Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
I seem to have seen loads of alfas over the past 2 days.
On the way from Wishaw to Uddingston saw a Red Gt a silver Brera who had a wee look then 2 156's and finally a 159.
Drove into the local petrol station this evening and there was a reddy pinky colour phase1 GTV aswell.
Only one that I seemed to get a response from was the Silver Brera, gorgeous car!!

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
Hi Green Cloverleaf & Steve GB,
I'm an ex-Alverstoke boy now in Southsea, commuting daily to Andover. I'll keep an eye open for you.
I found mutual waving to be the rule when I had my 155, mutual ignoring more commonplace with my 156. I collect a red GTV tomorrow - let's see how that goes...
Cheers,
|

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
Followed a nice (V? reg) black 156 sportwagon down the. A217 this morning. Didn't manage to catch you on the mad mile.  Due to traffic you understand.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
Another 164 flashed its lights as I was getting into mine on the morning of the 31.01.08 in Barnehurst. Its the first time another Alfa owner has reacted to my old 164 in a long time, kinda restores a little faith.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
I flashed and waved a dark blue/black GT at Sleaford yesterday and he looked at me gone out?? I think we should get a sunvisor sticker of the website address, and at least they might think to look on the internet. Or maybe they were just too posh to wave?

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
Who was driving the Black GT on the M4 East bound just before J8-9 yesterday at around 4pm?
I was in the black GT behind you for about 2 miles before I took the junction.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
Black GT and a grey 166 in Yiewsley today both got a flash off me but gave nothing back. The 166 was driven by a small Asian lady who looked like she could hardly see over the steering wheel let alone wave at Alfas so I didn't really expect anything... and the GT was being driven in a very spirited fashion and I can only assume its gentleman owner was too busy to notice me, so I can forgive him!

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
I wound my window down at the lights the other day after I had a mini-race with a new GT 3.2 and said 'Nice GT mate!' He seemed to appreciated my comments and said I was bloody quick and that he'd spotted the 20V Turbo emblem on my door surround.
Nice blokes us Italian car drivers,
