    Oh, I thought you could just go ahead and substitute Jaguar 4 litre transfer gears? Right? Guys?

    Trust me there are no more Miura spare parts left at the bottom of that ravine. I have personally made sure of that :)

    :D

    I'm glad you didn't add yours! ;)
    But no, salvage was not my intention... can you confirm though, whether it is indeed that road?

    Robinson also sold the same article to Classic & Sportscar for their December 1996 issue. Interesting stuff but who really cares?

    Seems so, I checked up on imdb and Valle d'Aosta is one of the shooting locations. The only one listed that could have roads like that. Thanks!

    Menoy obviously does..... and you must have done at some point if, as you say, you have personally made sure of it!

    Good gosh Joe! The underside of your car is so clean...even the shock springs show no paint chips. What makes it even more amazing is that you drive it. Looks better than new!

    Yes I DO drive it... in fact I drove it the 32 miles from my house to Claudio's for this service! LOL.

    The fact that I drive my cars doesnt mean they need to become trashed or tired. Im careful, avoid certain roads and dont tailgate gravel trucks particularly closely :-0
    Ive never understood the mentality that some espouse which suggests that because a classic is used its being destroyed. In fact 4884 gets BETTER with use as I continue to tune & fettle it. Youll be surprised what I find I can improve on it 1 year and 4 months after its epic resto was completed...

    With encouragement from my family, Ive decided to share it a bit more with the public again so next year you will see it at a few shows. Lets see how long before I get tired of waiting all day on a grassy field :) I will do it for just one season.
