It's old enough that it does NOT have a catalytic convertor for someone
to steal isn't it?

Thank you, Larry.
Hmm. My Lancia is a 1967 model ... I seem to recall the Alfa Romeo type 105
chassis replaced the Giulia Sprint and its siblings, starting around 1965 or
1966, but I'd have to look them up to be certain. Doesn't matter really ... the
Giulia Sprint and Guiletta Spider are lovely cars and a delight to drive.
My Fulvia's muffler lost a dime sized hole out of the end of the main muffler
last week, and the muffler is cracking all the way around now. But that small
additional opening netted a rather pretty exhaust sound. So I've ordered an
Abarth system to replace the stock exhaust and give the car a little more aural
character ... the stock Fulvia Coupé exhaust is rather quiet, but that little
V4 makes such a pretty sound it deserves a more sporting system to highlight
it. :)
onwards!

Minox 35... I still have my Minox 35GT-E, which I purchased new in 1998. It is
a lovely camera and has made many great photos for me. I've currently got it
loaded with some Tri-X and may take it on my two-week excursion to the Right
Coast tomorrow.
Regards terminology, cameras like this, the Rollei 35, the Voigtländer Perkeo II, etc, are
"scale focus" cameras ... they have no rangefinder or TTL viewing system, you focus by
setting a distance on the focusing scale. A true "zone focusing camera" is even simpler
than this: the focusing scale has no distance markings, just symbols to indicate far, intermediate
distances, and close up.
<and so forth>
We may not always agree on everything, but I do admire and respect your
cyclopedic (Polyphemian?) knowledge on so many topics.
I did think of you yesterday when I passed a light blue Giullia(?) sprint of
similar vintage to yours. As I was driivng unfortunately as I was driving,
getting a photo wasn't feasible.
