Default I did something today I've never done before!

I pulled a car just because I wanted a look at it! In reality, the driver got a bit paranoid at my, ahem, "attention" and stopped without prompting. I was so glad because the car was this;



Alfa Romeo competizione 8c. I have NEVER been so bowled over by a car. It is just sooooooo beautiful I would trade a testicle or two for one.

The guy was ace, I explained I was only oggling, but he was only too happy to show off his new pride and joy. I didn't sit in, bike kit and fancy interiors don't match, but let me tell you, I couldn't have sat down if I wanted to! Slight trouser trouble sir!

After I had finished... he gave it the nuts onto the motorway with me on the bike behind. Oooooohhhh, jeez. I nearly fell off I was laughing so much!









A happy Bike Cop!

The last time I lusted after an Alfa was the SZ.

That doesn't look like your usual beat Pete, did you turn left instead of right

Nice colour, nice car

That is, indeed, top drawer car porn. What did it sound like following? I was quite sad the other day - I followed an MGB GT (the proper V8 one) for about 4 miles further than I needed to because it sounded gorgeous!

I think he was a bit reticent about giving it the full beans, after all, with that engine, it doesnt take long to get into trouble speeds!

However, he gave it a good show, a few rolls on and off the power. Let's just say, I enjoyed it.
