Kevin I will be there to shout support for your efforts in the Trofeo race mate. :D

I am very keen to see an 8C in the flesh.I am hoping my brother will have his new 2 litre GTV ready for the drive through on Sunday.Was on the phone with him this morning,tells me NEVER follow and Alfa manuals advice regarding wiring... :lol:

Kevin your race car is looking seriously good my friend,it reminds me so much of Glenwoods Group 1 racer that old Abel drove to such good effect.

A looong hot day at Kyalami today...
Some good Trofeo Racing and some excellent cars there.
Tha 8C is stunning ! Cabrio or not,I could live with this car,no probs.

Typical of a limited run Alfa Romeo,the finishing off leaves a lot to be desired.They should not have had mirrors under the car.

Some nice cars turned out for the "record " attempt..Took part in the on track parade that formed the record attemt for most Alfa`s at one cathering or something like that.

Some real wallies in the parade as well,two blokes warming the tires on 147 silly speeds with nowhere tp go..Some guy in a 156 GTA rev limiting the engine when ever he could...were doing 10 km/h here ..was waiting for the engine to expire.

So,South Africa now hold the world record for most Alfa`s together on the same stretch of road and covering at least 3 Km.

We had 244 Alfa at Kyalami today and all were on the track at the same time AND all covered the 3 Km..
Just saw the helicopter footage on national news and I must say it looked quite impressive ! :D
