I had a '72 BMW 02. One time on new years eve I missed a petrol stop and the nwxt one was quite far away. The needle on the petrol gauge went into the red zone, through the red zone and out of the red zone on the empty side. So apparently it didn't need petrol after all and I didn't get in trouble with my then…

Because lemons and cookies. It comes with Alfa's wonderful 2.5 v6. The manual has a transaxle lay-out but you knew that ofcourse. And as JC and his two wise men say: "To be a bona fide petrolhead at some point you have to own, or have owned an Alfa Romeo."

Last year around this time they were on a strike too. I rememeber, because my flight from Spain to the Netherlands (flying over France) got cancelled. This week I have that same flight scheduled again... I guess they can't just fly around France.

A friend of mine has one. For some reasons, if you have driven one, all you see from Auomatch Toms comment is DOOOO ITTTT. The rest of the text become sort of blurry and illegible.

I had one of those too. In third gear it didn't drive to well, but hey it's cool to have a working gearbox. Next time I build it I should try to put the engine in front of the rear axle.

I saw quite a few in Cuba last December. They made a nice contrast with the big yank tanks. I captured a few:

Kitten, help me out!
