Former Alfa Romeo Bumper Car
A guy built this from an old bumper car, it has a 4cyl. motorcycle engine. Any idea what year the grill etc came from? Check out the # plate.

I have a memory of seeing those at Prater Park in Vienna in 1981.

I've again spotted some Alfa-nut's stash at the 10th St. onramp to 101 in San Francisco, in a fenced off lot under the freeway: a black rubber-bumper spider, silver early Alfetta sedan with red/white/green stripe, and a white 164L... at least I think those are the colors, I was buzzing by in my own spider, getting on the freeway. Nice cars!

Where are you Alfisti in Vancouver, Washington? It's lonely here. Took the GTV in a big circle yesterday, Highway 14 --205 -- Padden Parkway -- and back, and never saw another Alfa. Not even a Fiat. But then that's the norm around here, where the annual lone Spider spotting is a big event. Hot Rods and British roadsters, well that's another story.

Spotted an Alfetta GT leaving the parking lot at work today, moving out Con Brio!....
...Jim!
Sorry I missed you.
A more interesting spoting this morning, while not an Alfa, was a nice looking Triumph Spitfire running west on I-565 between Huntsville and Decatur... with the top down! Spring is here!

Hey Larry! I left in a hurry, as I was confused and incorrect. Con Brio is in the garage, the whole family will likely be spending the night with her tonight as our storm shelter is right beside her.

I wondered if you guys were OK with Harvest getting it's second hit in 2 years. It looks like the worst is passed now.

Thanks Larry we're good, no damage in our neighborhood. However, neighborhoods were damaged just a mile or so away that were hit just last Spring. I'm beginning to wonder if this may affect our property values!

Glad to hear it, Jim. You're giving new meaning to "tornado alley" as in literally tornado alley.
See you Wednesday evening and we'll spot some Alfas then.
