Hi Mark...

Might have seen your car, I've noticed a Silver V6 GTV around town, seen it twice on Yarborough Road as I walk to work... The only reason I noticed it is because 1. obviously, its a Alfa and 2. its the same as mine, visually, mines a 2.0TS though.

James.

Hi you may have as i do travel up to the shell garage to get Shell Optima. My number plate is G6 TVS. It would be good to catch up at some point and see each others cars.

Mark

Yeah mate sounds good... Ill look out for your motor again. My plate is L15 GTV just to let you know...

We gotta get you guys a Rep sorted

Perhaps we could have a meet up around Lincoln at some point as most of you live around Lincoln and maybe at Rutland Water as well. Just a couple of ideas

Yeah sounds good... I keep forgetting to check for updates, gotta get my email sorted!

What happened to the 164 you used to have ? Saw it when I first got back and was tempted to give you a knock to talk about it but was too shy !

Nige.

Hi Nige, is your GTV green?

Morning Mark, how are you ?

Yes, it's a nice darkish green, admittedly not one of the preferred colours but it actually does look pretty good. When I bought it off eBay I hadn't seen it in the flesh and was prepared to be disappointed but when I saw it driven into the station forecourt at Ipswich railway station by the previous owner I was pretty much sold on it. I did actually want a red one but this car, after months of searching, fitted the bill in every respect except the colour. I like it though and everyone else says they do, they reckon it's British Racing Green, on an Alfa ! Far from me to disillusion them !

Here's a pic taken in your neck of the woods yesterday.

Cheers

Hi Nige. I'm fine thanks, hows yourself?

I see a green GTV yesterday outside where I work (the Peugeot garage in Boston) wanting to go over the level crossing with a 156 behind about 1:00pm yesterday and thought it might be you
Happy to hear its going ok for you

Hi Mark, glad to hear that all is well. Didn't know you worked so close by, I'm just down the road in Wyberton, if you ever fancy a coffee.......

Could have been me yesterday, I was heading for Boardsides about that time en route to Coningsby, Tattershall and Methringham. Have to say I couldn't say what was behind me, unusual for me as I'm pretty much switched on most of the time, my excuse is that my passenger had just started a discussion about the name of the Chain Bridge having just been stuck by the name plate for a minute or so !

Cheers for now.

Alfa diog machine??

any one know of someone in Lincoln with a alfa-diog? Got misfire problem and could be one of many things! All the joys of owning an Alfa.

I have arrive din Lincolnshire
But why doesn't anyone wave at me here?

Got here with my 159 SW nearly a week ago now. Only wave I have got was from a grey or black 146 in Tesco's carpark in Sleaford. Anyone want to own up?

Hope you've in settled and enjoying the delights of Lincolnshire ! If it's any consolation no one waves at me either, had so many strange looks I no longer bother !

Thanks Mark,

Got it sorted now. Was the rear bank of spark plugs which according to my service history where changed by alfa..... NOT!

Hi Viking welcome to friendly Lincs!

Hi guys and thanks for the welcome!

I'm in a red (is there any other colour? ) LHD 159 SW - I'll expect lots of waving and excitment if you see me. It'll get swapped for a hire car in a week or so, then my ti will eventually arrive. Now, then I will expect some waves

Settling in well - wifey is unpacking and I'm at work

I'm up in Lincs on the 26th.... Anyone fancy a meet?

I'll be alfaless for a period by then

FWIW I'll be in Nth Lincs so a Lincoln meet would be ideal.

Where abouts you stopping mate
