How many Alfas in your street?

I took the dogs a walk yesterday and within the first 20 mins 4 Alfas had passed me on the road not to mention the 5 I pass parked in there drive (including mine) And yes they were all different cars before you ask.
Is this an abnormally high amount or am I just a Alfa radar now.

Re: How many Alfas in your street?

One! Mine! That does seem high - do you have a dealership in your town? I went to Aylesbury last week and they have an Alfa dealership - in the space of 10 minutes I saw at least eight Alfas!!

Re: How many Alfas in your street?

Not one. Where I live anything other than a BMW or a Mercedes is considered a risk. They've only (only!) started to let Audis on their driveways. Quite sad really, but that's what happens when you live in a village.

They'd be a riot if a 147GTA accidentally trundled through. Probably burn the driver at the stake.

There is a 156 round the corner that's perpetually up for sale though.

Re: How many Alfas in your street?

In my private car park for the flat, just mine.

In the street outside there is a tatty looking 33 with foreign plates. I can't remember where though. Possible Belgium or Lithuania. Poor thing looks so neglected. It's had the alfa badge ripped off the front. I'll go get a pic of it at some point.

Re: How many Alfas in your street?

None! Well - soon my 159 arrives as the first one

Not so strange however, there's "only" 500 km to the nearest Alfa-shop from where I live

Re: How many Alfas in your street?

From about 30-odd houses, I was well chuffed to be the only one ... then a lad down the end of the street got a red 156 with a spoiler. Git!

Only mine and one other 156 (also a V6).
Surrounding streets have a smattering too.

Re: How many Alfas in your street?

Interesting isn't it, that Alfisti are so aware of the Alfas around them. I wonder if Beemer drivers think in the same way!
