1981 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce - Runs And Drives Beautifully. Lots Of Photos! on 2040-cars
White Haven, Pennsylvania, United States
You're looking at my 1981 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce. This car was purchased in 2007 with 40,633 (confirmed by title) miles on the odometer and now has 47,254 miles on the clock. The car has been, as my wife calls it "my mistress." Over the years I have spent a great deal of time and money maintaining and improving her. The car starts easily the first try and settles into a beautiful idle. She idles well, runs well, and sounds spectacular. Paint is in excellent condition - The car was repainted not long before and whoever painted it did a great job. Very clean with a lot of clear coat & depth. The only thing that is not exactly as it should be is the switch on in the middle of the dash. The switch operates the in-tank fuel pump. I was having some problems with it, so rather than trace the wires and tear everything apart I decided the most reasonable solution at the time was to mount a switch to activate the pump. It's a nice big switch and it makes start up and shut down feel like a bit more of an occasion. The tach, speedo, and all gauges work properly. The car handles well and is quick and comfortable. I've driven the car extensively over the years that I've had it, but the time has come to pass he on to another enthusiast who will take care of her. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car anywhere. After all the maintenance I've done over the years, the car is quite reliable. TERMS:

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
