The new driving position is way better than before!

Last weekend, i took a trip with some friends on the famous alpine road of Transfagarasan.

Good news is that I've borrowed a wind deflector for this trip and it's absolutely fabulous as it makes the car drivable with top down at almost any speed without feeling anything inside, a must have for the Spider!

Bad news is that one of my crankshafts started making horrible noise,.

Here's some photos (I also included some photos of the red 916 which is a mk3 3.2 V6 ;) )

Thanks guys! Hope you also liked the road as we will organize an international meeting there in late August.

In fact, we went there to shoot a promo video, so stay tuned for more details ;)

Crankshaft is now sorted, so is the temperature (or at least it seems to be). Also changed the thermostat and the temperature sensor and everything seems back to normal, much better than before anyway (if I use the air conditioning the temperature still rises above 90 but otherwise, the fans start spinning and they get it back to 90 fast).

Guys, I'm afraid I have some sad news: starting from last week, my beautiful Spider has a new owner.

It's been 2 great years we spent together, it's been a wonderful car, and I surely will have another Spider 916 someday, Busso powered this time.

I first intended to make the switch to a 939 Spider, but I've been offered a beautiful low mileage / highly packed Brera which I couldn't refuse.

However, I will stick around, as I really love the cars and the people around here!

Nice to hear that you are still in Alfa flock. And of course, point the new owner at Squadra 916! :)

(end post some Brera photos when you get a chance!)
