Heya, I get into Alfas with my eyes open. I was once a 'real' mechanic, 
made a living doing it, but nowadays I ain't got the time nor the 
inclination to fuss around with cars. I reserve my mechanicking time for 
motorcycles. 

But I still like to drive a nice Alfa and I'm perfectly willing to pay 
for a professional to do whatever's necessary to build me what I want. I 
make enough money to be able to afford it. Rebuilding a whole car is 
expensive ... heck, rebuilding a motorcycle is expensive, and there's 
less than half the parts to worry about. 

I bring my Spider to the guys I trust whenever it needs something. They 
do a great job for me. It does cost me money, but I deem it worth the bux.

Also, I don't see why the constant insinuation that the Tipo 164 is not a 
'real' Alfa is necessary. It may not be the right car for you, but it's a 
fine Alfa Romeo sedan and I'd love to have one someday. I'm tired of 
hearing this kinda crap.
