Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Hi Phaderunner ,you should at new ALFA's , us modern Alfa owners rarely get the wave, yet whether its a modern Alfa or an old Alfa at the end of the day were all nuts for owning one and should show our madness by waving at any age Alfa.
ermmmmmm , does a 98 ,156 class as a new or old Alfa.... new i suppose.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Don't know how many Alfa owners are also current or previous bike owners, but bikers always acknowledge each other with either a nod or a headlight flash. I think Alfa owners share a lot of the same passion and the Alfa nod is a similar expression of comradeship, after all who had 'nipping to the shops' at the front of their minds when they decided to buy their pride and joy?

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Driving South on the A6 on saturday after having watched Bedford give Rotherham a sound thumping 56-17, we spotted a black 159SW heading in the opposite direction, waved and got a full hands up from the driver

The Alfa wave is not dead

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

not exactly the alfa wave but came out of a client's house this morning and he remarked on how nice he thought my car was, he even called his wife to the door to say 'look at that, d'you like it?'. she said 'oh yeah that's really nice, bet it was expensive though'... 10 year old design for mainstream money still attracting such attention? could only be an alfa

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

A dude trying (near stationary London traffic) to go in the opposite direction in a nice 159 was eyeing up my GTA this evening...we gave each other the thumbs up ...not sure if that constitutes the Alfa wave though!

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Went past a new spider and a 156 parked next to each other in a lay-by on the A4074 on Monday, beeped the horn and the bl**dy thing didn't work. Fixed it now though.
