    Beautiful, reminds of the Maserati 250F that was at Road America this past summer

    Just for the record, in my photo the driver kneeling next to the flipped Alfa is the Alfa driver, not the Morgan driver that came to help. I was wrong in my earlier post. JT looked at my photos and described better what happened.

  • GS340Pete All new cars, repairs only, in chronological order:1996 Eagle Vision Tsi: $400 in repairs in 90k miles, and an under warranty fuel rail replacement. Did I get lucky? 2001.5 VW 'New Jetta' 1.8T auto. Transmission self-destructed within six months. "You're lucky this was under warranty, this would have been like 11 grand." Traded it immediately. Electrical gremlins started showing up too. 2002 Nissan Pathfinder. One $400 repair out of warranty, 02 sensor, in 100k miles.2012 Nissan Maxima, $0 in 24k.2013 Nissan Altima, $0 in 50k.2014 Dodge Charger AWD. $400 sensor out of warranty in 130k. Again, did I get lucky?
  • 1995 SC The Ridgeline is too new so nothing yet.The FIAT needed a tire (nail in the sidewall) and a lower steering column cover and a set of wipers. Around 200 bucksThe 30 year old Thunderbird has been needy this year. Just did fuel injectors to add to belts, hoses, motor mounts, exhaust manifold gasket, shocks and a bunch of caps replaced on various modules.Rear main has developed a small leak so I will probably have the transmission gone through when I drop it. I want to do a few things to it. I have some upgraded front calipers too but they are junk yard parts I rebuilt. Like I said, it has been needy this year but old cars do that sometimes
  • Tane94 Mini annual oil change at dealership, synthetic oil and new filter, $129 but sometimes $99 when a coupon is offered.
  • Mike Beranek All that chrome on the dashboard must reflect the sun something fierce. There is so much, and with so many curves, that you would always have glare from somewhere. Quite a contrast to those all-black darkroom interiors from Yurp.
