LOL, yeah, sometimes when those discussions pop up I realize that it's nice that I have a life. But we need guys like that so they can explain all those doodads to guys like me.

I was just looking thru the picture gallery on the masthead. Great pics, but I swear, I don't know what half the cars in those pics are. Yes, I know what a Duetto is, but now I find out that there are boattails that are not Duettos. Sheesh, just when I think I have one answer, they change the questions. I sure hope someone takes on this project, even one model at a time.

I hate to break it to you, but there WAS a Milano Platinum. (Yes, it's worse than you thought.) Of course, unless they were right next to each other, pretty tough to tell the difference between the Platinum and Silver quadrifolgio badges. One wonders who at Alfa thought that was a good idea.

Doh!!!! Oh yeah, that's right. While I was typing that I kept thinking that it did sound familiar. Yeah, what's up with all the damn models of Milanos? Thanks for setting me straight. See how much I especially need a pictorial guide, LOL.
