Hunnert Car Pile-up, Pin-ups and Wine
I’m off this weekend to Morris, IL, for the Hunnert Car Pile-up, to do a book signing. Look for me with the Wizz on Saturday. I’ll bring my cameras just in case something catches my eye.

I’ve posted a “Be a David Perry Pin-up” page on my web site, for those gals interested in commissioning a Hot Rod Pin-up for yourself or as a gift.

AutoMoto Wines in Napa, California feature my Hot Rod book cover ‘40 Coupe at Takeoff as the label for 4 choice wines- a Cab, Merlot, Riesling and Chardonnay.
They make a 3 liter. Dig!

I’m working on getting a $1500.00 1983 alfa romeo spider veloce back on the road. This’ll satisfy my need for an open air - go cart like driving experience. Something to run to the taco truck in, or blast down lake Herman Road at sunrise, full throttle. The future will be economical with the 4 banger, too.
I’ve painted the dash black. Forget the tan. Next the floors.
Meanwhile, while my mechanic works on my 1986 GTV-6 (current problem, an electrical fire!), he generously loaned me his ‘74 GTV. I suppose to give me hope that an alfa can be reliable.
The deal with owning an alfa is this: they’re heartbreaking, finicky and sometimes haunted with insolvable electrical mysteries, but when they run, it’s a thing of beauty. And a very stylie accessory.
And, for you hot rod snobs, alfas have an aluminum block, hemi heads, DOHC and a racing legacy.

I decided if i’m gonna do a blog, I need to have fresh photos to go with it- so, I bought a FujiFilm FINEPIXZ20fd, for under $200. It’s a slim line type, so I should carry it everywhere. it also shoots 2 minutes of video, so I can capture a newsworthy disaster and sell it to Fox.
