spending money

Well, after months of looping, I ordered the carbs from Bruce. I can't wait for them to get here. Twin Webber 40IDF's with manifold, air cleaners and gaskets. Also ordered a radiator. Sorry Eddy. The advice I've had says that once a stock Fiat radiator goes bad, don't try to fix it, it'll just keep breaking. So, bought that too. Wasn't as expensive as I thought. So, my order was a little more than the original price of the car. But, whatever, it was so cheap to begin with, that's hardly a good argument. I'd pay far more for one single small part for my RX-8 and not blink an eye.

So here's what I bought:

Here are a few nice cars and owners that are inspiring:

Scott Reed's 1975 Spider
Rick Rosella's Fiat Spider 124
Jerry Aquino - 1972 GTV 2000

Who knows, maybe I'll treat myself to a set of Panasports on my birthday. :)
