Group,
In response to a statement about non-availability of workshop manuals, I mentioned that the Alfa Romeo Owners Club has reprints back to the 6C1500. I almost highjacked the heater blower motor thread with a promotion for Alfa Club membership, but thought to start this new thread promoting membership in an Alfa club as an addition to participating in the BB.
Now, to prevent a flame war, I recognize there are apparently a few people who have had bad experiences with Alfa clubs or chapters. These people, for whatever reasons, are no longer inclined to be members, along with owners who are just not "joiners". On the other extreme are club loyalists who are already members. With the popularity of the internet, a lot of Alfa information that was available from AROC or ARA (and individual chapters) can now be found here. The Alfa BB is, without doubt, a GOOD THING, but this is a message to the great mass of "in between owners", those who are neither members or are not "non-joiners": please consider joining whatever club suits your needs, either AROC, the Alfa Romeo Owners Club
http://www.aroc-usa.org/community/index.asp or ARA, the Alfa Romeo Association
http://www.alfaromeoassociation.org/about.html. These organizations have kept the Alfa Flame alive for years, and need your support now. Wonderfull activities like the 2005 AROC Convention in Seattle can't occur without Alfa Clubs and active local chapters. If you're an Alfa lover, there is likely a club chapter available somewhere around your area. Please consider joining.
Thanks for listening...
