Why is it that every other weather forecast i look at does not look so optimistic. Lmao hey i just need to look outside to see tommorows weather.... Wet and muddy.

Basically i forecast all the really keen alfisti showing up either way, but unfortunately despite tommorows forecast, i think todays downpour will be enough to deter the larger crowds. Ive counted ten people so far who have made other plans.
Unfortunate considering its the 100 year spettacolo, but the facts are that most people, and especially families with young children, let alone the alfisti who want to show off their gleaming rides, just arent prepared to participate in such conditions.
Hopefully i am proven wrong, and hopefully the day is a success as i know i will be campaigning the benefits of attending till the very end, and so far i will be attending, but realistically thats the scenario.

I would have been there with my son (2 yo alfisti already :) ) but the starter motor on the gtv started sticking and I broke TWO carby mounts on the same day.

The car still looks awesome in the driveway though. Actually thats the biggest complaint I have with Alfa's - you cant look at them and drive them at the same time...

I've said it before and I'll no doubt say it again.  You don't have at least one spare Alfa?  Madness, how do expect to ever get out of the drive?
