    As was the case with Project Binky this isnt Motorcycle related but this is an Aussie guy who obviously has too much time and money :) He is taking a very rusty old Alfa and resto-modding it to have a Ferrari engine... Plenty of interesting stuff. So far there are 132 episodes.. with more to come.

    That looks like an interesting build. I'm not sure I will make it through all 132 episodes. Maybe I'll just jump to the last episode to see how it ends.

    If anyone else is interested in Alfas that have had heart transplants, then the following link will be of interest. Actually, this is more like a heart, lung, kidney, liver and genitals transplant, but I digress. Many years ago, this crowd in Queensland had this great/weird idea to put a Holden V8 into an Alfa body. As previously stated, that description of what happened is mild to say the least. At the recent Targa Tasmania, I saw one of these vehicles (there was more than one made) doing its thing and I was surprised at the mint condition it was in (they were built in the 1980's) and how quickly it was going. A Top Gear write up follows. I didn't know Alan Jones had lapped Lakeside Raceway (in record time) in one of these. Insert heavy sigh lamenting the decline in Australian manufacturing.
