Au contrare. It is in great shape. I even gave it a full Mercasol-antirust treatment before putting it in storaga. Right now, I'm tempted to have it professionally detailed. It does need a good polish.
Did you start it occasionally when it was in storage; in the shed?

If you un hooked the battery I bet you're fine.  I full expect my car to start no problem after putting the battery back in.

So you store the Vette for the winter?

Remind me - where do you live, and what's your other vehicle?

Fully loaded grandpa spec truck.  Even has a factory sunroof.  Also gets 23mpg on the highway.  I'll be sad to sell it when I decide to move south

Damn, Exploder only gets like 18-20 on the highway. Maybe 23 if you only consider the stretch from the top of the Eisenhower tunnel down to Golden.

Yup. Three decades of Alfa.

That 164 is the ultra rare V6 Q4 version.

How did you get from Germany to Norway?  Did you go up through Denmark, take the bridge to Sweden and then drive over?  Or did you take a ferry directly to Norway from the mainland?

I took the short ferry trip from Puttgarten to Rødby, then drove through Denmark and Sweden. Great trip.

If ever a Scandinavian/European gtg materializes, I'll happily offer long drives with the Alfa.
