I just discovered the podcast for car enthusiasts! Cars Yeah! and the Carsyeah.com website. Good listening and great stories about cars in general and specialty cars and automotive luminaries.
A place for news, video and audio about Alfa Romeo cars and enthusiasts.

How I Celebrated "Drive Your Alfa Day"
It is the 104th anniversary of the founding of A.L.F.A. and "Drive Your Alfa Day".
I took Margherita out with some of her cousins from Maranello on one of my favorite drives here in San Diego County. The driving group was composed of about 7 Ferraris (including a pristine F40), a couple of Corvettes and a couple of Infinitis.
The route was eastbound on SR76 to Palomar mountain, then a 5000' ascent on the South Grade road where my little Alfa kept pace with the 308 QV ahead of me all the way to the top. We went down the East Grade back to 76 and then a stop at Lake Henshaw for a breather. We then headed for more twisty bits on the Mesa Grande.
Came back down through Ramona and down the hill on the famous Highland Valley Rd. for lunch and debrief at BJ's. The sun was out all day, the roads were relatively clear of slow traffic and it was just the most fun I have ever had in my GTV6. When we pulled into the parking lot of BJ's I called my wrench, Erik, and thanked him for all his good work, since he was mainly responsible for getting Margherita into condition so that I could make that run.

La Jolla Concours d'Elegance
It was another early start on Sunday, after getting up early for Cars and Coffee, but I had to be there at 5:30AM to be ready to help direct car owners on to the show field at the La Jolla Cove park. It rained the night before and it looked like all the hard work of chalking out the numbers for the show field was for naught, but it worked out. Over 160-170 cars and motorcycles on the green! Some very nice vehicles, including some that don't see the light of day except for these shows.

AROCSD Events
It's almost time for the new Desert Classic Concours d'Elegance in Palm Springs. It's going to be March 1. Maserati is the featured marque, but the news is that the first Ferrari chassis built as a single seater, Formula 1 race car will be on display for the first time in decades.
San Diego Alfisti will be driving up through the coastal mountains to the Palms to Pines Highway and then down to Palm Desert and up SR 111 to the O'Donnell Golf Course. There will be a Car Club Corral so we can pitch our lawn chairs and picnic, if we so desire.
