsstand in GB, 
so it's not really that bad of a deal. It's a great magazine and I 
devour mine from cover to cover each month.
