do we not have a spotted section in south wales??

[hooperooy]

anyway. as above. looked through some other regions and they seem to have a spotted thread. would be nice to see if anybody else is seen out and about in south wales.

or maybe its just me haha

[hooperooy]

oh and to stop any confusion i am at swansea uni so thats why my location says gloucestershire (tis my home address) not wales.

[tess]

good idea.....i see lots of alfas and wave to them and sumtimes get a wave back....would be good to see if its sumone on here....

[SPPalfa]

Well the thread has now been started.

Saw a black 156 SW on the way to work and the driver totally ignored me.

As I've said elsewhere, I saw my first ever MiTo on the road yesterday, beige / cream coloured it was, driving up Sketty Road by Singleton Hospital, at about 11:30 am ish.......

[n13roy]

I wave / flash to most Alfa's I see, but very rarely get a response nowdays !!!!!.......

[SPPalfa]

Beige - not sure how that would look, not my cup of tea at all

Karen saw a beige Leon the other day and said it was stunning

That MiTo certainly caught my attention, looked a lot bigger than I remembered too, but I only saw ( and sat in ) the Red one at the Motor Show last Year. Beige / Cream wouldn't be my choice either, but there are loads of FIAT 500's in that exact colour down here. So it must be a popular choice, possibly a female thing !!!!!.......

[SPPalfa]

Still wouldnt want a beige one - I have seen a few 500's in that colour

[tess]

i woud wave if i saw i roy/sean....

[hooperooy]

cool ill keep an eye out now!

[hooperooy]

There are LOADS of Alfa's in and around Swansea, there is hardly a Day goes by without me seeing a few on the road, and some parked up too !!!!!.......

I used to wave to all the Alfas I spotted but got so many weird looks and almost no waves back that I've mostly given up...

Probably look a bit better if you were driving your Car at the time !!!...


Yes, I do know what you mean there though. D.R.......

[tess]

i would wave to u dr......

[n13roy]

Got got a nice smile, and wave from a Guy driving a Blue 145 Junior in Tesco Car Park ( Swansea Marina ) this Morning, not seen that Car around before, looks very much lke a 145 Cloverleaf, until you see the word Junior on the skirt where the green badge was !!!!!......

[Crank]

There are two 155`s here in Penarth and neither wave back. You would think with an Alfa as rare as a 155 that the other drivers would be an Alfisti. I saw my first MiTo in Caerphilly on Monday (black) and he had to pull over to let me through ( I was in my 75TS) in a back street choked with parked cars, and he ignored me as well !! So I don`t feel inclined to wave.

crank...i will wave to u if i see u hun...


saw the sexiest electric blue gt in the glebelands car park this week....it was fantastic....and i was drivin a p reg pug..the scruffiest thing u ever saw..works car....so didnt feel that i could do the alfa wave for fear of the driver thinkin i am nuts

one of those times i wish i had bin drivin the babe...hey ho..thats life

[Crank]

I have a red 75TS and a prugna metalic (purple) 155 on the road at the moment and use both for work so am on the road in South Wales most days and I think they are the only ones in that colour in the region. All three Suds are "in need of attention" and likely to stay that way for the forseeable future.
Who owns the black 159 and silver 147 that are parked in Stanwell road opposite Trinity Church. Surely anyone who owns two Alfas must be aware of this web site? That`s assuming they are both owned by the same family.
Actually a guy in a silver 156 Sportwagon did give me the wave in Dinas Powis the other day and someone in a Vauxhall Carlton near Skenfrith (Abergaveny area) a few weeks ago but both were gone before I could respond. Other than that I don`t think I have had a wave in 20 odd years of driving Alfa`s. 2CV drivers were much more friendly.

[tess]

cank i will defo wave to u if i see u...u cant miss my babe etna black w90tes....wave and peep ur horn....i will respond

sw my first mito today on the m42 towards tamworth...overtook him and waved but he ignored me....oh well...mines better than his anyway

[n13roy]

I saw a lovely black 147 Ducatti Corsa, parked up in the Uplands area of Swansea yesterday. First one I've seen on the road in fact !!!!!....

[jamietinks]

[n13roy]

Got a nice wave and a smile from a Gentleman in Swansea driving a VERY well kept red 164 this Morning, reg was DRB 457........Anyone on here I wonder !!!!!.........
