And then there's this... How many of you Alfa guys are into vintage rallying? A small group of the Porsche guys I hang with are and so am I. I'm a contributing writer for 000 Magazine and earlier this year wrote a story about vintage rally equipment. I have a few mechanical watches in my car. Also a Halda Twinmaster which is an accessory rally odometer that reads to 100th of a mile instead of the usual 10th. Here's a photo of my interior that was used for the article:
The stopwatches were made by the Swiss company Heuer. Tag bought Heuer in the mid 1980s so today they're called Tag-Heuer.
I'm not really into Tag-Heuer at all... only Heuer. Heuer has a HUGE following with many, many collectors out there. Heuer was really immersed in motorsports back in the day.
My watches above are from left to right, Monte Carlo (stopwatch), Master-Time (clock) and a Sebring (split-timer stopwatch).
A very popular combo for the dash was the Rally-Master. That was two watches, a Monte Carlo and a Master time. That's what the next shirt is based on.
Here it is:
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Thanks guys.
