Alfa 8C Invisibility&Me Issues

Well I parked my 8C up outside my flat last night, and beeped the alarm as usual to activate the Invisibility&Me system, hiding it from the world along with any would-be thieves. When I went out to drive the car this morning though the remote appears to have stopped working - my beautiful 8C is now nowhere to be seen

And please don't just tell me it's user error because it is there. Honest!

Nice to see so many 8C owners, I thought this section might remain unused.

They are definitely a real bugger to see when in Invisability mode.....my neighbour barked his shins on mine the other night and the poor fellow is still wondering what happened

Re: Alfa 8C Invisibility&Me Issues

At the risk of being deemed impertinant I'm starting the build of a 6C (Albeit in Sprint guise) - if I can get two more "C"s can I then get invisibility and join the big Alfa boys and their toys??

of course you can - there is enough "C"s to go round! Good luck with the build by the way looking forward to seeing the finished article.

My neighbours thought their cat could hover until i took them out of their amazement and told them it was sat on my 8C

Dear Alfie
Don't worry about the slow build of your 8C - it's only a little storm in your C Cup!

Now before I order my 8C I wondered if you could tell me if I can get an Ebay performance resistor for it, as I feel the std one is 25bhp under powered?

Sorry to tell you the Performance Resistor is a rip off! you need a genuine "Flux Capacitor" but it may invalidate your 8 year Alfa Warr ahhahhanttee
