156 2ltr veloce

Re: Introduce Yourself To AONE

Hi all been a prowler on this site for ages but i have never introduced myself... sorry.
My name is David,
I live in Darlington and approaching 40 from the wrong side.
And i have a passion for Italian cars.
I have owned Alfa,s for getting on 11 years heres a list for those who care.
1988 Silver/gold 33 ti... great carbs.
1995 red 146 boxer..... good noise and better built.
1997 purple 155 ts ..... touring car dreams.
1999 red 146 ts ......... speed and looks.
2001 silver 156 ts ...... the best one yet.
Plus there is my runabouts to keep the miles off the Alfas.
White Fiat uno. diesel.... brake system rusted to bits.
Red Cinquecento 899 ... managed to crash this one.
Red Cinquecento sporting. so far so good.
Well there you go i guess i have the bug.
Done the member of A.R.OC thing and met a good many people at the Ram side, We have been to a few Alfa days and soaked up the eye candy.
So if you see a 156 2ltr Veloce give me a flash or the old Alfa wave.
Cheers,
See you around
Viva Italia.....
David

A'right Dabsafc, I've spotted your 155 a couple of times around Aycliffe but I don't think you were driving it.

Hello David,

Does your 156 have a low-lever rear spolier by any remote chance?

I was there with a few others. I've just looked through me pictures of the day but unfortunately there's none of your car.

156 SW 1.8 Lusso

Re: Introduce Yourself To AONE

Hi all. Two weeks into 156 ownership. Bought a 1.8 Sw from a gentleman in Newton Aycliffe, unseen, off Ebay. Now residing in Blyth.

I loved it when I got it, but after a little open wallet surgery at Lyles it's brilliant.

The Alfa wave seems to be a foreign concept around Newcastle!
