Farewell little Isetta!

Well all the hard work put into the 1957 Isetta project really paid off. The Isetta was delivered to it's owner this past week, and everyone is very pleased with the results to say the least. With a striking orange and white color scheme, this car really shows how a car can go from a rusty old shell to a beautifully restored vehicle.

Of course we are always a little sad to see the cars leave the shop as they become such a part of daily life during the course of their restoration. But we are doubly happy to see cars like the Isetta get delivered to their owners - another classic car saved!

Now this Isetta is off to it's final destination, with the interior and engine work to be tackled at a later date...

Alfaholics Track Day

Recently we had the pleasure of being invited by the crew at Alfaholics to attend their yearly track day event held at the Castle Combe Circuit. That meant a grand journey to Bristol, England which of course it didn't take much arm twisting to do! The day was sunny and cool and despite some early morning rain prior to everyone arriving they couldn't have wished for more perfect racing weather. Daron had the opportunity to go out on the track with several drivers during the day and what a great time he had.

{ Driver Briefing }
After a driver briefing first thing, everyone eagerly headed out to the track and tested the limits of their Alfas.


{ Meeting new friends }
The turnout for the event was impressive and we had the opportunity to meet lots of new people. Not hard to do when everyone there is an Alfa fan!
{ Track Time! }

Everyone was at the track for one reason - to get out on the track and drive... FAST!
