    Always Looking For Another - J. Michael Hemsley Episode 19

    In the news this week, Alfa Romeo sales are up in EU, down in US. The Quadrifolio is scheduled to return in EU but iffy in US.   The interview is with long time Alfa owner and automotive journalist, J. Michael Hemsley.  It took Mike four tries to get his first Alfa, a brand new ’71 Berlina, and he has owned a total of 17 Alfas.  He joined AROC in 1971 and has been a member for 54 years.  He began writing for Alfa Owner in 1980 with his column on miniature Alfas.  That expended to covering Alfas in motorsports then to motorsports in general.  Along the way, Mike became a journeyman automotive historian and has written, and is still writing articles, about rare automobiles for several magazines.  Underway is an article about the Giulia Ti Super and the Matta that were shown at the 2025 convention for Sports Car Digest. http://alwayslookingforanother.com @araknd - facebook/threads @ynsteward - IG araknd@gmail.com
