Does this qualify me as an Alfa lover?

I did my shake down cruise after working on the MG - SU's, timing, generator, etc. for the past couple weeks. Logged 170 miles today and loved it. It ran sweet. Day's like this are why I bust ass in the garage trying my best to enjoy working on the car when it's getting harder to do it every day. I should be all set for our next outing on Friday to Indiana.

I'm not seeing 25 million anywhere on that car, someone got over-charged by a good bit, but it is a one-off for one customer and it doesn't seem like they would complain. It's not the first car with a cooler, probably a bit nicer than what my Dodge Caliber had lmao. If I had to guess the price I'd say $1-2 million tops, 25 million is huge. I don't care much for the design but typical British luxury is what I see and very RR.

For 25 million I could buy every Ferrari on my bucket list and build a garage and a place over it for me to live.

Guy that comes to our cars n coffee has what they call a Modena. It’s a kit, it is actually the one they used to make the Ferris Beuller car. It is not too bad especially for a kit car. I think he paid around 250k for it.
