Classic Car Appreciation

I can't say that this isn't a beautiful car - it's gorgeous! Yeah yeah laugh all you want but this old car not only holds 'classic' status but it's comfortable and fast! Maybe not fast like we know fast today but fast as in 120km/hr with twin carburaters on a little Italian Alfa Romeo GT Junior 1.3 engine not to mention a real treat on the road. Imagine you're Bond driving along curvy roads set into the cliffs high above the ocean and all you're worried about is spilling the Martini in your hand! Now thats what I'm talking about.

Alas the engine wasn't well looked after (the previous owner thought lack of attention might stop any mechianic from damanging her) and subsequently seized. So here Dear Car , Farewell! May you find happiness in Alfa Romeo heaven! and damn your previous owner who couldn't get maintenance right!

I was never able to name her - however Olive Oil was one of my favorites. Happily the colour wasn't my choice and she seized up before I could get it together to repaint her.

Another thing about this car is that it looked small from the outside and trust me it was/is (who knows anymore) a tiny car. Yet once you sat inside it (even with your partner) and it's like a flying 1st class ... tons of leg room yeah :D

One last Pro of this car; It could fit into almost any parking! :) My lady loved as least that about the car, she never had to trek miles to get to where we were goin.

So Long, Adios and Bon Voyage!
