>They have it at a local coffee shop... Really nice day today, so a lot of cars out..
 
Will they be back next Saturday for the cruise? Forcast should be definitely colder in this area.

Alfa Romeo Milano
 
Still running? Impossible.
 
Those were cool, though.
 
Don't those have aircraft style brakes?

There's a Milano in a driveway on my way to work. Can't say if it runs, though...
 
What are 'aircraft style brakes'?

A guy I used to work with owned one, and shared some battle stories.
 
He's still in this building so I'll have to ask him for more details about that. Must be the type of mechanism used.
 
I should also find out what he's driving nowadays, I'm sure something eccentric.

Saw a red W113 "pagoda" SL zooming down 405 in the fast lane today.

Beats me. Only thing I know about aircraft brakes is that most all are disk brakes, but that's nothing unusual on a car, even by the late 60s.

Saw a Merkur Scorpio this afternoon, not many of those still on the road. Also a nice light tan W123 sedan.

2 more Saab 9000's today, a dark green and a beige/tan one.
Also, a mid 70's F150 with a rattle can turquoise/white paint job.

I think the guy driving it is an owner or mechanic at the local Alfa repair shop.... (obviously, the only one in town..)
