Re: [alfa] Alfa Romeo Brabham

["Dean" <tessiedog@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Im not sure on Patricks death that was just a hunch. I have a photo of him
suited in an alfa race suit next to the story of his death. The story doesnt
say anything about alfa though.
I wish I wish fiat would stick a Alfa badge somewhere on the dam ferrari.
Wouldnt that be nice.
Cheers Dean
