Way back when in the early '70s I drove an MGA, my first car. At that time, all the sports car drivers waved at each other. There was this great feeling of shared experience that I don't see too much of any more.

Before the days of the internet - I saw a 116 Giulietta Sedan and an Alfa 6 here in SF - both sightings nearly broke my neck!   I still wonder if they're out there somewhere...

Spotted two today!
A green 164 getting off the 24 freeway just before the 580/80 split in Oakland, and a very nice duetto, of which I took a few pics.

Out with the wife today and saw a black Giulietta Spider on side of the road, turns out it belongs to fellow BB'er Carl Goodwin, info here Giulietta/Giulia Spider Register
Turns out he just was outta gas, wonderful car, he really needs to post some pics, Had a great time learning about the car while I waited with him while his chase car went to get him some gas, would have stayed longer but wife was texting me to get a move on.

Why is it that I always spot other Alfas when I am driving a Non-alfa... Saw a guy in a spider driving past me the other day while I had the displeasure of driving a malfunctioning Chevy Blazer to the shop for a family member.... argh.
