New spider sighting on the 'telly'...

["John F. Davis" <jdavis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

  Hi All,

Thanks to all who replied to my brake fading problem, I'm ordering
a MC kit this week.

Last Sunday, not being an avid sports fan of American football pre-game
show (soccer in more my game), I was watching the latest installment
of "Ballykissangel" on BBC America  when a little red sports caught my
eye zipping around a sleepy village in county Wicklow, Ireland.

Boy, it did that make me envious and homesick, having emigrated to
Florida 10 years ago. I sure miss going down the country for the
weekend and especially following the Circuit of Ireland Rally at
Easter. My brother and I  had our fair share of  Alfasuds, Sprints
and Guilettas in the early eighties. Those cars were made for the
Irish country roads.

Hey wait a minute, before I get to emotional and pack my bags to head
back to the old sod.... I've just checked on the web and that shiny new
Alfa Spider costs a whopping 32,000 Irish Punts (US$48,000) Yikes!!
and with gas (petrol) at $1 per litre or $4.50 per gallon, those weekend
drives can get very costly as reality sets in. Ah well, maybe when I make
my fortune here..;).Ha, ha!

Regards,

PS. 'Slainte'(Health) to all my fellow Irish Alfisti in Ireland and around the
       world and if you're ever in Drogheda, check out the The Weavers on
       West Street for a pint and some 'craic' (fun).
