Anyone going? Its next Sunday (11 June) at Stanford Hall, Lutterworth near Leicester. If you haven't been before its well worth it, last year there were over 100 Ferraris, 20+ Lamborghinis, about 80 Maseratis, plus loads of Alfas, Fiats, Lancias etc etc.
See www.auto-italia.co.uk (events section)
Maybe see you there although I will unfortunately be in my 145 as my 33 is a bit poorly at the moment!

Rich,
Although as you know I am a diehard 33 fan, I thought your 145 looked pretty good.
Regards,
Edward.

Can't go to Auto-Italia, but will be at National Alfa Day near Kettering again the following Sunday (18th). Will you be there again Ed so you can tell us about your Spin round Nurburgring

Thanks for the complement Edward - when did you see my 145?
Don't worry I'm not being unfaithful to 33s, they're still my favourite, its just that I needed something a little less elderly for everyday use - and incidentally they rust just as badly as 33s (mine is only 6 years old and already showing some worrying signs!) |

Rich,
The day that you collected the exhaust off me - in the rain at junction 16 M5!
Good to know i left such an impression!
Interesting about the rust on 145's. That is really quite supprising.
Edward ( with boring espace that day)

think you got the wrong man, Edward - I see I made a big impression!!
When we met I was in my 33 and we looked at rear disc conversions and engine changes!!! Thats why I wondered where you'd seen my 145!!
Yes, the rust is surprising - quite frankly I am appalled as I thought that the rust issues were resolved with the newer cars. Still the 145 is a good car, almost as good as a 33 but not quite!! |
