Regarding reaction

Gordy, Friends on the Digest,

I had to comment on buying an Alfa via the net.  I have worked a couple
of deals for friends via the Internet with some success.  No money
involved to me, but good deals for folks looking to buy good Alfa stock
or decent race cars of various flavors.

I recently have purchased what appears to be a time capsule 63 Giulia
Spider, I will pick it up in August from the current owner who has had
the car in the family since the early 70's. I bought the car based on
messages via email, phone discussions and digital email pictures sent to
me by the owner. The car first appeared on ep.com and is in this months
owner. I don't expect to be disappointed, although I'm sure I will find
some things which don't meet my expectations.  I already am planning on
what needs to be done first, next and again.  First I will enjoy, since
I have not owned this year of Spider and can see me touring up Eldorado
Canyon road to Eldora then back to Boulder, CO on a weekly basis for the
grins. :-).

Alfa Romeo is more a 'state of possession' for serious Alfisti, which I
know the active Digesti (is this really a word) are all possessed.

Regards - mostly a lurker....
Don
