Just curious, does a boatail/105 rear end break loose much more easily than a later model? Is it weight distribution or the non-LSD? Thanks, Bruce

164S, Euro Spider, 91 Spider
These are my babies. The S has original 70K miles; All are in excellent condition, including interior. I drive them all daily, on a rotated basis. It's amazing the differences in how they handle and drive. Keeps every day interesting.

OK, you probably expected this question.....from the plate on S, it looks like you're in Florida, right? How did you get the '98 legal here???

The obvious questions.....
Is it a TSpark Spider?........which one do you prefer?....how does it compare to our North American model Alfas?

Welcome to the BB. That is a sweet looking Monty you have there Brett. Ditto the GtJ/GTA replica project. All the best with that one. Dave
