Title: Which is more sacrilegious?
Post by: Sheldon McIntosh on February 09, 2010, 09:24:41 PM
An Alfamino (http://jalopnik.com/5466567/life-too-normal-try-the-alfamino-project) or a Stanghini (http://jalopnik.com/5466697/man-builds-mustang-out-of-lamborghini-world-goes-huh?skyline=true&s=i)?

I have to say, if they'd done the back window on the Alfamino a bit differently, that would actually look half decent....  Needs a 3.2 24v though  ;D

ah you lot are missing out on the Giulia ute.  The name is definitely tosser material BTW.  However, if you knew your Alfa history, this beastie was created many years ago by the same guys who also built up the 1750 Berlina called Mortimer 2 and went track racing with that car.  Mortimer 2 included Ferrari F40 seats, brakes, a seriously worked engine, suspension etc etc and was damned fast. 

The Giulia ute, was previously painted gunmetal grey and I seem to recall it was built up in Mexico. 

I actually don't have a problem with it, given it is a one-off and was built when Giulias were worth virtually nothing.   There was a guy over here in Tassie who had a ute made out of a Puegot 604 and that too actually looks ok.

Whereas the lambo powered Mustang,  nah not for me !!

That's just what an Alfa of that vintage needed...a larger water catcher and more corners for it to get trapped in ::)

Very funny I was trying to twist my lips to say the clever play on the name ;D

PS For the record it's Giulietta unless the cars you had were the "not quite right" chinese copy.
