Serpents and Milanos

[<dawnanddan@domain.elided>]

Greetings Alfisti !

Does anyone have a .gif or .jpg file of the Alfa serpent in color? ( you  
know : green serpent, red man, gold crown )  I have found one on black 
and white but not color.

And now a retrospective on my crunched/fixed/recrunched Milano. 

 About a month and a half ago I got rearended.  After getting lots on 
info on prices ( thanks Brian Shorey ) and dealing with  insurance 
companies ( thanks Terry Akins ) I dealt with the other drivers insurance 
co.  They send out an appraiser who happend to be an alfisto and is on 
this list ( he also desires to remain anonymous ).  He was able to 
appraise the car high enough to get it repaired instead of totalled.  He 
even found me a great body shop ( Harry and Alex's in Van Nuys).  They 
fixed the car for what the insurance co. was willing to pay and even 
painted my severely stone chipped hood for $100. I even got a cool Chevy 
Lumina ( I felt just like Fox Mulder ).

 When I got my car back they had completely detailed the interior, under 
the hood, and polished the whole car. It never looked better ( black Gold 
edition).  Unfortunately last thursday night a dog/coyote decided to jump 
at my car on a two-lane road.  It hit right behind the right front wheel 
and crunched the fender, broke one of the gray plastic rocker panel 
pieces, and put some waviness in the botton third of both side doors.  Oh 
well, back to Harry !

Nothing much left of the offending beastie.

Don't forget to treasure your Alfa's, you never know when they might get 
crunched.

Ciao !

Dan
