AutoItalia at Portofino

["Gareth Wright" <wrightg4@domain.elided>]

    Did anyone else attend the AutoItalia show at the Portofino Hotel in 
Orlando last Saturday?  Lots of neat Alfas, Maserati, Lamborghini, Ferrari
(What's the plural of Maserati, Lamborghini, and Ferrari?), and more
Panteras than I ever thought were manufactured.  Half the cars on display
must have been Panteras.  Even a few very nice Fiats.

    I fell for a beautifully restored Giulietta Spider (I forget the year),
but the hit of the show for my wife was a Fiat Jolly, with a fringed top and
wicker seats.  Supposedly, the owner used olive oil in the crankcase, and
balsamic vinegar served as anti-freeze.  I really don't want to believe it,
but who knows .....?  Anybody ever hear of olive oil and vinegar being used
in this manner?
