Biba!
    For shame!  "The Spider ashtray as a piece of non functional sculpture 
sitting on the driveshaft hump."  Nonsense!  What better place to keep all those 
odds and ends fittings
and dohikeys that either fall off on their own or you can't figure where they 
go after you've just reassembled some interior trim (but they must belong, 
because they are too odd looking for you to have picked them up randomly from 
the garage floor).
    Clearly the Alfa engineers who designed the Spider knew what they were 
doing!  ;-)  Besides, where do you keep the change for crossing the San Pedro 
Bridge?

Subject: [alfa] Electronic ashtray

Ben Kaupp ends a post with what I consider to be the most important 
usable information on the Digest in many a week: "... I just installed 
my iPod UNDER the ash tray in the spider, so that when you slide open 
the tray you see the screen. Very trick, I think."

*******

I've always considered the Spider ashtray as a piece of non functional 
sculpture sitting on the driveshaft hump. Unfortunately I found about 15 
burnt matches under the ashtray when I removed it from the Ohio 
Round-Tail. Possibly I won't be able to talk client into this 
modification, but having long been a big believer in functional art, 
this certainly appeals to me (not to mention faking out those pesky 
judges since they're not allowed to touch).

Ben, could you send me a jpeg of your "modification"? One question, how 
do you upload / download music when you get tired of the old?

If I'm able to borrow your idea and show it on my website, I'll give you 
credit for the idea / concept.
