New alfa owner in Beirut, Lebanon

Hello everbody,
I recently bought a 1999 cosmos blue alfa romeo 156 2.0 TS.

This car offers a stylish look and a unique driving experience surpassing that of all popular German cars at half the purchase price.

Welcome to AO. Last time I was in Beirut I saw a nice Black 147 with Saudi plates. The car didn't have any dents on it though. Mahraba !

Re: New alfa owner in Beirut, Lebanon

Thank you all

Actually there are many alfas around, and a couple of really pro garages for repairs. (The dealer is a waste of time, no spare parts, extremely pricey/replace everything policy).

I've started going through the forums... Very interesting, one could even repair his own car if the proper tools are available

Excellent Forums...

Cheers and rev on !

Re: New alfa owner in Beirut, Lebanon

yes indeed

The dealer here is also the main dealer of BMW and Renault, so...

Either way, I actually missed fun driving with a high revving engine + manual gearbox

My second car, which I've had since 6 years, is a 1971 Plymouth 440 Cuda !
