    Here is little more about Angelo Vassena..He is a very fun man to hang around.
    Angelo knows the world..

    I meet him back when he worked for the Carniti Outboard factory in Italy..
    The first picture shows Angelo trying to sell Cassius Clay/ Muhammad Ali a small Carniti Outboard at the Miami Boat Show 1972.

    Than there is more mixed pictures of Angelo..

    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    I'm with John in wishing you a happy birthday. It is your birthday present to us at BRF that you resumed where you left off. Glad you got some pictures you were looking for, and the additional history of the other guys ties into the sport from those days. You and Corina have a good one along with your friends Lars.
