@rsporsche: I am driving in an limited 80 km/h area (see yellow stripes/construction site). Mobile phone in one hand, trying to focus while trying to keep the E9 on track.. Maybe I was at 160 km/h 5 minutes later - but too risky to take a foto than.
It’s from a 2000cs then sent to Madera along with all the wood so it matches. I always envied the RHD cars.
And not cheap
Having the same side draft Webers, the Tii brake booster, and the battery in the trunk makes this about a thousand times easier.
Yeah, it's a tight fit with the battery right there, but I managed. Would be pretty tough with the bottom bolt canister.
That torque curve is a thing of beauty...at the wheels, even. Jealous!
Cheap... Until you add the VAT. I think it came out to $120 for both to the US. I can have them shipped to a German address but they don't seem to offer Germany as an option.
When I got my car I also discovered Italian air horns with a switch on the steering column. That now controls my driving lights which are also 642's - I love them and suspect you will keep them on 24/7/365
Now that is an intersting airbox for the ITBs - self made or is it also made by Racehead?
Now that is a name I haven’t heard in a while! He used to own the rights to Concorso Italiano and lost it when the Black Horse venue was being renovated and he took the event to the Fort Ord airport in Seaside. Let’s just say the Ferrari and Lambo owners (1600 Italian cars) weren’t pleased with parking on asphalt and he had signed a five year deal for that location. Sometime around 2008 maybe? He may have gotten it back later but it has never been the same. Jay will remember as he was there in his Alfa.
What an amazingly small world! I met him a few years back while on vacation in Priest Lake, Idaho. He was road tripping his green Maserati something or another with a big group of cars and they happened to stop at Hills Resort where I was staying. I probably have a picture buried somewhere. I did not know he was so local!
