    Well same to you! If you're ever in new york I'll give you a ride in the stratos, in exchange for a ride in your plane-there IS one in your hanger, right?

    ;)

    I have to say, I'm not a huge fan of the a310-there's something about the design that's not quite resolved for me-that said, apparently they're pretty bloody fast!

    Crap I don't have a plane in my Hangar. I bought it for toys.
    Ride in Lancia vs driving my CGT? Scud? CS? Spider?

    anything else work?

    I don't have the time to take up flying.

    They pop up in Canada quite a lot. There was a turbo one on ebay not long ago. It just looks ass-heavy.

    almost everything you have works! and depending how big you are, the alpine is good for a laugh, although you basically have to crisco yourself up to get into the car...

    My stepfather is a huge enthusiast of those. Good cars can be found in the 40-55k euro range, great cars around 70k which makes more or less $100k. Mind in 2003, the ones worth 70k now, could be found for 30-35k euro.

    philt68, awesome collection of cars you have there.

    lol! well, she's not much of a gt car, but on the twisty roads, the car is first class-very light, and as long as you keep the revs up, nimble and responsive-and the engine sounds SO good (it IS perched on your shoulder)

    Interesting find. Does it have an engine and transmission?

    The car does have most of the parts. According to the shop owner it belongs to his friend, but he would not give details. They are an all Porsche shop so the shop owner knows very little about the car from a restoration standpoint it seems. It is also apparent the owner is in no rush either from a financial, a parts sourcing, or maybe just interest. The shop gets calls regularly about it.

    My thoughts are that being Burbank, the owner of the car has other projects, most likely a Hollywood-type. This is the case with a beautiful MB SL in my friend's shop. The owner of the car is one of the creators of Glee, so chances are he is a little distracted, or has other things to think about.

    From the looks of it, I'd peg it as an earlier car, either the 1600 or 1800 motor, non-turbo. Dinalpin on the nose, Alpine on the engine cover.

    I would do a lot of inappropriate items for that new/concept they have. Sadly, the chance of that coming to Canada is roughly 0%.
