Hudson,
Perhaps you'd like to brave the roads with the 330, and join us in Alameda for All Italian Day on October 9?

On a less amusing note, after spending much time locating (in Holland), and paying (a considerable sum) for a piece of curved tempered glass for an Alfa Romeo Junior Zagato, and being patient about shipping, it finally arrived yesterday.

I've had all kinds of fun stuff with me, from coils of 24k gold wire (deadly, no?), tabla drums packed along with tach and speedo cables, to an 9" long articulated silver fish.

We had an Aurelia Convertible that came in with a loose clamp. It idled just fine, but was a bit anemic running on three cylinders at speed. Missi...

Pardon my commentary from the peanut gallery, without introduction. When Cornelius is referring to messing, he's not talking about how clean you work. It's German for brass. And if I may, in regards to his assumption re the advent of the self-canceling column turn signal switch, Lancia used them in ...
