Reverse spotting!

While at the local Ace Hardware outlet. A fella in a dual-wheel service truck stops behind the Alfa, gets out and wants to know all about it, claiming to have a Spider at home and in-process of restoring it.

Funny. That's happened twice now in six months, same lot, different guys. This area is a backwater kinda neighborhood, never expect folks to know what the Alfa even <span style="font-style: italic">is</span>, let alone want to discuss 'em. Prevalent attitude is: "Ya orta stuff a Chebby V-8 in that-thar thang!"

Please! Reverse spotting should be kept as a private matter between you and your physician! -- elrey
