GTV 2.0TS

Re: Introduce Yourself..!

Hi,

I'm Rob and I live in Gloucester. Only had my GTV TS for 10 days, and absolutely loving it! Got the Alfa bug years ago when I bought and restored a 33 Green Cloverleaf - loved that car. Been away from the marque for some years now, but it was only a matter of time before I came back to the fold.

GTV 3.0 V6

Re: Introduce Yourself..!

Hi all, another newbie here.... I've had my GTV V6 just under two weeks and love it! It's mainly a weekend car though as I have to drive some pretty crappy roads for work, and makes a bit of a contrast with my other car (old Fiat Panda 4x4!). I'm normally either in the Cheddar area, Somerset, near Totnes / Dartmouth in Devon or somewhere in between.......

Re: Introduce Yourself to AO South West!

Hi, Im Jason, 23, Just bought a 97 GTV TS, live just outside Exeter. Very new to the Alfa scene usually play with old vw's but decided a nice comfy Alfa would be a good daily driver.
Ill be keeping an eye on this forum for any local meets etc

Re: Introduce Yourself to AO South West!

Afternoon all

What better way to kill the last 20 minutes of another week of slavery!

Exeter based Blue 156 2.0 TS Selespeed

Bought it a few weeks ago but had some gearbox trouble ( ) so this weekend she gets her first proper run

Must just publicly thank Roy from Autoitaliana (google him) for being one of the most genuine mechanics I have met in a long time for fixing my 156 for a paltry sum making him both a top geezer and a true gent! thanks Roy

Anyways... 13 minutes to go and I’m free!

Happy motoring all

147 2.0 TS Lusso

Re: Introduce Yourself to AO South West!

Hi I'm Pete, I live halfway between Southampton & Fareham so virtually on the South West / South East Boundary - but I'd say I'm South West!

I'm 43 & had my 2.0 TS 147 for about 2 1/2 years. Loved every minute of it. I'm very defensive towards by 147 & the AR brand from the stick I get from the t***ers at work who just don't understand the appeal of owning a proper car with character. Their problem not mine I say!

Dead keen on trying to make a meet some time. Hoping for the Prancing Horses one at the end of May, but not sure of committments yet.

Will stick some photos up over the next few weeks when I've got her polished up.

If anybody sees me in my 02 reg 147 in Gabbiano Blue give me a wave. I always wave when I can but don't get many back
