Good point Tom.  I also just was thinking of you for a car I just took 
on trade today.  1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce convertible.  Red/Black 
leather with red stitching/black top, 51K miles, 5-spd.  Very original 
and very nice shape with no rust.  Top and rear plastic window look 
new.  Interested?  E-mail me privately.
