Re: Any body else in Cornwall???

I'm in St Ives, Cornwall.
Keep a look out for me .GTV CUP 47 with autodelt rear aprons and a DTM Ragazzon
GB Ongaro in Camborne is TOP SERVICE and TOP PEOPLE. Have used them ever since I had my 1st Alfa when they was in St Just.
Could not stress enough how good Jonathan and Graham are. They even come out to my house on a Sunday evening to fix the roof when it broke on my Spider and could'nt close it.
Is there any Alfa meets in Cornwall?

Nice GT by the way.

Re: Any body else in Cornwall???

I know I'm new to the site but I don't mind helping out if there is anything I could do for the Alfaholics of Cornwall ?!!. I have plenty of time on my hands and a member of the South West Sports Car Club.
Could even try to twist Jonathan or Graham's arm from GB Ongaro's to get involved.

Re: Any body else in Cornwall???

that sounds like a plan - reckon an open day'd be cool (although I spend a fair bit of time there as it is! )

By the way, Terry Tibbs is one of the best characters i've seen in a long time.

Re: Any body else in Cornwall???

With out searching the site, has it been tried before? How many people have said or would like to have something down here?
Speak up CornishAlfaHolics!

Terry Tibbs is a top man and the best one for me is - YouTube - Fonejacker - Terry Tibbs - Mazzarati 3200

Re: Any body else in Cornwall???

Just thinking - I love the sound of the half hour health check thing that autolusso does - must generate a chunky amount of bookings and free advertising!

Sell me! Seduce me... lol

Re: Any body else in Cornwall???

I've heard about the Bacon Sarnies as well, sounds fantastic.

How's it gone at Ongaros?

Re: Any body else in Cornwall???

And after a call to Jonathan it seems that a open day is a NO go
which is really a shame.Mybe we should all just turn up any way and demand a health check up!! Every one call him and bend his ears until he gives in !!

Re: Any body else in Cornwall???

A minnor set in the quest for SW AlfaMainia.
Though I think a Alfa beach BBQ could be a good start as any?

Is there any one one here running a straight through system exhaust as I'm wondering the penalty of getting cought or having complaints about mine? Also have just noticed that my rear DTM is not TUV approved !! Also I start work at 4am!

So Alfa owner's of the SW... Input for meets would be a good start. What do we want?

Re: Any body else in Cornwall???

If anyone is interested in an open day, please let me know and I'll get in touch with the main guys and see what can be arranged. I may be able to lever a bit more bargaining power
