Hi Sprintn, am damned jealous of your office. The stuff of dreams for me out here in Tassie.
NZ is great, (and had another fun week over there our last winter), as anyone who has skiied there could tell you, but deep powder, thats another world. Have a great season. Hopefully one day I can make it a reality.
Now as to bikes (mine is a custom built EW Evans, Reynolds 531, campagnolo cranks, shimano etc, - UK) mine lately has been gathering dust. Need to drag it out and get back out on the road for some training. Definitely time to loose a few kilos, especially with Chrissie just around the corner. Dave

My 'new' 1995 155TS 2,0 16v Super
Finally, I have been fortunate enough to triple my Alfa garage holding. In addition to my 1972 Giulia Super 1300 I have bought a 146 1,6 boxer for my wife  and this fantastic 155 twin spark. It i a one owner car that has just been taken home from Italy where the owner, and elderly gentleman, passed away 6 months ago. The car is 100% original and has only a mere 57.879 km's on the clock. It looks, feels and drives like a brand new car!
Picture has been taken just after being washed, about a kilometer from where we live, near the beach. I am pretty saisfiede with the foto, the setting serves as a good backdrop and a contrast to the beautiful lines the 155 has.
May think about putting a set of OZ Superturismo GT 17" rims on for summer use and lowering it 20-25mm and a nice back muffler to give a good sound.
Or maybe just keep it stock.

Although I am not a fan of that kind of drastic modification, I certainly admire all the hard work, design, fabrication and money that it takes to finish such a radical project.
But, other than in a straight line, does it work?

Garment Failure?
What other charms remain hidden behind the veil?

It has adjustable 2 1/2" coilovers all round, adjustable TCA,s and Compression struts on the front and adjustable 4 link and watts linkage on the rear, the engine is set back so there is just 1 1/2 cylinders in line with the front bearings so I hope it will go around bends. After setting up early next year I will be doing some shows and a lot of track days, so we will see?
Thanks for thr interest.
Eddie

Slam 105
It is 302/C4 not sure of the power yet but hope to be near the 300 mark with the same amount of torque. A lot of effort went into the susension and when set up it should be like Sxxx to a blankett. Once set up I will be out and about next year to find out.
Thanks for asking.
Eddie
