i'm jealous of DILYSI Dave's nice floor. I can barely roll an unladen floor jack on my crappy 1979 concrete.

OK, what does "tangenziale" mean? (obviously an exotic road sign!)

it's the "beltway" of sorts that runs around the city of Naples. Known for it's uneven surfaces, ultra-high speeds (even though the speed limit is 100kp/h, most people double that), no shoulder, and massive accidents.
I lived in naples for a couple years in my high school days. One of the favorite pasttimes for American high school kids was to steal road signs, since (like most of europe) there are HUGE poles with like 20 signs that size on them, and alot of them are on incomplete roads (which will never be completed). That sign was put on a side road pointing to where a Tange entrance was supposed to go. They built half the ramp and then never finished (in an 8 year span!) since someone probably didn't pay a bribe or something....
So we figured that the signs really weren't needed ;) I must have had like 20 signs like that, but could only stash 1 away with our moving goods (my father was a US military officer) without him finding out.
I wish I still had the "Autostrade" (italian version of the autobahn) and "Roma" (Rome) and "Napoli" (Naples) arrows....
(btw, this was like 15 years ago, I am reformed now!)...

after we took those signs, we came back the next day and they were waiting for us to prevent more theft

I have both - I can tell you where the most action takes place
. I do use the formal living/dining space to store "new parts" ever since the 944 halfshaft grease got on the carpet...

^ ^ sounds like my old townhouse....car parts everywhere, a big floor jack in the breakfast room in the front of the house since it was too heavy to take to the basement where it was supposed to go
