I’m on vacation this week, and it’s a tradition for us to head up to the Berkshire Mountains in western Massachusetts for a nice drive, see some good foliage and eat a lot. On our trip up, I always drive by a striking old red brick garage that has Alfa Romeo’s of all vintages and states of repair. I stopped this year and took a couple shots. I wasn’t sure if this was something you would want to post to TG, but I thought I’d share a garage that I find interesting. The garage in question is Alfas Unlimited, in Norfolk, CT. Back in high school and college I had an ‘86 Alfa Romeo Graduate Spyder, red with black top and interior. Fun little car, it broke my heart when its head cracked. It was my sophomore year in college, and we got hit with a serious blizzard. The car was snowed in for a week. I finally went to start her up, and within minutes the entire college parking lot was filled with smoke. Poor thing couldn’t handle that kind of cold. Since then I’ve always longed for a GTV-6. Some day.

Many years ago, I came across a sad looking Bugeye that was in a similar state to that poor old spyder in Upstate New York on a trip to The Glen. I wasn’t in a position to grab it at the time. I’d be seriously thinking about bringing that puppy home as a project now!
About 15 years ago, I had a chance to by a GTV 6 for $1000! Yes, $1000! … Heck, the BBS alloys + tires on it were worth that!
But with a new house, a young child and a baby, there was no way.
Later on, the new owner redecorated the side of it in early gravel ditch … not pretty any any more.
How much could you get for the house and the baby….. Never mind. My bad.
Actually, I see where you’re going with this …
The problem was that the GTV didn’t have a finished basement.
Somewhere along the line I recall someone saying: “I can sleep in my race car, but you can’t race your house”.
