Ease Into the Weekend With Classic Alfa Restoration and Jazz Guitar
Ease Into the Weekend With Classic Alfa Restoration and Jazz Guitar-July 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.

The car you see here is not a radio controlled toy, it is a real-deal proper off-roader built by slamming a $50 vintage Chevrolet Camaro body on top of a Hummer H1 chassis. With huge turbocharged and nitrous-injected GM LS V8 power, massive tires, and four wheel steering, this...

It’s July. It’s hot and humid. The last beer was left half-drank and warm on the table in the yard. What you need is some real refreshment. The kind that can only come from an Oahu beachside breeze through the open vents at the base of the bonnet on...

MOMA's Volvo Was a Safer, Boxier 'Taxi of Tomorrow'
How do you replace a New York institution like the legendary Checker Cab? You get the help of another New York institution (and a Swedish carmaker), of course. Volvo decided it was time to re-invent the taxicab back in the day, and the effort was so good, it was...
