And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
When I was a young man I wanted for an Alfa. I settled for a Fiat 124 Spider. It was 3 years old with 20k miles on it in 79. I put 130k miles on it over the next 6 years.
My Dad had a '59 Austin Healey Sprite, white with the bug eyes. It was a fun little car, he would let me work the gear shift lever. Thing wouldn't run in the winter though.
Oh, Alfa! It's always been you!!!

ReplyDeleteLooks like it was custom built with a lightweight low windshield and a racing fuel filler on the center line.

ReplyDeleteFound it. Two prototypes were built in 1954 and Alfa Romeo still owns one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTjSf_Ee-YY
