Re: [alfa] Red GTV on CA 1 South of Half Moon Bay on Sunday

[Benjamin Kaupp <bkaupp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Way to rub it in my face... I'm sitting here in beautiful Santa Cruz 
watching the beautiful weather through my store window. If I angle just 
right I can catch a glimpse of my baby spider sleeping in the parking 
lot next door. Oh well, I did manage to get 900 miles on her in the 
last four days, all but the rainy ones with the top down. Life is good, 
Spring is GREAT with a fine running alfa. Now if only I could get her 
above 3600 RPM.

On another note, we locals should get a run up (or down) Highway 1 
going... Maybe start at Golden Gate Park and end with chowder on the 
Santa Cruz wharf. Just a thought... Maybe after my 1500 miles are up, 
so I can keep up with y'all.
