Alfa Romeo Giulia Cylinder Head... Looking for the valve cover...

Bought this at the French & Italian car show at Woodley Park a couple of months ago.  This is after cleaning it up.  Now I need to buy a valve cover.  The valve cover is very beautiful & some people polish it (I don't like it polished...).  As with most of the junk I buy, don't know what I'll do with it.  Probably hang it on the wall in the garage once I find a valve cover...

Below is a picture of what the valve cover looks like and a picture of what a Giulia looks like...














Porsche - A History of Excellence by Randy Leffingwell

There are so many books on Porsche out there.  This one is pretty general but there seems to be some good content that I have not seen before.  Haven't read this yet...

Mine's a lighter blue than this one, but basically the same (has the vinyl on the B-Pillar and the aluminum trim...).  Someday I'll drive it again...

917 production line.  Can't recall but Porsche had to produce something like 25 cars to be homologated for racing at LeMans...

this is my favorite Porsche (550 Spyder with the 4 cam motor...).  There's more replicas of this car in existence than originals.  Wouldn't mind having a replica...

Manhattan Beach Pier -- November 28, 2015 (Saturday) -- went pretty fast today...





It's been pretty clear at the beach lately.  Can see Catalina (looks almost like an extension of Palos Verdes...).
