Keith’s Blog: A Two-Alfa Day, But Where’s the Volvo?
This afternoon is a big day. I’m driving the 1958 Sprint Veloce Confortevole (SVC) to Jefferson, Oregon, picking up the Giulia Super and driving both cars back, with the help of Michael Pierce.

Keith’s Blog: Ferrari 375-plus, Arizona Concours and the Boneyard Tour

Keith’s Blog: Portland to London to Scottsdale and Home Again
