RE: SF to LA - no Alfas

[ltooz@domain.elided (LLe_2001)]

Hello John,
 I just got back from Vegas. The trip was Sunnyvale -->LA-->OC-->VEGAS-->Sunnyvale (started SAT morning, back Weds.). The car didn't even hick up once. With convertible top down (28MPG), top up (30MPG), very nice @ average 80MPH. I didn't really want to push more than 90MPH because I just got the car 2 months ago. Didn't know the car well enough. Got home safe and sound. All the curves of HW58 (Bakersfield) and HW152 were great @ 70-75MPH.
 The trunk was hot, melted all my candles. I need to find out why. The car looks great in Bellagio's vallet parking with all other non alfa convertibles.
 None Alfa all the way even in VEGAS.

Louis Le,
91 Black Spider Veloce,
Sunnyvale, CA
