I thought it would be very interesting/fun to actually see the faces attached to the cars and threads, maybe mention why you own an Alfa Romeo and how you come upon them.....
Maybe age, what you do for work?
I'll start....
I drove my first Alfa Romeo in 1986, it was a 1976 GTV, the 4 cylinder with the the 2.0 engine, I was 17. My best friend Scott owned it and was this thing fun to drive. We ended up blowing the engine on a 100 MPH plus drive to Yosemite from the Los Angeles area. It made the trip there, but died in Bakersfield on the trip back. He sadly let the car sit for years and some guy bought it for parts.
In 1989 I took a test drive in an 87 Spider from Beverly Hills Alfa. The sales person allowed me and Scott to take the car off the lot. I was driving a VW Scirocco at the time. Being very young and dumb, we took the car from Beverly Hills to Newport and Laguna Beach. By the time we got back, several hours later, the police had already come and gone, they reported the car stolen and were in the process of towing my VW. We showed up, wondered what all the commotion was about, didn't buy the car and left in my VW. They were very upset, but had nothing to charge us with.
I own a 1967 Spider, with dunlop brakes, Webers, red on black. Bought it about 15 years ago, still trying to finish it up... very close!
I teach high school mathematics (47 years old).....
My hair was much darker back then, I blame the fiery red head for the graying head.
