;D ;D ;D

In my case though, after owning 38 cars (inc. 19 Alfas) the first to end up on the back of a flat-deck was my one (and only) Toyota  :P

No way.  A Toyota?  Really? I thought they went forever.
An Alfa on a truck simply contributes to the 'extensive history file' many people include when they sell their car..

Saw a red GTV on a truck in Brunswick this morning.  Probably just on the way to get a tyre shine though.

I'd say more congrats, now they can buy a real Alfa. :P

That's usually what I say to GTV drivers as I pass them (on the track) with my aircon on, bingo wings flapping in the breeze thanks to my power steering and central locking....

Hasn't that rack started to leak (again) or are you saying that the seal "rejuvenator" is still working Sheldon?

Incredibly enough, it is still holding up, two and a half years later.  At the time I think most people didn't think it'd make it through the weekend!  Pulling the engine at the moment so I'll fix it up properly.

Well it is just us people with the faith, my original engine is still going even though the speedo tells me it has 528,000KM on the clock (lies) and you know how gentle I am with it. I even got another one as a spare but haven't had to use it yet. Good luck with the rebuild.
