Back in the saddle?
Well... somewhere around wednesday next week I pick up a new (to me) Alfa...
Flying from Brisbane to Adelaide and then driving back up in my "new" 66 GTV
Might have to start spending a little time on here again...

Yeah yeah, i know. but i've wanted one for ever, and it came up at the right price... Besides, I have to show the guys at work with a 156 and a 159 what a real Alfa is like instead of those Fiat things.
I don't think i could have another Alfetta series car, it would forever remind me of La Strega Nera (the car I should never have sold), and Porco Rosso (my dad's old GTV6GP)...
Maybe at some point i'll sell off the Falcon and build a really wild 116.

Yeah Z, I did have a GTA ish rep planned for historic rallying etc, but between the bare shell i had lined up being sold out from under me, the rules on the particular rally changing and then moving 3,000km it kinda fell over....
This thing will be basically a daily driver (sharing duty with my motorbikes) but will possibly be a little GTA-ified as i go... a panhard is fairly high on the list of mods (I'll effectively be building 2 panhard setups for 2 different cars at about the same time. Being realistic, the packaging hassles of building my own watts aren't worth the minor improvements over a well thought out panhard), although a Sliding block would be cool and completely impractical
The Alfaholics GTA rep is beautifull... but i'm in two minds about keeping the bumpers on it.
