And if you find the time to share the story of the Alfa, I'm sure it will be appreciated here.

Agree on the stiffness, my dad was a motor head, been crawling around cars since I could crawl, Started racing at 40, finally could afford it. The very brief story on the Alfa, bought it from a probate sale, I am the third owner, 23,000 miles, all docs, orig paint always garaged and babied. my favorite car to drive, driving to willow w the top down. last prduction year for this model, 1993. 1900 produced.
