Arrow Alfa Romeo paradise with a splash of Mazda RX-7 and Porsche 911

From Hagerty's Barn Find Hunter series (featuring Atlanta's 4-time SCCA champion, Paul Spruell).

RX-7 content has been thin on the ground lately – mostly Alfa Romeo stuff in this video, which I hope most people won't mind (a little odd that they didn't send an Alfa guy to do the interview).

The FD content starts at about 13:00, with a pretty good story:

Saw that video yesterday, that same guy did one on Jim Downing's shop in Atlanta which is well worth a watch. Jim Downing is an old-school figure in the rotary community.

That is a clean FD, I did have to roll my eyes on the "then the bigger second turbo kicks in" - sure wish that myth would go away.

Of course it's missing the damn battery box .

They should take the cars out for another video. That 911 Targa could easily be the subject of a YouTube makeover.

Yep, I immediately shut off the video after hearing about the "second larger turbo".
