Today I was going to the plater to pick up some GTV trim that I had polished and was driving through Paterson NJ. I stopped by the Horseless Carriage trucking firm to see what they had in the warehouse, they have the contract to transport new Ferrari's, Lambo's and Maserati's from the port to all the dealerships. To my amazement I found 8 new Alfa's, 4 spiders, 3 159's and 1 159 wagon in plain view from the street. I was kicking myself because I didn't have my camera, I'll try to go back this week, maybe they'll still be there. Peter.

On highway 84 going west near La Honda, I was in a group of cars and saw, but nearly missed, a cream 80's spider heading east.

Nizam, that car is for sale, and I see it almost every day across the street from my work. The guy commutes every day in it, and my buddy Lenard (164 Family) drove it. At the time he drove it it would not engage 2nd gear, the seller freaked out and told lenard that he bent his linkage and told him to get out! He came by the next day and said he fixed 2nd gear by just trying to get it into gear a few times. The car is pretty rough in person, definately does not look loved. Funny to see it wind up on the BB though!

Anyway, here's another "Alfa Spotting" url. Some guy who's already under probation somehow manages to also own a Lambo Murcielago. He runs it into a bunch of parked cars in Santa Monica and wrecks it. The "Alfa Spotting" part is in the backdrop of the reporter doing the story ....

Yes, great eye! There is a White 164 in the background!! I guess it's Italian cousin saved her from being wrecked, lol. A Lambo Murchialago saves a Alfa Romeo 164! I like the headline.
What a freak that kid is, probably did a line in the car. They say the car was leased, yikes hope he had gap insurance. It does not really suprise me, I see these idiots all the time driving cars they cannot handle. I am actully suprised it does not happen more. I guess this got news attention because it is a
$300k Lambo?

Fresno Spiders
A friend of mine reported seeing two different black Graduates (neither one of them was mine!) in Fresno yesterday. One in the Tower District and the other near River Park.
