About Mid-Florida Alfa Romeo Owners Club Inc.
The Mid Florida Alfa Romeo Owners Club had a successful outing on Saturday, February 24, 2024! A total of 17 people participated in a road tour that led from DeLand to the Bulow Creek State Park where we admired a 400 to 600 year-old Fairchild Oak Tree. Afterwards, we completed driving the Ormond Scenic Loop and had lunch at an oceanfront restaurant in Flagler Beach before caravaning back to DeLand. In addition to the 2 Alfa Romeo Vintage Spiders and the 2 Alfa Romeo 4C’s, we were joined by a Jaguar, a BMW, a Miata and a Fiat Spider. Although the day was a little chilly, especially dining al fresco at an oceanfront restaurant, a great time was had by all. We hope to have another road tour in April or May.

Alfa Romeo Tech Session Recap
Thanks to everyone who came out today for our Tech Session! We ended up with 13 people, and several of you even got your hands dirty! We successfully adjusted the Spica fuel injection system in John Sorter’s 1973 Spider and he left with a much-improved car. He still has some work to do, but now the car idles properly and accelerates smoothly.
A special thank you to Ric Lovechio for sharing his intimate knowledge of these cars. All of us learned something today, even my wife Sandi who boiled the water for us to test the thermostatic actuator. We then all enjoyed a nice boxed lunch from Honey Baked Ham courtesy of John Sorter. It was great catching up and swapping stories with all of you who came today. We will certainly schedule more of these in the future.
