The Sightings Thread

Time to start a Sightings Thread for the Republic of Ireland Members & other Alfas

I'll start, I saw Damiem C today in Bandon & Techie in Cork a few weeks ago.

Howya man I was just going to put up a thread like this haha. I only noticed ya after I went past. Lovely looking car you have man.

Saw two GTs today in Cork, a Monza in Mahon Point & Milano ? in Wilton

Saw Danicole's 156 today in Ballincollig, looking good

Small world

I see trillions of dirty 156's daily (well 2 or 3 anyway) and they are not worth a mention. I see insidious's looooooooovely car in midleton the odd time. Other than that i mostly drive at night and in morning.

Same here, loads of 156s & a few 147s most days I'm in the city. GTs are rare enough on the roads as are 159s.

I do check out the drivers of these cars tho' more so than any other make, i find more often than not they are not alfa nuts... cos if they are an alfa nut they are checking you out also

Yah I find the same, very rare to get a wave / salute from other Alfa drivers, also most 156s seem driven by the ladies

Ahhh you remember wed morn eng plates navy 156SW
Swerve it is so, would have rathered crossing paths in the GTV but the wee one barely fits in.

The Gards will be thinking all the Alfa drivers will be drunk with all their swerving haha

Just make sure to avoid contact during this greeting cermony

I'd hate to end up swapping details with one of ye

Well, we are both on the kidde school run so we'll blend in nicely to all the yummi mummies in the SUV swerving all over the gaf.

saw a 00 D *** 146 today, was wondering if it belonged to you Damien. There was a female driving it though... Twas coming into Carrigaline.

saw lovely silver 156 at about 07:30 this morning taking douglas turnoff after tunnell. Driver kept it well! think it was 99/00

I take that turn every morning (weekdays) but dont think i had any sideways motion going there this morning ... unlike this afternoon going round the sweep in exactly opposite direction coming onto the N25.

would have been 7:20 when i would have been there, car is silver too!!

Lol, I know that one. She was in Dougla carpark on Sunday and I left her out she nearly fell over herself waving at me saying thanks. Seems like a nice lady. Buddy made the same mistake with that car too coming into carrigaline on his bike, went passed it thinking it was my car on the limiter of the bike with flames coming out of it. Looked into the car and saw a women driving it haha. Poor women must have scared herself to death.

My car has a set of Graphit OZ Ultraleggera's on it so that sets it apart from the others

I know the ones, in fact I was looking at a set today! How light are they? Any marks on em? ment to be "soft" enough.

No marks as they where bought brand new They seem strong enough, I hit a nasty pothole on the road to Kinsale there last week with a full car and the wheels took it fine. It has a set of 55 profile tyres so that helps. Only bad thing is with them being slightly wrong offset with the wobble bolts that came with em, it rubs over undulating roads with a full car other than that they are fine.

They are a super light wheel, you can carry two with wheels not a bother. I guess they are about 4kg's each with tyres, they felt very light anyway.
