I think your search is too generic. There is no Alfa called 'Alfa Romeo Spider Touring Gran Sport'. They were mostly known by engine capacity / number of cylinders then body style, e.g. Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Grand Sport. Jonelle's selection looks like it might be what you're after. Cheers, -Don

Where I used to live in West Wales, the council decided to put in 8 or 10 speed bumps on a stretch of road. A year or so later, they removed them after various complaints. Try getting an injured, pregnant or sick person to hospital in a hurry - you don't need speed bumps. A local building firm was they only winner - they got paid a lot to install them and then they were given the contract to remove them.

I agree. And the 30 didn't have the later pointier fins.

Grace, space and pace... Not really.

Why this 'them' and 'us'? And in the end we're only ordinary men...

I need a set of these to combat the nazi stormtroopers - er 'Parking Wardens' that are killing local trade in my town.

All trimming does is tend the prop towards a stall. It never gives reverse thrust. So your Bug would only ever be able to go backwards unless the prop is reversed - twist each blade 180 degrees'll do it. Like Snake said... Totally worth it 'cos it looks great. I like the scoops. -Don.

Be watchful and keep it in a low gear...

It would make a neat gasser...

It was chronically underpowered too - had a 1.5 litre (90 cubic inch) Austin engine. Although not even a Hemi could have redeemed the poor thing.

I got this with a mix of intelligence, knowledge and dumb luck! Oh, and Google.

Looks good. I guess it's a J, Not sure about the orange chassis and running gear! Cheers, -Don.

I'm all for free speech but this forum is where I go to escape politics... Like Mike says:

Sweet!

They're all pretty impressive but the yellow one is what I want for Christmas please! Less is more Thanks, -Don. PS I was lucky enough to do a few laps of the Nordschleife in a friends E30 M3 BMW some time back, managed a lap in just over 10 minutes (he was sitting in the passenger's seat...?)

Aah the Yellow Bird! Thanks for posting, Brian.

Well I got the Capri connection but why would anyone make a fibreglass copy and use a ladder chassis rather than adapt a standard Capri bodyshell? did they want to increase cost as well as reducing structural integrity - or were they part of a plot to confuse a large number of Forum members? Fascinating, thanks for this bit of education!

Those headlamp pods were fibreglass, I discovered - an add-on to update the styling. The jury is out on that done!

I like spiders, they keep the fly population down. I don't enjoy their company however so I use the cup and paper technique to move them outside...? And on another subject, I was irked today when, having sorted my BMW 530i windscreen wipers yesterday so I once again have intermittent and constant wipe, the passenger side linkage failed. We hadn't touched the linkage so just a coincidence. Worked fine for 24 years! So now I have constant wipe but just on the drivers side...

What's not to like about this car? Form follows function. And some interesting searching for me... Thanks Michael -Don.

Disregarding all the (to me) base comments on how 'cute' Jesse was, does anyone know what went wrong on that run? She's the latest in a line that includes Malcolm and Donald Campbell, Parry Thomas, Malcolm Cobb, Craig Breedlove, Art Arfons and Gary Gabelich. The add-ons (and subtractions) to make it into a 'car' don't look too well thought out..
