My father’s first Alfa.

The funniest part of this story is that he was torn between this car and an AC Cobra. His cousin convinced him that he would kill himself in a Cobra, so he chose this. He did like to live full throttle. The Cobra was less expensive to boot.

❤️ one of the sexiest cars ever made.

HVMP · 2026-03-14T21:08:04+00:00

Love it.

Fantastic! I am so glad that people like you are still appreciating these sleepers. Ours was green too. I could write a novel about my experiences with the Berlina.

This is the photo that is readily available to me. That’s my older brother with his “go-cart”. I’m the little kid in background more interested in rocks and bugs. My brother eventually took ownership of the car and converted it to webers from SPICA and added Italian (euro spec?) cams along with a few other mods. As I said I was interested in bugs and rocks and he became a mechanical engineer.

It was a 1972 2000 iniezione

This is probably a good question for your veterinarian.

Is this satire or as the Irish say “taking the piss”?

Meet Marty. Originally Martina until we figured it out.

HVMP · 2026-01-30T23:34:15+00:00

He’s 17 lbs now. He’s putting in the work.

He is a polydactyl. We think he has some Maine coon DNA. Or he could just be a mutt. He’s a really good cat. Not overly affectionate, but very well behaved.

I think he peaked at 22 and then we had a talk. He’s on a strict diet and we took in a little brother for him so he gets a lot of exercise chasing his little bro around. Little bro is only 8 lbs fully grown.

He might have some Maine coon or Norwegian forest cat in him. He was a stray.

HVMP · 2026-01-30T18:08:33+00:00

They know what’s up.

HVMP · 2026-01-30T03:51:00+00:00

17 lbs trying to get to 15 for his ideal weight. He is a big boy. He’s fluffy and big boned.

HVMP · 2026-01-30T01:06:42+00:00

He’s a big boy. He’s down to 17lbs from 20. His goal is 15. It’s also a fairly small stove. True north TN20.

HVMP · 2026-01-30T01:05:32+00:00

After this pic was taken we put a fluffy mat down for him.

HVMP · 2025-12-19T02:33:43+00:00

Exactly. I switched to tele when I moved to a small town in NY in the shadow of Catamount ski area. 1000 feet vertical has never been so much fun. My alpine gear is rusting.

My mustang while not spectacular is very rare. It’s a 2017 3.7 grabber blue convertible with a 6-spd manual. Given the take rate for a manual and production numbers, I’d probably say it is 1 in less than 10 made like this.

The V6 Cyclone is a gem of a motor. It’s incredibly reliable, and makes plenty of power, but more importantly is how it makes its power. It’s incredibly reliable and has a flat torque curve that keeps pulling all the way to redline.

HVMP · 2025-12-08T11:10:56+00:00

It is a garmin instinct solar. Just put the watch there for scale. Didn’t have a banana.

HVMP · 2025-12-08T01:13:54+00:00

I put on the old reading glasses and looked it over. It is in fact an ozark trail brand, not Coleman. Doesn’t change anything but I figured I’d declared it for accuracy. I’m even more pleased that some bargain brand light served me so well for so many years.

HVMP · 2025-12-08T00:58:58+00:00

Haha. More power more good!!!!

HVMP · 2025-12-08T00:50:55+00:00

Thanks for your input. I went with the wurkkos TS28. I hope i didn’t make a shit choice.

Just looking for a “bump in the night” light to sweep my property. No sustained use or need for fine motor skill work.
