Wheels don't match so it probably never came from Alfa Romeo that way. Plus they'd never pass on a chance to splash on more 'Alfa Red' paint!

Not really sure why..

Because HE CAN! Talk about tire wear, looks like that hack tire will need replacing every three or four turns.

So the sidecar was pushed up against the Alpha and the photo taken.

I know, I know, I spoiled a good fantasy.

You're probably right but IF I HAD THAT ALPHA, no one would get near it with anything that might scratch it.

Hmmm...don't think so. The rollbars match on the Alfa and its sidecar. Looks to me like a case of eccentricity and excess cashflow meeting head-on in the same train wreck of too much time on his hands.
