Alfa GT, always wanted one especially after the latest 156 decided to call it a day!

Are you a real passionate for Alfa Romeo?
Oh yes!

What or how started your passion for Alfa Romeo and…
….do you think it’s fundamental to own one to have the passion?
Always yearned for Italian class and can't afford a Masser.Think you do have to own one or at least have owned one in the past... no passion without grief

Would you ever consider joining an Alfa Club or are you already a member of one?AO's enough for me

What do you like most about Alfas?
Exclusivity,style and passion. I like trying not to laugh when I get overtaken by chav's in their not so "hot hatches"

What do you like least about Alfas?
Having to park miles away from the shops to avoid people in their 4x4's parking two inches from my doors.

What would be your dream cars?
8c/Masserati QP

What car would you least like to drive?
Any BMW

For you, what’s the most popular thread on AO?
What would be your ideal drive in an Alfa (destination, passenger, driving music, etc)? Like the Detailing section and General Alfa bit.

Any humorous Alfa or car-related stories you wish to share with us?
Once had to pick up the Captain of the submarine I was on in his Service car.On the way there I nicked a Fir tree (it was xmas time) and stuck it in the boot. Remembered about it two weeks later when going on xmas leave but decided against asking him for it back!

What interests do you have outside of Alfas?
Football,Hillwalking

Tell us something nobody knows about you. (E.g. special skill, ever been on TV, etc) Managed to hit the bottom of the ocean in two different submarines.

Do you have a party trick? If so what is it?
Usually get asked to leave after about an hour!

What do you like most about the Alfaowner forum? Any favourite threads, episodes or people?
Sorted out quite a few tech issues without needing to get lied to by an Alfa dealer

If you had £50,000 you had to spend in 72 hours, how would you choose to spend it?
Drugs, drink, horses and women and probably just waste the rest!
