new Jalpa owner
hi ...i have found this board to be an invaluable resource and have been lurking for over 2 years...in november 07 I purchased GLA12276, a white on white 86 jalpa...for the past few months i have been enjoying the car, compiling "fix-it" lists and creating reasons to drive somewhere with the targa top stored...there is nothing quite like the sound of an italian car!!!! Again thanks for such a wonderful resource!

It's the white Ebay Jalpa from AutoQuest.
Congrats, I suppose you had a lot to clean inside...

lambotsavy..we are located at the bluff house resort in beautiful green turtle..i am currently trying to sort out an ignition issue(yes, i read the many posts on permatune!) but struggling with a lack of knowledgeable mechanics in my area..i may throw in the towel after this next guy and take you up on your tampa offer..i am in melbourne directly across the state from you!...Earlycat, they are cars that appeal visually to me so to most they won't make any sense....2002 viper gts coupe red with silver stripes,last year of the "curvy" coupe..this is my muscle beast...2004 mini cooper which will be going to my daughter soon in a few months when she graduates...fun little car that handles better than i ever expected...57 chevy resto rod...all modernized from suspension to electronics to creature comfort..very reliable and inexpensive to own..i can get this one serviced anywhere and strangely,it gets more looks and thumbs ups than the lambo OR the viper..this is my "practical" car...luggage,christmas trees,bikes..it is so huge it swallows everything!! kind of like a very cool SUV...i think i will have to pause on the next two as i have a son in college already and a daughter following this fall...amazing how much money that absorbs...2009 i would like to add a 2005/2006 maserati gransport coupe followed by a Ferrari 308...i owned a gt4 before but really preferred the lines of the gtb...thanks for asking
