Winter work?



I really keep thinking I must start to get rid of a lot of the cars I have about me, and find something to do with all the Alfa spares I've accumulated over the years, because my unit is costing me £400+ per month and these days I'm not trading anywhere near that much out of it - so its just an expensive man-cave. Problem is I don't get up there that much as milady is nearly 89 and getting somewhat frailer - we spent 17.5 hours at A&E this weekend as her BP was way over 200/120 and she was dizzy. I can't really be leaving her for longer periods of time to go and do the work at the unit......and in all honesty as I'm well into my 70s I don't have quite the enthusiasm (or strength/agility ) to do what I really need to do.......but I don't want to just scrap everything I have at my unit.


Sure I'll work something out


Anyone want an Alfa 75 track-prepared car - though it hasn't turned a wheel in years......or any other Alfa-related projects?

morninggents should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
How much for the GTA you must have stashed away somewhere?

yeah I should have done to get the maximum reach for my legs. Although maybe I should have junked the seat and sat in the back.

It is a bit of a struggle! Drove the car for the first time today, it's completely changed the driving experience I don't stall it anywhere near as much.
