Keith’s Blog: The Chattanooga Motorcar Festival is Magic
This was my third time attending the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival. All car events are excuses for like-minded people to come together.

Keith’s Blog: Preparing the Alfas for Hibernation
I did some car swapping last Friday. Enlisting good friend Timothy Ashcroft, we took the 1971 Alfa Romeo Junior Zagato to Bill Gillham’s Hooligan Racing in Albany, OR, and brought our serviced 1965 Giuila Spider Veloce home. It’s about an hour drive each way. Timothy also owns a 1967 Jaguar E-type convertible and a 2015…
