?!?  mebbe there's another alfa digest in a parallel universe, and ewe were on
the wrong one for a while?!?  sure, this list gets off track now-n-again -
whaddya wanna do - grab yer uzi and mow everyone down that tries to make ewe
feel inferior?  the only one who can make ewe feel inferior is... EWE.  jeez,
i'd take a chill pill - there's a lot of folks that are a real blast on this
list.  i've met a few face-to-face, and had some nice off-digest conwersations
w/some others.  yust laff/shake your head/puke/whatever, when ya read stuff that
offends your sensibilities.  i suggest ewe grit yer teeth and try again -
nothing in it for *me*, but i tink yer cuttin' off yer nose to spite yer face,
as the expression goes.  remember, 98% of EVERYTHING is crap!!!

dug seed in,

'72 de tomaso pantera
'78 ducati darmah
'86 alfa gtwe6 - 3.0 shankle-ized bastard
'88 alfa milano werde
'92 alfa 164L
'95 buell s2

ps - spider drivers are sissies!!!  get a REAL car!!!  ;~)
