room for cars... well we have 12 cars, plus one shell. plus one that belongs to a friend, moving out today.... off the top of my head...
and i dont really go looking for another alfa
my first 1978 GTV, and first car, was hit in the rear by a 4WD. quoted 7grand damages, for a bever panel, tailgate, and right rear quarter. [lights and GTV panel too.]
it wasnt my fault and he wasnt insured, so he bought me the grey 1982 GTV [worked engine
] plus cash!
but, a few years before hand, we bought some parts from a fella in shep, and if we wanted 2 rust free doors for free we'd have to take the shell off his hands... ok! but luckily we did because now thats our new rear-end for the 1978.
so while i was waiting for the cash for the accident [before i chose to buy/recieve the grey one too] i happened to be in melb, JUST LOOKING at joe's [milli miglia's] cars and fell in love with the 3.0lt...
so about a week later went back to claim it for myself...
the grey 75 was offered after i equired about a few parts [he was going to strip the car, but i just missed out on the engine and box], and when he mentioned EVO... it was pretty much sold...
the 164 was going to be my new cams for the red 75, but after washing it when we drove away, was just way too good to wreck! was a bargin too. only needs a right cv and driving/fog light then take it in for a roadworthy.
so thats how i got them [in that order]. but there is more of a story to tell for the 164 and 78 GTV...
