Steven & All:

Thanks for keeping the most beautiful IMHO of modern Alfas out there. 
Here's a link

http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/bennetts77833@domain.elided/vwp?.dir=/New+Photos&.dnm=Alfetta+at+Arctic+Watershed.jpg&.src=ph&.view=t 

to a photo of my Alfetta, 1980 after the Detroit Alfa Convention, 
returning from the lands of the Arctic Watershed (wish I could find the 
slide with the other side of the sign that says that<g>).

Too bad, after I had the bumpers removed and the bodywork and  a 
beautiful paint job done, too bad that within a year, rust bubbled from 
all over the body. Traded the car on a GT V6, I regret that; more 
powerful, but not room for 4 adults, quickly traded it for a Milano. 
Certainly the Alfetta GT was my favorite, most reliable and one of my 
highest mileage Alfas.

Best Wishes,
Bernie Bennett
