I'll admit that it was a poorly managed project! However it did have its potential.... I could have made hundreds simply by breaking it

Re: How many Alfas have you owned?

1982'Y' Sprint 1.5 Veloce in silver - bought in '94, recently sold for restoration

1989'F' 33 1.7 Veloce in black - bought in '96, brilliant car, went to the scrappy in 1999

1996'P' 155 2.0i 16V Sportpack in Alfa Red with anthracite wheels and wooden Momo steering wheel, again a great drive which doubled superbly as a family car

<gap - I didn't fancy a modern Alfa, so bought an Impreza..... daily driver is now a Renaultsport Clio 172.... >

1986'C' Sprint 1.5 Green Cloverleaf in silver bought as my second occasional car in 2006

I have the fondest memories of my escapades in the 33 1.7, but I'd hankered after a cloverleaf Sprint for 20 years, and still love the sight of it every time I open the garage door. And that's before I turn the key....

There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't.

Re: How many Alfas have you owned?

I am on number 7 now (see sig pic). Loved them all. Cam belt failure on my first 166 the only major issue, and Alfa paid half the £3K bill.

159 1.9JTDm

Re: How many Alfas have you owned?

'53 plate 147 1.6 TS Lusso 3 door, 16'' Sport alloys in Alfa Red - no problems (soft paint though) Needed more power but I enjoyed it

'03 plate 156 1.8 TS Turismo, 17'' Supersport alloys, alfa Red and tan leather - no problems at all - I loved it

'06 plate 159 2.4 JTDm SW, 19'' ti alloys, titanio Grigio, black leather. Great engine, poor economy, surging on boost, failed inlet manifold. Nothing else wrong with it. Who says pre '07 159's have all the problems Loved it

'07 plate 159 1.9 JTDm, Silver 17'' Diamond spoke alloys (at the moment ) and black leather. Only had it 3 weeks but only 7 days max - the rest of the time it's been at the dealers:

Clutch pedal creak - lubricated 3 times now - still there
Windscreen creak turned into windscreen with faulty seal - it has been replaced
Wind roar from left rear of car - hopefully just an imbalanced wheel and sorted out now
CD player gets stuck after abuot 5 -7 tracks - ARUK approved a replacement now fitted.
Loose number plate light
Loose rear reflector
Crooked badges on the rear.

.............and I thought '07 cars QC was improved

I still enjoy the car, just need more time with it now

Isn't science fun?!?! Eye think so!

Re: How many Alfas have you owned?

Just this one.
And I could give it up if I had to.
It's just a bit of fun and It's not like I'm hurting anybody else.

Re: How many Alfas have you owned?

Ops! pressed enter by mistake after 155, a 159 2.2JTS in Aurora Blu which I'm generally very happy with. A Giallo Zoe 145 1.4ts Junior for my wife which throws out 103bhp and does 35mpg not bad for a 1.4 engine
