Is that why people put Harry Potter stickers on them?

Ha. I wonder whatever happened to that bloke? He had a thing for Hermione or whatever her name was too.

Wasn't he a proctologist?

Probably too up to his elbows at work to post anymore?

Wider front tires than rear. Makes sense given the weight distribution and bias but only car I know of where that happens from the factory.

Very interesting, you don't see those much at all in the US.

I might end up in the Tammy Wynette thread if I brought that home. Speaking of divorce and auto signage, I had an acquaintance who is a car collector with a turntable in his garage where he housed his collection. He had a sign collection as well. Each Xmas he hosted a party and had the caterer set up a bar on the turntable which was rotating slowly and which created an interesting scene as the night wore on. This amused him. Well anyway, he's getting divorced now and I'm not sure I'll be invited anymore since I am a friend of his soon to be ex-wife.

Maybe ask if he's got any Alfa swag he's willing to part with before he parts with his other part?

I've had a number of these:

A gas to drive, a love affair to maintain.

Uncle and I had an agreement that we'd jointly maintain it, but we ended up selling it after I wanted to sink a good bit of coin into refurbishing it, whereas his preference was to keep it OEM and just fix stuff as it broke, even when that stuff meant you were stranded somewhere inconvenient.

Final straw was when I was driving it up the highway, it started to rain, and I discovered that the windscreen wiper vacuum lines and pump had completely given up. Alternated between driving with my head out the window and using my free hand to wipe the windscreen with a cloth. Still, it turned heads.

Before I watch that, will I spoil the ending by guessing that the Mustang veers off into the wall, destroying it a mere 100' into the race?

No.
That one has a GTA dual plug 2.0 liter engine I think. I always lusted after one, but I've only had the 1600 and 1750 single plug engines.
I still have a 1965 Giulia Sprint GT in BRG, but, and I'm ashamed to say, it's sitting rusting, hasn't run in 10 years. Financial priorities include 2x college funding and a garage full of building materials.

Understood. Well, hopefully one day you'll be able to get that on the road again.

This guy lives in Teton village and is in his 80's. He's been driving the newest, most unique Ferrari's for years.
This was the first Porsche I've ever seen him in.
