Hi guys I'm new to the forum don't ask about my username major typo!
Warning ! this is going to be a long intro thread into my Alfa Ownership experience.

I'm am a self confessed car addict , I constantly have ants in my pants thus always buying cars!

I have bought and sold so many cars and bikes in the past 13 years I have lost count .

till date I have owned 4 Alfa s

The passion and Friendly community of all aflaowners ,Alfaholics, Alfisi etc... always completes my ownership experience.
Big thanks to all the Alfa owners that I have met and spoken to for all the advice and help thus far!
1st class gents the lot!

In January 2015 I purchased a 2004 Alfa 147 gta well maintained and stunning car!

the year before by chance I saw a 147 Gta parked at a local dealership the car was marked at an incredible price . After many sleepless nights I made a trip to the dealer and it was still for sale this was a sign it was destiny .when I asked about the history the owner of the dealership tells me a young chap traded this gta in as his dad has a collection of serious Italian machinery and this gta was gift to this son but he was not into Alfas so he dropped it off to this dealership for a Golf 6 gti.

Car had full service history with 140000km q2 diff spare key etc
This would be my first "modern day" Alfa , the drive was so refined it felt like it an expensive saloon car worth 4 times what I paid, But there was some magic to it that the sum of parts could not quantify . I call it Alfa Magic /passion.
I called my best friend who is also an Alfa Nutter to reassure me that everything is ok! when he saw the car he smiled and gave me a thumbs up.
this affair was short lived and a few months later I advertised the Gta (no idea what I was doing), a week later it was sold to the first person to view the car. The buyer was a true alfisti who owned 5 cars all Alfas including a 1984 3.0 gtv6 race car that was raced by the Arnold chatz team!
I knew the car was going to a good home and that was the End..............of the 147 GTA experience.
