The North Wales Introduction Thread

Hello all


It’s about time I introduced myself properly to the lounge. My name is Richard but most call me Rich and I am your Rep for North Wales. I’m originally from South Wales. I spent a number of years living in London and near Stoke but I have now settled in Wrexham with my wife of 18 months, Sian.

I am new on the Alfa scene, I bought my 156 in April and I have loved every minute of owning and driving it! I’m ashamed to say I passed the chance of buying a 156 eight years ago and instead bought a Frontera! We all make mistakes!!

I’m slowly getting to learn the technical side, so if you have any questions or problems, technical or not, I shall try to answer them or point you in the right direction.

There will be meets in the near future, which you are all welcome to attend. Dates for these will be posted in this lounge or on my signature! I’m looking forward to meeting you all soon.

Its over to you now, let us know a bit about you and where you live (this would be very handy for me in organising meets near you).

Might be sooner than you think, wish I'd had the strut brace before there's a hotel in Gwytherin I quite like, very out of the way and roads round there are very nice too.

Yeah I read your thread on that, I'm surprised that the suspension would move that much in a car designed to go quickly!

Well keep an eye out for future meets, I'm sure we'll arrange something soon

I don't think iit was ever designed to have a 3.2 V6 in it though

147 GTA hanndling stock is a practical joke, i'll keep an eye on what you have going on mate, look forward to seeing you guys again.

Hi Rich,
I also live up in north Wales (Bangor), good to see we have a rep now. Not sure how many people on here are from north Wales, not too many last time I checked the google AO map!

Hi Simon, good to hear from you

I'm quite often near Bangor. We're renting a house on Anglesey as my wife is currently working in Ysbyty Gwynedd for the next year, I'm still in Wrexham but I'm back and forward all the time. Keep an eye out for a light blue 156.

I shall be organising a meet your way soon, as I know there are a few AO'ers your way. Keep a look out for dates

hi Rich,

Hi Paul

much nicer to live up here (but don't tell the southerners i said that!)
My grandfather is from near Harlech so I've always felt at home up North

I'll keep an eye out for you, I'm going to put my AO sticker in the back window this week, so you'll recognise me
Good to hear from you

A couple of people closer to me than I thought.
I'm from Rhyl.

I've been to North Wales, used to lodge in the Mountain Rescue dorms in Bethesda & worked at RAF Valley for a bit
