Hello All,
A quick intro is asked for.
I don't have an Alfa at the moment, but I am constantly reminding myself about the one I had previously and know I will have one again. Somehow I will persuade the other half to let me back in the club.
The one I had before was a H plate 33 16v Cloverleaf, in red obviously.
Fondest memory of it was driving it through the tunnels at Newport early in the morning. The car loved singing it's head of through the tunnels bouncing off the limiter.
Rather than pic's of wife and child at work , I've got one of the old girl.
Eventually let her go as the wife could not handle her. She was traded in to the fiat dealer in Cardiff. I did see an advert for her a couple of years later in Auto Italia and I almost went to get her back, especially as the wife was off the scene by now. Alas I didn't and regret it dearly.
I will get another 33 one day. In the meantime a 159 jtd looks favourite for the next company car.
Cheers
