Speaking of Alfa fires;

What a terrible shame. All that effort, all to be lost in such a short amount of time. I doubt a fire extinguisher would have been any help, but reason #426 for having one in your car I guess.

With an extinguisher you would have had a chance to stop the fire WAY before it was as big as that. Don't underestimate a powder/chem extinguisher...

You are right Mats, the dry chemical extinguishers are very good. The problem is they don't last very long so you need to be ready to make an escape if it doesn't do the job.

The chemical powder itself will continue to do its thing after its been dispensed, but then the fire has likely moved also.

Barry - nice carbi! Glad the fire was stopped. We've had our share of bad ones here too!

Is that the little green 2.0 turbo that I see in the background there...? What are you doing to it?

Hey, I sent you an email about a friend's 3.7 156 for sale in Pretoria - shoot me a reply please (so that I know you if you are getting my emails and so that I can update your address!)
...to Alfa, or not to Alfa? That is the question...

love the black wheels on the GTV6 3.0 - the widened std rims would look good too

note that the standard wheels are BWA or Campagnolo - Campanatura is italian for offset.

and must check exting in garage - is an old one from race car - we have to replace every 5 years, but how long do they 'really' last?

hmm, bad typing - what I meant to say is that I should check the extinguisher in the garage...it used to be in my race car until the scruitineer said its too old (>5yrs)and I bought a new one. So if I have a fire...will it work?

Nice, I like some details like the front and rear bumpers, definetely not liking the rear aileron.
Somehow I think Giulies look best without any aileron at all.

Is it me or I spot a big brake conversion in front? :D
