Seriously Folks, let’s all try to keep the rubber side down!
While this trio of Alfas was out for a drive, the owner of the red ’67 GTV hit a bad stretch of pavement and rolled the car. Driver and passenger walked away, shaken but not broken. Still, this photo gives me serious heartburn. Take a look at the license plate on what is now an expensive parts car; it reads “GTV 67.” My garage holds an unsmashed red 1967 stepnose, like the one in the photo, my California license plate used to read: “A67GTV.”

Dan also has a lovely 1959 Giulietta Spider Veloce, with 1500 kit and 5-speed.

Dan’s Milano Verde, which he refers to as his “Prince of Wales (POW) Alfa. I’ll let you British car fans figure that one out.

Dan’s Jr. Zagato is stock, but he thinks the Zagato body is more than enough to earn SNO creds. So do we. But we like it.

GTA parts are good. Driving skills help. But nothing lowers lap times faster than a genuine SNO sticker or two.

Alex Jordan’s GTV was still in pieces when his son was born. While pondering how to get the car ready for diaper runs, he had an idea for a rally … The Diaper Run 400. He pictures sleep deprived parents in half-finished cars and grocery getters as the competitors. I’m still trying to get the phrase “diaper run” out of my mind.
