SteveK - there are all sorts of stories connected with the shamrock and it seems no one knows for sure. The one I like though is that years ago before a race the daughter of one of the mechanics picked a four leaf clover and gave it to her Dad who put it in the car. That day they won the race so they started painting it on all their cars. The four leaf clover is part of the crest of the Lombardy region and also of Milan so that may also be a reason it is used. Alfa actually use Cloverleaf as a name for their special edition cars - or they used to - not sure if they still do.

Thanks for your comments and I especially like the word "old", that's exactly what I was trying to represent. So great you can feel it...
