[K18 NOB]

Until Nige edits his "member car" section of his profile and adds the new Gtv

Im suprised its not been done yet but perhaps he is falling behind

[Mark Alfa]

Yeah, come on Nige, get your act together

[K18 NOB]

bazza is spot on. I tried doing this last week and found out that if I update " My Cars " I also have to update my Location and if I do this I will lose my " Bespoke " current location and be forced into just " Lincolnshire. "

Thought about this and although I would really like to put the GTV6 on there on balance I prefer my current location details. 'Tis a pity but there it is, either one or the other but not both.

Sorry guys, will just have to have loads of Threads about the '6.

I did wonder how you got that

Morning Aaron. I think that the bespoke location detail changed when AO moved to the new server, if you have it you keep it, if you change anything you lose it. Not to worry.

So, what are you up to today ?? I had half a chance of collecting the GTV today but events have conspired against us so it is postponed, maybe tomorrow but Saturday ( I hope ) at the latest, something to look forward to.

Perhaps it's as well it isn't happening today, I really hope I can pick up the Road Angel this afternoon.........

Is it a GTV6 or a GTV V6??? Pictures Nige!!!!

Morning Darren.

It's an 82 Alfetta GTV6 2.5, some pics on the Link below. More will appear once I get it home, very soon now I hope ! It's MoT'ed, I have the Insurance Cert and new tax disc in my hand, just have to go and collect.

Nothing like the taste of four star in a morning ! Presume you'll be off 75 bashing soon then.

I didn't want to lose the Location details, I too think that the old way was better, this new idea seems to encourage some guys to put in weird locations, occasionally I have believed them too. Must be getting daft in my dotage !

Well, maybe tomorrow, Saturday at the latest, even if I have to walk there, I'm a bit impatient too !! The aim is to have it at the BLS Meet, in fact if there are no unforeseen snags I'll be running around in it the rest of this year.

Oh I love those to bits Nige, great looking cars those, what sort of power does the 2.5 kick out, some 150BHP?

Nope back to work in a hour or so.......annoyed by vodafone for overcharging me again on my phone bill as thats swallowed money which i was going to use on the 75 but oh well

Will be good to have a look around the gtv6 as ive never had a chance to do this before

As im coming back again Nige if there is anything you need from here let me know

[Nige005]

About 168 apparently, according to the specs.

Always liked these too Darren but could never afford them when they were still " current. " Aaron, ( K18 NOB ) posted the eBay link on here and as it's only about 60 miles up the road went for a look.

The rest, as they say, is history ! Some people, not on AO, have questioned my sanity but I don't care, at least not until the Bills start rolling in !

That's a shame having to work...... As for the 'phone bill. well, I have never had a problem with Vodaphone but I'm on PAYG so wouldn't expect any.

Thanks for your kind offer, I'll let you know, but, money may be more important right now !

Crikey, that's quite good then, RWD as well aren't they Nige...?

Aahh, everyone thought I was crazy when I bought my Jag XJS, didn't stop me enjoying it though,

[K18 NOB]

Well i may not have room for myself in the car yet as im bringing the 75's interior back and ive got over 80litres of fuel jerry cans in the boot aswell its going to be a tight fit

Yep, RWD with the gearbox mounted on the rear transaxle, I'm quite looking forward to it although the slick racing gear changes are not really an option on this set up !

You buy what you want and enjoy it Darren, that's my view anyway. Then there is the rarity value of these as well, only 1035 ever imported, I wonder how many have survived the years ???

Not to mention a firebomb !

Thought that the ferry companies weren't too keen on this idea ?

Ahh, just thought on. They will be camouflaged Jerry Cans !

Well no your right there, the ferry companies dont like it but when i go through the ferry port and get pulled in for a search all i do is show them my military id card and they let me straight through

sounds cool, tan leather

do you need to take the whole seats with you though couldn't you just strip them down and take the covers? or do they need the frames and everything to get the fit right
