My 3 month AK experience.

Yeah, a 1971 124 Spider was what started it all for me. Eight Alfas later all I have now is an 1987 Alfa Spider.

Welcome!
 
bshorey, so your friends with the guys at auto ricambi, bayless, and guy croft, just like me I bet. I am lucky that for stuff I can't do my self I have Paul from Diffata Bros. here in B more to help me out, that guy knows is way around the house of pinanfarina.
 
No Alfas in the shed for me - tho I did have a 63 Giulia body I dropped a 67 veloce engine and 5sp into when I got it running.
Had a 67 GTV after that - long ago now ...
These days I'm just commuting in a 2012 Fit 5sp ...

(My brother and) I still have a 1959 AR Giulietta Sprint "project" (in several pieces) stored @ one of the pole buildings @ our father's compound. Last itme it "ran" was in the mid 1980s. We dismantled it in the late '80s-early '90s with the intention of a complete rebuild but never got back to the project due to the interference of families, jobs, and a couple of other (American muscle car) projects. Oh, and an old Mercedes 250 coupe project.

Yeah, I know those guys of course. Most of my close contacts are in New England, where I lived most of my life, and now here in Ca, where I've been for the past few years.

I still have a couple of Alfas, and another Italian car, back in New England I haven't moved out here yet!

Well..

If you're never going to get around to putting that Sprint together, we should talk! ALFA = Always Looking For Another.

It was a fun car to drive, though as I came closer and closer to my present 6'3" driving the thing became increasingly challenging -- clutch pedal knee hittin' the bottom of the (non-tilting) steering wheel again and again and again and... (I bought this thing @ age 17, while still at University, and not yet fully grown)
 
^^^ I keep forgetting this is an "Introductions" thread as it's starting to resemble the threads @ our "Wings, Wheels, Etc." forums thread @ the bottom of the main page.
