    One of my co-workers here took advantage of this 89-degree Feb winter weather to bring his toy to work. Pretty neat little car, it's a 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider, it's driven year-around and is in gorgeous shape!

    Just took these pics over lunch, thought ya'll might like to see it.

    I especially like the baby seat, he has to drop his kiddo off, and the kid's seat is bigger than the actual passenger seat! Hahaha!

    My Uncle Gianni would ONLY drive Alfa Romeos. (He lived in Padua, Italy)
    First time he ever visited the US, I let him drive my 79 Trans Am (it was a 400/4 speed/4 wheel disc WS-6 car).

    He loved his Alfa's, but he went NUTS with all that Pontiac torque; we had a blast...

    I'd have to butter myself to squeeze into one - and even without that, I just can't find any part of me that would want one.

    That said though, I do dig that other people dig them so that they never become extinct.

    Yep standing next to it I felt like a giant. It's tiny. That said, it's neat to see stuff like this still being used AS TRANSPORTATION and not as something to just stare at in a garage or at a car show. All cars are made to be driven!

    And it's fun to see stuff like this in the work parking lot!

    Oh yes, those Alfas are sexy, and I don't throw that word around lightly.

    I love seeing people driving the "special" cars. Really enjoying them. If the weather turns he could always put in the back of your wagon. :biglaugh:
