Still wearing the SA clothes in the UK?

The Brits are not used to someone wearing shorts and t-shirt, maybe that's what draws their attention instead of your beautiful Alfa.

wow.... sun... are u allowed to use water so profusely?...

Ok so that sun was very short lived . I went to Castle Combe for the Alfaholics track day . Weather started off great with sun and then it got really bad according to the locals . I was just to happy to be out among the Alfas but I still had four layers of clothing on . Their were couple of spins including a few in in the tyres . The weather continuous downpour did not stop the day but I hear the numbers were much lower than last year . I managed to squeeze three laps in but nothing to serious .
Some pics to follow . Note my thumb trying to hold mini iPad in pic . ( this was on a very slow parade lap)

The lone transaxle . It was twinspark with thicker front anti roll bar29mm and heavier rear springs and that's all . Owner was having huge fun .

Some pics of a bolt in roll cage and good fuel tank set up for road race . Note the swirl tank recessed and the indentation so spare wheel fits .

Great to see you're settled in and searching out the Alfisti already!
So great you could take the carbi with you- it's such a beautiful car!

I may be doing Europe later this year... Including the uk...! I'll keep you posted!

Hi Kev

Great Cars, Great Pics.... Alfaholics do some damn fine work.... where u out in the 3.0?

[kevin]

No I was the only diesel on the circuit in the Giulietta I have pics but was to boring to post . I am only taking 3.0'out now as the rains have now washed the salt of the roads . Also struggling to find some one who will repair valve on my compomotive split rim . Everyone gets scared when they see it as though the rim is possessed . Looks like I will have to do it myself

Glad to see that you are settling in well. I am going back to the UK in August, first time in 15 years! I will be using my '84 GTV6 as a daily driver, kids are still small enough (5 and 7). Wish me luck...Fiat Estate is staying in Italy and no budget to get GTV6 back on the road and a daily driver. I think I must be mad. I will be in Cambridge but wife's parents live in Guildford so not far from where you are.
