10 years of 156 GTA

#1 (**Post Link**) 25-03-12

Having read this thread in the GTA section:

http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-...uk-2012-a.html (156 GTA Ten Year Celebrations (UK) 2012)

I got me thinking, how many GTAs would be at an Irish 10 year celebration? [ 32 counties ] 20 max?

Would it be worth while trying to organise something?

I'd say you'd be better off joining Nigel and the lads Pat.

I sent a PM asking if anything is planned for N.I.

I wonder how many GTAs are still in the wild? and how many are now indoors preserved...

Good question!
I'm not a fan of taking cars off the road completely.
Can cause a lot of grief when you try to re-commission them.

Question:

Sir,
do you know of any events to celebrate the 156 GTA thats running in Rep of Irleand or N.I. ?

Thanks, Pat.

ANS:
Not to my knowledge Pat. We've only done some informal stuff over here. The Monza trip is probably a bit of a stretch for you guys I guess."

Hardly surprising really though is it, AFAIK there's only 5 or 6, maybe 7 GTA owners on AO Ireland.
How many GTAs have ever been to an AO meet , 3 max I'd say.

Well guys the nearest one to you which I am organising is probably " spring Alfa day" at Cotswold wildlife park.
If you boys want to jump on a boat and stay at Nigels (as he will be at spa)

Washed the my friends SW [ which is for sale ] & my GTA today, then took a picture of them both. I honestly can't make up mind which one looks better

Cathal_H · #19 (**Post Link**) 31-03-12

Geez I don't know Pat.. that's a tough one, it's a bit like preferring blondes or brunettes..

. You know, if they are good looking, well then they are good looking!

#20 (**Post Link**) 31-03-12

if I opened their 'tops' would that help you make up your mind?

Mufasa · #21 (**Post Link**) 31-03-12

Urban legend (although it could well be true) was that housewives in the UK looking to 'play away' would leave a box of it up in a window signifying Old Man Out (OMO) - ie the coast is clear....
That type of behaviour would never happen in Ireland though... would it???
