Saw two red Breras this morning, one on the M5 near J23 about 9.30 and another with a private plate on the J25 roundabout at Taunton.

Re: South West Sightings!

Heading back from Bournemouth to Cornwall, spotted a red 156 coming towards me on the A35 a few miles east of Dorchester - followed by flashing blue lights as he was pulled over by the traffic police. Ouch!

Re: South West Sightings!

They probably just wanted to drool over his car!!!!
Saw a brand new black GT park up when I was picking kids up from school on Friday. Made complimentary comments to driver when he got out only to be told it wasn't his - he'd borrowed it off his mate!
Wish I had mates like that!!!

Re: South West Sightings!

Re: South West Sightings!

Not necisarily an alfa sighting but I did spot fellow AO member Ruan driving a P***eot 206 CC with his number plate on so i'm guessing he's left the Alfisti. Say it's not true Ruan.

Re: South West Sightings!

I saw a whole load of Alfas at the Haines Museum last Sunday - oh that was us silly me!!

Seems to be a bit of an Alfa shortage in Hampshire this last week. Nobody to wave to

Puddletown bypass is a hotspot for traffic cars. I was once young and stupid and got pulled for averaging 110 on that stretch. Needless to say I'm a much more sensible driver these days.

Re: South West Sightings!

I always seem to pass a blue 156 every day on the way to work, never wave though because i'm not driving an Alfa Romeo. I don't want anyone to think i'm weird after all.

Re: South West Sightings!

There's an neglected 02 166 in our works car park with the back window smashed in, apparantly it does belong to someone who works there, its just been left to gather dust.

Re: South West Sightings!

I know, the brake discs have rusted over its been there for that long, thought it had been stolen and abandoned until I started to ask people about it.
