Another slightly weird back end.... but it probably fit two people in the back seat and was fairly aero... but funky.

I would cum all over that.....twice.

One day, one of the projects I want to build is a custom Harley bagger. Tall as f* skinny tire in front. Fat short tire in the back. I really despise the duck tail saddle bags that are popular with that style bike today. On the other hand, if the back end of the rear fender and bags had this profile, I could really get behind it.

There is just something awkward about it.

^^^ It's bent.


Cheerful Alfa cartoon....

Higher tail has benefits. Look at the decklid on your M3.

Yes, but in the case of the Milano, there is just something about the shape of the back end that doesn't do it any favors. There is just something awkward about it.

Exacto - it was all about aero separation......and the fashion of the day.

The Milano rear end does look bent. Part of that Italian envelope-stretching design that you see on some of the weird ones.

Because the E30 is a better car. Fewer stupid electrical issues, and honestly better looking. The back end on a Milano is so bloody high.

I was an Alfa guy before I bought the BMW. So I'm still not sure why I didn't give the Milano a good look before getting the E 30. They seem like great cars, a direct and worthy competitor for the BMW.

Here's a nice Colorado Milano 3.0 Verde FS. Has driven it for 25 years, appears to be in great shape. These are fun cars, and sound really good.

ebay scam -
A guy over on the AlfaBB from MI posted an eBay scam on a 1960 Giulietta Spider for $29,000. It was his dad's car, which they sold. It left the US after the sale. The description and photos are all from his dad's original ad.

It's been taken down once and then reposted under another address....

"...now relisted as seller 'elaine2555'
