Re: GTA Roadwatch (was it you?)
Almost forgot - flashed/waved a grey/silver GTA SW going into Hanley (Stoke) yesterday (Sat) afternoon. Didn't get the Alfa wave back, so likely to be no-one from on here!?

I was in blue GTA saloon.

[Edit] just a thought, might have been same one that Swanny saw on M6?

Spotted a fellow 156 GTA in Rosso Red last night heading West bound on the M25, between junctions 22 and 23 (I think) at about 5.15.

I was going the other way. Eyes like a hawk me!

Just waved at an Alfa Red 147 GTA near the Red Kite pub in Wakefield, not sure if he saw me as the sun was reflecting off his screen.

Parked a few cars up from Simon's miro red GTA at Thruxton yesterday. Does that count? BTW, he has a supercharged 3.2 - might be a tempting future mod....

Cheers,

Nigel

Spotted a red 147GTA on the A30 in Sunningdale at about 7PM this evening.

I was travelling in the other direction in a red GTA sportwagon - I flashed and nodded but not sure it was noticed.

Any takers?

Red 147 GTA, driven by a blonde lady heading towards Cutthorpe area of Chesterfield Friday lunchtime. Was behind my blue 156 GTA for a short distance - couldn't really do the wave in my rear view!

Re: GTA Roadwatch (was it you?)
Never seen a GTA on my travels, then saw two in a week - one red 156 saloon southbound on M1 in Yorkshire a week last Thursday, - then passed a grey/silver GTA saloon same colour as mine which was parked in a layby on the A30 in Cornwall last Tuesday in a torrential downpour! Had the foot down so by the time I'd spotted it was too late to beep...

Re: GTA Roadwatch (was it you?)
Down at Sidlow Alfa today in Hookwood and there was a Black 147 GTA in the service bay, registration was something like WX55, anyones car on here?

Oh and Sidlow were very good today, very impressed with their service especially on this occassion. Must say the parts department have always been very good in my experience.

Oooh, I was queueing up to pump my tyres up on Saturday 5th July at a petrol station in Newton-Le-Willows. I had to double-take when I saw a black 04 plate 147 GTA filling up just across from me! Got a knowing wink from the driver Car looked really nice.

Re: GTA Roadwatch (was it you?)
Saw a metallic blue GTA sportwagon in Catford a few weeks ago (anyone?), then i saw 2 156 GTA's over the weekend, one near me in West Kingsdown (Red) and one on Junction 5 of the M25, (Silver)

The red one, looked a little 'tired'...needed a bit of TLC, if you ask me, sorry if it's anyone here though..

Also, i was behind a brand new 159 Ti, going up the A20, which on that stretch is a 60mph zone and he was doing 30mph.. , what's that about??.....so i gave him a taste of V6.......

Always outnumbered, never outgunned
