Viva Italia!

  3. to me they invoke the simpler times of the 40's and 50's. they were prosperous times. You could leave your doors unlocked, you could leave you bike on unattended and it would be there when you came back, children listed to their parents, there wasn't much crime or drugs. people respected each other. It was the best times there would ever be, but we thought it would get better, but we were wrong

  4. Amber:

    I'm back. Thank you for visiting my Blog. Over the years, I used to have TWO MGB's and TWO Alfa's: 1963 Guilia Spyder 1600cc twin cam, 5 speed, and 1973? Veloce GTV 2000 FI can't remember exact year but I had them both at the same time. Over here, parts are are to come by so I switched to american made convertibles such as: '67 Mustang convertible. I have had a lot of convertibles but eventually made my way to Corvettes. The one you see is a C5 Roadster and before that I had a C4 coupe

    again, thanks for stopping by
