Introduce Yourself to AO South West!

Nice to meet you 004phil! Well, there is a meet happening later this month if you are free, look for the event Prancing Horses, Sporting Hearts in the South West longue. Should be a blinder of a day out

Hi I'm John & I did have a 2.4 JTD but now a M3 (Long story) my son has a 2.0 GTV there are some pics on here somwhere .
I'm in Almondsbury Nr Bristol & the Severn Bridge 1& 2

Hey bobster, nice to see you around!! Is your boy on here at all?

Hi to everyone! Let me introduce myself, i have recently moved to the south west after living abroad for 5 yrs. Owned a few alfas in my time, Guliettas, a few 75s, 3 164s and just treated myself to an '82 GTV6. It needs a few jobs doing, but goes well and is pretty sound, I am enjoying it for now and hope to work on the body through the winter. Hope to come to a local meet and chat Alfas some time! Marcus.

Thanks fro dropping by Marcus, be good to meet you soon

... but keep the 147 - you know you want to!!

Well I got her back today from Meridien Milano (Portsmouth) so one week & nearly £ 1400 later she's back on the road. Still split on whether to keep her I wanna keep her & the wife wants to defect to something else. As I pointed out to buy what she wants will cost at least another £ 7-10K on top of the 147, even if I get a £1000 plus bill every couple of years it's still cheaper hat getting something else. So I'm now thinking of keeping the 147 & trading the missus in for a younger more streamlined model instead!! A quick note about Meridien - very professional, friendly & helpful the car seems to run better than ever. Yes is was expensive but I got a lot of work done for my money. Highly recommended

I have heard very good things about Meridian, so that is always a plus!

You know you will keep the 147

Yes I was very impressed with Meridien. I'd say the service is actually one of the best I've come across with a main dealer. Far better than my recent experiences with other garages (Peugeot, Renualt, Citroen & Seat). So I'll be going back but hopefully only for servicing & not expensive repairs!!

Great stuff

Hi, I'm Julian, but most people call me Jules. I'm from Barnstaple and drive a 147 jtdm lusso, which I've had just under 2 weeks. It's my first Alfa, and so far so good

Nice to see you on the Fourm bigjules (I'll avoid shortening the name like I do to most members ), and hopefully out at some meets

well all being well, I should be at the meet next weekend

Great stuff, be good to meet you

Have already posted in the newbies forum, but thought I'd say hello here as well.

I'm Yate based and have just bought a 98 Spider TS, hope to see some of you around.

Hi Jules, nice to see someone else from b'ple here if you see a red 146 without a roof rack or a red sprint then give me a wave
