Ease Into the Weekend With Classic Alfa Restoration and Jazz Guitar
Ease Into the Weekend With Classic Alfa Restoration and Jazz Guitar-February 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:12:02

It’s Friday. It’s been A WEEK, let me tell you. What I could use, and I’m sure you could too, is a series of videos featuring a soft-spoken British man fixing 105-series Alfa Romeos in a garage in South Africa.

“But Kyle,” you say. “Where will you find such a specific thing on the internet?” And the answer, friends, is, of course, YouTube, and specifically . His uploads aren’t super frequent, but they’re always good and always relaxing to watch. Plus, classic Alfas are amazing. I should know; and drove it daily for years.

In this particular video, Bronner replaces some carburetor chokes and venturis in the Weber carbs on a delightful 1,750-cc twin-cam motor. Like all jobs on Alfas of this era short of swapping spark plugs, it looks deeply unfun, but what is life on the internet if not enjoying a little automotive schadenfreude?

Watch till the end to see Mr. Bronner flog this little Duetto Spider with much gusto. If you’re not already familiar, these driving scenes will show you just how spectacular the Alfa twin-cam four-cylinder engine truly is.

I Entered My Lifted Miata In A Real Off-Road Race, Here's What Happened
I have two automotive loves: The first is the Miata, the second is off-road racing. For a while I raced air-cooled Volkswagens in the deserts of California and Nevada and I was lucky enough to co-drive in a class 11 stock bug in the Baja 1000 a few years...
