... NOTE: If anybody has trouble saving any of these 4 Alfa Romeo images it is probably because the file titles include a dot at an inappropriate place. The proper model number is 2.98 as shown but your computer may not like that. Let me know if you'd like a copy with a more readable title. -- Paddy's Pig |

Pat,
I do have the 'dot' issue but work around it. That said, the international convention is a 'comma' in displacement descriptors instead. FWIW, I think this is an 8C 2900, but I didn't open it yet. john "Padraig" > wrote in message ... > "Padraig" > wrote in message > ... > > > NOTE: If anybody has trouble saving any of these 4 Alfa Romeo images it > is probably because the file titles include a dot at an inappropriate > place.

Ol' Zincy was there too but he got a call from work and had to go in. I'm not sure how many shots he got before he had to leave --- or even IF he got any. As it was, we never even crossed paths before he bugged out. I had completely forgotten about this show & would have missed it but Z~ sent me a timely reminder a week or two before the event. You're right about the abundance of things automotive we've got to shoot out here although a lot of it is pure junk like Donut Derelicts on Saturday mornings, etc., but it can be kinda fun anyway. I think there's a goodly amount of activity in certain other places too like FL for example...at least when it's not under assault by Hurricane Andrew or something. -- Paddy's Pig |

Oh, yeah. I could see that kinda blurry in one of your original pix. Could
be that the sign shop just went by some entry data " engine size = 2.9, engine type = 8C" or something like that. Sign folks know sign-making, not necessarily Alfa terms. Generally speaking, up till the mid-50s at least, Alfa went by engine type as in 8C 2900 B in the instant case: "8" = eight cylinders "C" = Compressor; and size: "2900" = 2,9Litres; also you'll see 6 2500, etc. The 'B' is an evo designation, I think limited to 38-39 models. All things considered, it's amazing so many pre-WWII Alfas and Masers still exist. You and Zincy Pinky - charter members of the Gang of Four iirc - are great participants. You have the skills, cameras, and best domestic opportunities for pix out there on the Left Coast - and all year round.

Concours not so much in FL except Amelia, maybe. But for vintage race cars
FL is right there with SoCal what with the Collier, Garlits, and Daytona museums; Sebring and Daytona HSR, etc. Millard Newman in Tampa is (was?) probably the top RR collector in the country, and TV Tommy Ivo and Art 'The Dart' Malone live(d?) there, too. With PB, the Monterey Historics, the Petersen, etc you guys have it all - except the hurricanes, tornadoes, fire ants, snakes, gators, sharks, jellyfish, fires, blue-hairs, salt air, sand, and so on. There's also nothing in FL like the various events that Andre chronicles either. While FL has had more than its share of off-beat Euro cars in the 50s-60s due to all the USAF servicemen rotating in and out and settling around MacDill and McCoy, they're mostly long-gone as scrap to Japan. I had a Renault Dauphine and my dad had a Simca Mille, fi, and the gas station owner I worked for had a 250 TdF and then a Bocar Stiletto. Most all of those cars were USED and used often, not preserved. That's why I like Andre's work, too, for the 'real car' aspects. I can't get out and all you guys are my eyes.
