...and those addicted to mechanical film M's should buy,
restore, and drive mechanically fuel injected Alfa Romeo's.

Here's my daily driver since 1994...bought it in "91"...
rust bucket with 168,000 mi...took me three years to fully
restore it to showroom condition...now has 306,000...
regular trips to NYC from Ft Lauderdale with nary a prob!!

Bad PS shot by my "significant other" with her Minolta 
whatever!
