    Hey Hemi

    I knew you just missed but it was fun coming up with a new screen name for you :D

    I thought I'd get your attention and you'd re-read also know you got a good sense of humor..... Something lacking on the HAMB sometimes

    Late in the day as we headed toward Bresia several Alfas came to join the Turtle's car I was happy to put a move on each with success. The BMW would run over 120 in third and a tad over 155 in top. That's miles not KMS

    Up comes a Monza You let him by and move up to his door when you here he's near done just select "3" go ahead and when I new the megaphone was in his face select top and drive off

    Imagine three days of total street racing with total of 3-4 hours sleep total

    It's change now. I sold that car and retired

    Did that event six times last three spraying nitro in my face when no one was looking

    I will put a two speed RE in the Volpi when I get around to it

    I love coming outta the sun on the Autobaun AND coming from Poland the sun is always at your back in the cool morning air!

  4. I was browsing an O/T Automotive forum tonight ... and stumbled upon some more pics of Bluto's Volpi chassis:
