I'll be in the Goodyear/Avondale area the week of Jan 20, 08 for several days, and would like to meet up with some Alfisti to talk Alfas/racing/etc.

Email me direct this week (Jan 13) with contact info, and your phone number.

Thanks, George

Thanks, Jason

I'll add that to my schedule. I have directions to your store and plan to visit it also. So Wednesday seems like a good day to do both.

Remember that Olive Garden commercial a few years ago that has the two guys brining there uncle from the old country to Olive Garden? I'll bet he wrote them out of the will as soon as he got home!

With the market tanking here like it has I may have lost 40 to 50K in pontential profit on my house. So I won't be selling in the near term, still may move but not sure where. I have a business opportunity in New Mexico but it would work in Phoenix too so I'm weighing that also.

I'm Dutch, Indonesian and a splash of German. You can guess where I get my tan from

I may be out for SuperBowl but now that the Chargers are out the enthusiasm is a bit lower than normal.

I am no fan of the Olive Garden by any means (Italian food for people who want to say/think they eat Italian food but don't actually want to do it), but the reason the chapter meets there is very simple. It is the only place we could find that could accomodate us in a private/semi-private room without charging an arm and a leg, was centrally located, and also takes separate checks.

We used to have a great meeting place in downtown Scottsdale, but it went out of business. The next place was pretty decent foodwise, but the meeting space was too small and frankly the service was not that great sometimes. Trust me, lots of folks have put a lot of effort into finding a decent place to meet over the years, and it just ain't that easy. Jason, if you have a better idea, let the local chapter officers know.

Hi, My wife, and two dogs will be visiting my new Grandson in the Gilbert area during spring break, March 22-28, 2008. I am from So CAL and an active member of the club. Sure would like to talk to someone about what Alfa activities are going on in AZ. Contemplating a move to Valley of the fire, oops I mean Sun. Looking forward to hearing from someone, and having the opportunity to talk about our cars.
