Default Sitting here watching Australian touring car racing and ..............
two things come to mind:

1; I am dreaming of a career change.

2; Watching Dale Earnhardt's (Did I spell his name correct? See how much I really care about NASCAR!?) pit crew in their No. 8 Budweiser uniforms unbolt the 'Speedvision' logo from a wall and install a 'Speed Channel' logo back in the same place does not bode well for the continued prospects of a NASCAR free zone of racing enthusiasm anymore in North America. I knew that the "writing was on the wall" when Fox (Rupert Murdoch) purchased Speedvision, but I am growing more afraid each passing month that Speedvision will be completely morphed into the NASCAR Channel within two years :-(

I could have sworn it was related to the steam that was wafting from under the bonnet. Nice try ;-)

That was steam from the driver's helmet being vented via under the hood;-)

Enzo would not have approved of this "racing" tactic. The Italians seemingly must refocus.

Default We had Milt Minter (guest instructor) tell us about the time Enzo stiffed him for blowing up motors.
Enzo most certainly would not approve. Alas, Fiat may sell Alfa to GM to raise cash:-(
