You can also try the following: Find a nice solid piece of metal (a soft metal is preferred) about the diameter of a 1/2" socket extension (actually that is what I used last time). Place this on the center of the steering rack (where you removed the nut holding the wheel on) and give it a few s...

I have been looking for an excuse to get together with Kevin, Barry, Dawie and the rest of Clan Alfa-Africa here for a good pissup....

Thanks everyone. Yes, I did have a good time even if I was tired as hell by the time I got home. But, I had a good time in Florida and can now at least trust the car (having bought it sight unseen with the suggestion to trailer it back to Ohio). :shock:

I am guessing it involves a lot of stealth and half truths? :wink:

Some comments from Tony:

Here are a few comments from Tony about the TRIP: CANNONCRAWL - Yes, 60mph indeed. On I-95. Through Florida. Loooong Florida. All 400 miles of it. Straight, boring I-95. Straight, boring I-95 with the flow of traffic doing 80. Given Neil's concerns about the suspension and driveline, I'd have done t...

The trip home:

The long awaited (and maybe dreaded return): I get the call from Tony that he is leaving South Miami. I am packed, ready to go and take a final pic or two with my old KMA friend Bjoern (BTW, he has a bunch of pictures of Alfa's racing at Kyalami in the old days (old track). I will post some soon) be...

The tale continues:

Friday: I see the car for the first time. It has a bit more rust than I expected but it is not of great concern. The car starts easy enough but dies as soon as it warms up. I notice the intake is loose after the air/fuel module. There is a second intake hose in the trunk which is in better shape and...

Miami to Columbus, OH

On May 19 I am leaving for Miami from Columbus to pick up my GTV6. Originally I planned to trailer the car back. Since life is short and you have to sometimes make your own adventures, I decided I will drive the car back to Columbus. I will have a friend following me in his '85 944. I am in need of ...

There may be enough of us to get a small group together... if you like start a "Hocking Alfa Tour" thread and see what interest there is, both here and on the Alfa BB. I know a few others that would be interested too even though they are not Alfa owners. Actually they just had one about 3...
