Sir Mix-A-Lot Includes an Alfa in His Latest Video
In This Issue:
If you‟re a regular at Redmond town Center
“Cars and Coffee” on Saturday mornings dur-
ing the summer months, you no doubt have
seen several fabulous Exotics, as well as a
few Alfas. Sir-Mix-a-Lot‟s participation with
his LP-640 (or Ferrari Scagletti) makes it all
that much more fun. On November 16th, Sir
Mix-A-Lot premiered his latest music video, “Carz” at the
Redmond Town Center - and with lines like “Aint no Garage
Queen here”, and “All we‟re saying is that my suspensions
stiff, I never trip” it‟s hard not to like this song.

In early November, at our club meeting at 425Motorsports, we used a
few minutes to hold our official club elections. This was the completion
of the process where nominations for the 4 elected positions have been
open for over a month previously. The four elected club officer posi-
tions are Secretary, Treasurer, Vice President, and President. We had a
few nominations come in, and it all came together perfectly.
The Secretary position stays with Gordy Hyde who has done a good job
for the last year, sending out professional communications and keeping excellent detailed
records.
Our Treasurer, Thomas Jermann, was also re-elected which is good since he is in the mid-
dle of an important project. He is working to confirm our club‟s tax exempt status with the
Federal Government as it is with the State Government. He‟s also keeping the clubs bills
paid at the same time.
Joe Faherty was elected as Vice President. Joe
has been a key player in NWARC for years as
well as being a board member for the National
club.
After two great years from Harry Reed, we
elected a new club President, Merril Gordon. He
has been Harry‟s right hand person and has a
ton of Alfa passion.
The other volunteer leadership roles (Activities,
Webmaster, Membership, Editor) mostly re-
mained the same. The only change was for the
Activities person. Shannon Low volunteered for
this role and with his background supporting our
club he should be a great addition to the team.
Each of these people gives a little extra effort and shares their talents to help make the
Northwest Alfa Romeo Club the best it can be for the members, and all those we work with.
Thank you to each club officer and to those who volunteer to support NWARC.

News For Alfisti…
Make sure you pickup your copy of the December 2010 issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotics magazine. They focus on Alfa Romeo and its 100th
year! Lots of good Alfa Romeo info and very nicely done!
In the recently released DVD movie, The Girl Who Played With Fire, most
of the cars are Volvos, or Japanese… but much to my surprise, the tough guy
boxer gets into his car to go meet someone, and you notice it is an Alfa Ro-
meo 159 Sportwagen. He drives it very fast… perhaps that is why they de-
cided to use something from outside Sweden.
It's official: the first joint Alfa Romeo Owners Club (AROC) - Alfa Romeo Club
of Canada (ARCC) International Convention will be held June 17-24,
2012. A proposal is being written to host the first Alfa Romeo Association
(ARA) and AROC joint convention in San Francisco in 2013.
Our club members, Chuck Arnold and Kathleen Kelley are in the UK for a few
more months. While there, they are watching for Alfas we don‟t often get to
see. They spotted one of the new 2010 Alfa Romeo Giuliettas on the street
in the village of Avebury and sent this photo!
Happy December Birthdays to Ron Calkins, Kim & Tina Christiansen,
and Keith Martin.
Hoping for good weather…
We are planning our annual January 1st Anti Football Drive. This will take us up north on back roads enjoying the best of Western Washington.
We‟ll end up at noon at Vintage Customs & Ingram Enterprises in Burlington. Both shops are planning to host us with the help of previous expert
host, Fred Schueddekopp from Autostrada. Lunch, friends, and give-a-ways after a nice drive. It‟s a great way to start the new year!
When: January 1st, 9 AM start
Where: Starbucks at 1330 164th SW in Lynnwood 98037 (1 block East of I-5, off Exit 183 just North of Alderwood Mall.)
We‟ll meet at the Starbucks between 8:30 and 9:00 AM so we can head out for our drive. Please start with enough gas to drive over 100 miles. If
the weather is horrible or roads are icy, we‟ll have to cancel. Let‟s plan that it will be nice! Let‟s also plan for a good event and plenty of good peo-
ple and a few Alfa Romeos.

November Meeting Wrap Up
Our November club meeting came with a real treat and a nice surprise.
The treat was the great hosts and products they had for us. The surprise
was that they gave all of us a 20% discount for being there that night!
People were buying helmets, tire pressure gauges, digital cameras, shoes,
and more. They also explained their Project Management program for
building a race, street, or show car. They don‟t charge any money… in-
stead making their money by finding the best solutions and then sharing
the savings with you.
They showed us their full product line from Recaro, Arai, Griot‟s, Oakley,
OMP, Racetech, Momo, Piloti, and there were plenty of folks trying the fit of
racewear and race seats.
They are offering the NWARC members a 10% discount which exceeds the
amount of the sales tax… thus making this a net gain over buying online.
To realize your discount, our club code is ALFA1 for both online and in-
person purchases.
We also held our elections and the details are covered on page 3 of this
issue. Thanks to those who attended and participated in the fun evening.
