Rico,
Maybe you could post a better picture. My suggestion, maybe have the family stand in front of the car cover?

Hi folks,

Many thanks for your interest.

The car is a NAF 289 built in 1989 in good condition and can be even fitted with new and better parts.
I bought the car in Wisconsin, the fibreglass work is made by Mr. Bruce, PA, and the rest will be executed here with me.

The fotos with the cover are sexy and leave room for imagination

This weekend I made a technical cheque and fitted some new parts before I started the first little country side trip. I learned a lot during my little tour, especially driving really careful and responsible. But this little trip has been a very special and nice experience. There are more things to do to bring the car into an up to date technical condition.

Nice car Rico, maybe you can find a place to stick one of those black bulls. I once drove thru Valencia on a drive from Madrid to Barcelona. Wish we had time to stop off. Any suggestions on some great coastal places near you? We may return soon. Looking into Malaga also.

Did you make the F1 race?

Hi Ralphy,

Thanks for your praise.
Regarding Formula 1: I have been there 3 years ago to watch qualifying sessions. Bad organisation and rip-off.
This year friends have been there for qualifying and race, and it is even worse.
It is easier and more convenient to watch it on TV.
If you should come to Spain it would make sense to drive along the Medit. Coast and have several stops, as there are many beautiful places and everywhere on the way to Malaga you will find good hotels.
My partner and me love Granada due to the cultures and the possibility to skiing in the morning and go to the beach in the afternoon - highly interesting place with the lovely Alhambra (Google it!).
Kindest regards,

Rico

Hey Rico:
I have driven from Madrid to Cadiz (Rota, SP) while with the NAVY, I can assure you (and you might know this already) the AUTOPISTAS are a delight to open up this baby. Enjoy while having some cherry in Jerez!!!!
Cheers Bro
