Back to the Blog. 2021 edition.

Well, it's been a while and I'm back here to continue the report on the projects in my mind.

The Alfa keeps on rolling. The pandemic has reduced its outings but I keep dreaming up new stuff to do to it and also stuff to do with it!

The rear axle needs a rebuild and I have all the parts to do it. Probably going to get to it in February. I'll post an update on it soon.

I'm also getting ready to build a new engine for it. A 150hp TwinSpark should liven up its performance. I feel the chassis can take more than the current engine can muster...

Looking forward the end of the lockdown so I can go for a longer drive...

Other than cars, I've been playing around with an Arduino. Need to find fun stuff to do with it. Any ideas are welcome!

My car

This is my car, my main partner of most of the adventures I  had in classic car rallies, track days, road trips and everyday daily driving from time to time.

It's an 1969 Alfa GT Junior. It's not original, I've found it back in 2004 in a shed in a sorry state with a broken engine and minus a lot of parts. I've replaced the engine and gave it a coat of paint and got it back on the road.

Since then we've gone together to lots of places and made a lots of miles. In between lot's of repairs have been made and new parts have been fitted.

It's getting better every mile it gathers!

First Post

Welcome to my blog.

My name is João and I'm a Portuguese guy working in Norway.
I've been a car addict for almost 20 years now, gathered some cars and developed a passion for the stories and adventures of people around the motor car from all ages.

We all live our lives the best we can and experience it as it present us with challenges and adventures.

This blog is about my life adventures with my cars. Hope you enjoy!
