Thanks for the translations and photos!!

Wow!! Great to see a car like this. I'm wishing I could speak/read Portugese! 8)

I have polyurethane all around (everywhere possible), Konis and 205-60x13 tires (oops, tyres ) It's quite happy at 75 all day on the motorway. The engine is allowed to breathe with the twin carbs and a cold air filter system, Aldon dizzy and strong street cam. I love it! 8)
