giuliettas dot com turns 100!

147 days ago I started this Giuliettas.com blog.  Why?  I guess there was no real central location for auction news (with selling price and pictures), historical musings and small personal mechanical struggles with Giuliettas.  No one-stop-shop if you will.  Now that I have been at it a while I have to ask myself: What have I done?  I’ve created a small, usually quiet readership who send me a nudge whenever a few days goes by and I haven’t put up a new post.  I appreciate the comments, no matter how brief or off topic and market alert emails (Paul and Ian come first to mind) they keep me going when I wonder what the point is and help a lot when I don’t have the time to search on my own for cars.  I thought this blog would just be a lunchtime meditiation to help me avoid all of the horrible Silicon Valley California fast food lunch invites and fill gaps between work projects.  It has done these and much more, I’ve even made some friends along the way.

Blog stats are fun but evil, like checking your ebay auction for bids or watchers.  It’s like ‘are we there yet?’ without the there to be headed towards.  Writing this blog has changed my thought processes about my hobby and changed my view of these cars, dispelling fictions as I search for fact.  I sometimes feel like a humanitarian aid worker for these cars because I can’t seem to bring myself to dismiss one, no matter how rusted or crashed as beyond help.  Oh well, at least my editor doesn’t give me a hard time about it.  Some statistics on my milestone:

100 blog posts in 147 days. 

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 40,000 words! 

50 market reports including 13 Sprint Speciales. 

One email from a guy who bought a car  that he found because of my blog. 

One guest entry from THE Jeff Glenn.

694 blocked spam comments. 

439 visits on my busiest day. 

23,905 visits since I started.

The Bertone plug that your eyebrow Sprint was probably made off of.

Thanks for reading and I hope I can continue to keep you entertained.  Look for a report on and picture set from the Berlina tour in the next few days.  I’m going to try and maintain a 3 post per week average going forward, so come back often.  Anyone want to do a guest blog entry let me know!
