    Thumbs up visit to an incredible car collection april2011

    hi
    i saw a lou russo today about a visit to his unique collection of cars
    this alfa is one of his recreations built from the chassis up

    lou re developed the original electric fuel injection designed by alpha around 1936
    he built the system from scratch armed only with the original patent drawings
    he built the rest of the car from drawings , this is the only one in existence with the fuel injection, the other one the alfa factory has , and is a carbed version
    he is a fascinating guy to talk to
    i called in just to grab a phone number, and was still there two hours later
    the best mornings work that i have had for ages
    i am looking for a date around the middle of April next year
    this will be limited to around 30 people
    so get your name in
