first day at the new job.

Went well as far as I can tell. I am comfortable there. Give me a day or two to get my sea legs and I think I can excel.

The view out front.

Series one E-type, Alfa Vintage racer under cover, A series two jag?, Fiat 600 and an Abarth Alemano.

Whats inside?

Why a Fulvia Zagato of course.

Like those Zagatos? Here is two more!

Two 750 Abarth double bubbles! The blue one is probably my favorite car ever. Red interior on that one.

But what did I have to work on?

This ugly turd of a 32 Rolls Royce. I honestly don't see the appeal in this type of car. They seem to take the "driving the car" aspect out of motoring and replace it with a lot of road isolation and fiddly tweaking. I am however kind of drawn to, yet repelled by the silly amount over complication involved. This thing must have miles of linkage under the hood to operate the timing advance, governor and carb fiddly bits. It also has a central lube system for every suspension pivot that I am sure will fail or leak when I have to get it working properly.

Day one under the belt. I like it here.

Looks like an awesome job!

Hope you enjoy it.

Looks great!

Maybe one of those jobs where you don't mind going to most days. At the very least you have some eye-candy to look at.

Isn't that the same type Rolls that Odd-job drove in Goldfinger?

I love the Abarths. And keep the pics coming.

I think you have an awesome job. Best of luck with it.

Awesome, man, congrats. I bet they were impressed with your own Fiat project.

If you're not kidding, please PM your address so that I can come over and give you an "attitude adjustment."

The appeal of that kind of car is "I have more money than you, so let me show it off with overly engineered systems and massive size." Have you seen a modern Rolls Royce, Maybach or Bently? Nothing has changed in the past 100 years for the über-rich.

I'll work on the '32 Rolls and you can stop by my job and drag 90 lb. hoses all around the cellar and get covered in hop/yeast sludge. How about that?

god damn I love zagatos!
