  1. On the road today, I saw an Alfa Romeo Spider labelled
    "Veloce".

    Alfa Romeo cars have been called Veloce probably longer
    than Campagnolo used the name. It's a common nickname given
    fast vehicles.

    I saw a K-type car called Volare.

    Veloce == fast

    Just one of the several "extra" labels that italian car
    builders love to put on their cars to make them look
    "different" (climatizzata, lusso, sport...).

    Alfa Romeo's are junk. I owned one and it was the worst car
    I ever owned. I would hate to use the word Campagnolo and
    Alfa in the same sentence. They have nothing in common.

    Include both terms in a Google search, and you'll discover
    that wheels from Campagnolo's automotive facility have been
    fitted to cars from Alfa Romeo (as well as De Tomaso,
    Lancia, Ferrari, and others.)

    And the 1969 Alfa coupe was the best car I've ever owned,
    albeit a lot less reliable than the Saabs I've owned since.
    Hated to give it up, especially after I finally figured out
    all the combinations of lights and fog lights possible with
    the three toggle switches on the dash.

    The offer that was made was pretty hard to refuse, though.
    And it was cash.

    I have seen that, but Alfa's are still [censored] cars.

    Yes they do -- many Alfa Romeos have Campagnolo wheels.

    They're not nearly as bad as Maseratis.
