How is this for phenominal organization skills.

They say a picture is better than a thousand words? Congratulations to all the Geneva organizers. I've always wondered how long before they made Alfa Romeo the featured marque. Too funny.

There were a few Alfas in the show. Maybe they got a better location than that Aston off in the corner. I didn't take any pictures of the Alfas though because they were all recent spiders...

Somebody brought a new Fiat 500 to the show.

See there is a spider in the background of this photo

Alfas were represented by the Spiders of Steve Crowley and Jim Hand in a terrific show of cars from many eras and styles.

My son, Will, and I were meeting a group from the Austin-Healey Club. The battery in the Healey was dead so we ended up driving the GTV down. We didn't realize that there was a parking area set aside for the Alfa Club so we just parked on one of the nearby streets.

There was an Alfetta sedan in the the club parking area that left as we were arriving. We also ran into Dan Romeo.

One of the highlights for us was the new Fiat 500 with Michigan manufacturer's plates.
