Alfa haven't sent cars to the US for many years. Last month I said goodbye to my trusty old 75 3.0 V6 (that's a Milano to Americans), and I now drive a boring old diesel Peugeot. It's MUCH cheaper to run, but I do miss the V6.

My next car was a Plymouth Reliant - given to me by my parents because they got tired of paying the constant repair bills (they knew I could at least fix it myself). It made the MG look reliable by comparison. You bring back a funny recollection... One of my friends influenced his parents into buying a Plymouth Road Runner ... yeah, the one with the big hemi-head V8 and all the funny decals and such ... as his mother's car so that he could drive it. It never broke, but his 17 year old driving in a hot car like that rendered gas mileage in the range of 5 mpg. He used to love slamming the gas pedal to the floor between stoplights to see the vacuum actuated air scoop on the hood open. Even at 1969 prices of $0.40 per gallon for premium, it was driving his father crazy. After a few months of that, I remember going to the MG dealer with them and seeing the entranced look on his father's face when the salesman mentioned that an MGB-GT would get 26 mpg. He bought it for Rusty on the spot, sold the Road Runner and got Rusty's mom a Valiant. The MG never needed service. It got the 25 mpg his father dreamed of. Unfortunately, it spent most of its (short) life in the collision repair shop. I think he balled it up into a twisted mess for the last time less than 9 months after he got it. He survived, but shortly afterwards took a degree in accounting, moved into Manhattan, and has never driven a car since. Somehow, that seems fitting. G

Hi! Just got back from a short meet with Bob W, Boris and co, John Forbes, Billy and Steve Jolly by the Thames at Hammersmith. I didn't take many shots, but will post a few tomorrow. I thought Boris was a mad Russian, but he was actually quite sane ;-) I wonder if there's a connection to the fact that he left Russia? Not to mention that I only was born in Russia. Otherwise, I am quite Druish... Errm, Jewish ;-). Cotty OTOH is also quite sane... No Jupiters were Harmed or Jumping while we met... We really enjoyed our time by the river. Pity it was too short. Cotty, Bob, what was the name of that ale again? Boris

Re: Mini London PDML
On this map: http://tinyurl.com/8vbq6 There is a car park under the two Ms in Hammersmith Flyover, next to the Appolo, which can be accessed on the South side of the Hammersmith one-way system, just after the Fulham Palace Road exit. Alternatively, you may be lucky enough to find somewhere to park in Rutland Grove or the vicinity. The Dove is just off the map to the left. The riverside walk, which was following the river bank, cuts behind the Dove.

Re: Mini London PDML
Here's a better map: http://tinyurl.com/6cmv9 The nearest pub to the bridge, on Lower Mall, is (I think) the Blue Anchor. The Dove is on Upper Mall.

My number is 0795 147 9744.
