fun on business: west coast part 1 of 2

Was on west coast for the last 2 weeks on business... In my spare time kept an eye peeled for Alfas. In LA didn't see too much, except a trashed & rotted S2 spider in the junkyard. Nothing in San Diego (was mostly working here). In Bay Area took a few photos... A stumbled upon Alfetta at Auto Milano in San Pedro.

Part 2. Later in the week I was with friend picking up car on Geary in SF and found a GTV in the midst of a repaint at the shop she was getting her car from. Asked whose car is that? Answer: "a customer's". Anyone know of these cars? It was fun to make these finds w/o really trying...

Yesterday afternoon going north out of Red Bluff was a car carrier with a Pagoda Yellow spider in the middle of the transport. I wonder where it was going? I was shocked to see an Alfa as that is a rare occasion on a car hauler.

Back in January - driving south on Gothard, before Garfield in Surf City.

My co-worker told me he saw a few Alfas in a parking lot over there, we drove through there en route to lunch. Couldn't find anything, then I look in my rear view mirror - "Hey!! That's my Alfa behind us"
a red 115.01 was driving behind us - we both laughed.

Yep, that's them, unless there are others around the area of Garfield. They are behind a wrought iron fence and a low wall that looks like a new restoration and race shop opening.

Spotted a nice red duetto heading North on 280 near hillsborough. I was going the opposite direction in the 71 spider.

Cabo San Jose, Mexico

whilst on Vacation, I saw this on the beach road in Cabo San Jose.

there are lots of twisties on the road from cabo San Lucas to Todos Santos, I was thinking about trying to find the owner to see if I could borrow it for a day.


It was there mostly everyday, gone every night.

Walking the streets, doing the tourist thing. Saw lots of Alfa's, visited the dealership as well. Sorry, couldn't figure aout how to "fuzz out" the plates.
