OK, I'm watching. I'm mostly watching because your Alpine is close to mine (geographically) and I'm curious. While yours is a pretty car, I have 2 Alpines and a Minx convert and no real desire for a divorce.

Good Luck

Well a divorce is not a bad thing at all......thanks to a divorce I shed 97 pounds of untrusting abusive woman....hey it is a hell of a lot better than the atkins diet :rolleyes:

Did it sell? Can you give us details?

Thanks

You want details but you did not have the decency to say if you were watching :eek:.....personally I dont see the big deal of stating if you were watching the auction.....all 258 of you :p

A deal is being worked out right now and when it is complete I will start a thread with the details.......and to be honest the buyer got a good deal for such a fine car....and as I have said before it was for sale as I just dont drive the car anymore.....my miata is far more fun and way more reliable...though it does not turn heads the way the alpine does....but who cares about turning head when you can take 90 degree corners at 60 KM's and barely feel the ass of the car slip an inch :cool:

If it was set up right, you could have taken that 90 degree corner in your (former) Alpine and REALLY turned heads!

No alpine with stock suspension would match corners with my miata,it is dropped 3 inches and sports low profile 245/45/16's....it has koni's on all 4 corners with a shock tower brace front and back and a roll bar in the mis section.......I sold the alpine as I love driving and am a professional driver that clocks 60,000 + miles a year and the alpine just did not hold any joy for me.If I could have transplanted the alpine shell onto the miata frame and kept the suspension as well as the engine/gearbox i would have done it in a heartbeat because the lines of the alpine and the raked front end look incredible.....but it just did not have the performance that I wanted.

You have been better off keeping the Alpine, selling the Miata and using the money from that to buy a Formula 2000 car to race on the grid at Race City. After experiencing the thrills of open-wheel racing, driving a Miata to get groceries doesn't give you the same rush. Then you'd at least have the Alpine to turn heads, as you put it.

The local miata club rents track time at race city,not for much longer though as the city of calgary is not going to renew the tracks lease....so race city is soon going the way of the dodo :eek:
