PICS - Countryside Report #5 (or pre-Country to be more precise!)
Frank - thanks fore the coverage of the show. I was too busy eating good Chicago pizza to stop to get any photos the night before. Sorry about that, but I did snap a few at the Ferrari show the day before.

And the parking lot sometimes has the most fascinating cars - those Lotus Europas are the lowest cars I have ever seen:

That engines gotta be here somewhere!
As for the Europas, you are right Karl they are tiny - certainly never one designed for the US Market.
Nice haul on the Alfas. Who made the 33Twhatever?

33Twhatever... for Lee
Minichamps did many 'red box Alfas', same casting as their normal series but in larger red boxes in different colors or race liveries. This one came out in 2008 but was always too hard for me to find at a reasonable price.
