1974 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV
A friend of ours, Mark Daddio, found this Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV in storage where it had been sitting for three years. It’s was last registered in 1983, as far as we can tell, has 69,000 original miles and it has had quite a bit of bodywork, including a high-quality paint job.
Unfortunately, it was purchased without quite a few parts, including glass and trim. We’ll be sorting through the boxes that it comes with to see what exactly is missing, and Per is going to take it racing.

Alfa Dances on Track Jun 11, 2007
We had a lot of fun with our Alfa out at VIR at the 2007 Gold Cup Historic Races. The folks at VIR were kind enough to let our “street car with a roll bar” run in Race Group B with under 2.0-liter cars, instead of the 2.0- to 2.5-liter cars in Group A. That took some pressure off our first track outing in a still-fresh car.

What's this?If you're reading this, you've probably seen these odd links with funny names somewhere on the site and want to know what they're all about. Well, prepare to feel a bit more Net savvy. Those links are what the geeks call "social networks."
Social networking sites allow you to store and share links and pages across the Internet. It's like taking your bookmarks list and being able to see it from any computer.
Even better, social networks allow you to steer friends, relatives, colleagues and pretty much anyone else to the cool stuff you've found, so they have something better to do online than watching the skateboarding squirrel video on YouTube for the thirtieth time. You're making the world a better place.
The only catch is that while all the social networks are free, you do have to register. Each site has a slightly different focus, so take a look through the links and see which service suits you best.
