A few pictures of my Sedicivalvole

Greetings, everyone!
My name's Peter Bidel Schwambach, I live in Brazil, and I'd like to share a few photos of my 95 Tipo Sedicivalvole with you guys in order to introduce myself and also to get familiarized with the posting features.
Anyways, this car has been in the family in one form or another since it was brand new; my father bought it in 1995, and, being 5 at the time, I grew up in this car and have a lot of fond memories of it... I learned to drive in it, of course, and also did my first (and so far only) engine rebuild after an engine bearing failed, back in 2007. It took me about a year to get everyhting figured out and put the car back on the road again, but after that episode, my dad gave me the car and I've been daily driving it ever since. Now, 6 years and almost 80 thousand km later, I'm still impressed at how well this car is running, with no odd noises, no hiccups, and no other issues of any kind.
Aside from that engine build, the car is absolutely bone stock and everything, even the electricals, is in perfect working order, which is pretty great considering this car has been in active duty since it rolled out of the showroom floor, but I'm starting to worry that it won't take much longer for something important to give in, which is why I registered here at the forum, so I can learn as much about the car as possible and, hopefully, share some of that knowledge in the future in order to keep my Tipo on the road for as long as I can. I mean, after all this time, this car is more like a brother to me than a car and I just can't imagine letting it go.
