Title: Video : '71 1750 Spider chased by '72 Porsche 911T

That Porsche chasing me again, this time out our local backroads one early morning.
Bare in mind 911T has upgraded 270bhp 2.7litre flat six :-)

I'm putting together an "Alfa Only' Vid from around the same area, so will post that soon as well

Great vision as usual . When did you get the car back from the body shop , what work did you end up getting done ???. Also looks like you have moved away from the Yarra valley for your EMRs> Whereabouts was this clip shot . it looks like out the back of Woodend???.

Hi Paul...Car has been back for a month or so now. Just had the main body repaired and painted {no engine bay or underbelly} Few teething problems with boot fitment on new rubbers, fuel cap not fitting, front glass trim not fitting etc etc,etc,etc  but generally happy with the result.
Popped into the Italian Fest with her last Sunday and meet a few of fellow members....great day.

Just had the carbies rebuilt, new engine mounts, and a few other rubbers and such...wow what a difference.

The whole suspension and spring set up is totally stock, and I'm finding she moves around a lot with her tail in the air under braking. Body roll is even a bit excessive for my liking so I may look at the alfaholics set up in the future...

Here's the little follow up vid of just the Spider....I like this one.
We tried to really capture the involvement of driving a 70's 105 Alfa Romeo...
Not sure how successful that was, but we had fun shooting it !!!
