Alfa-GEEK?

How is your other half taken by the Alfa thing?
Mine just does not get that a car is anything more than transport. I get called an Alfa-GEEK and such like for enjoying my car and visiting the forum!!! She still moans that I should have bought a Mondeo .

Does anyone else have these issues or have I cocked up here and got myself the wrong one (missus not car)

I will not be trading either in however as they are both stunning in their own way - just wanted to see if I am not alone in the Alfa-Geek club.

Interesting dilema also that it has only as yet come to nothing more than name calling and obvious mental cruelty by suggesting owning a mondeo....if you need to ever look at how devistating mondeo driving can be - you only have to look at me and darren156 for your evidence

I hope if the day ever comes when push comes to shove - you will let her down gently

Past girlfriends have had a habit mentioning my "obsession" with my car and anything AR related. One even got caught up in it too and started loving everything AR.

Being single is best - just you being able to enjoy your car with no nagging or tutting/sighing

Don't think it's just an Alfa thing mate; most birds (ducks for incoming) don't get cars full stop - it's just one of those celebrated differences between the sexes.
Does any bloke understand the female obsession with shoes ?

mine doesnt seem to mind, i think she was most impressed that her hair colour almost matches the leather...

she doesnt get interested in cars but she can see that cars are a part of me shows some interest

Hmmmm. Sounds familiar........



Stick with it, mate You know it's worth it

my mates have called me an alfa-geek...




i told my bloke once.....'on no account think i wil love you more than my alfa'

he believed me...he is now my X

Neither my wife or eldest son get the Alfa "thing" especially the wave which is why i do it thankfully Ben gets it and is a crackin co-pilot on our many AO outings

Mine actually does get it...up to a point....thinks most other cars are boring and fancies a spider. She's been to a few meets and enjoyed them but does def not get the waving bit at all My daughter on the other hand thinks the whole thing is sad and calls people on here my pretend friends kids, dont you just love em

My wife understands as she has her own car that is her pride and joy. A cat only has to think about jumping on to it and she gets the broom out.

She will deny this to the end though.

Mrs Corbo enjoys driving it as much as me I think, we have a 50 mile round trip each day and drive one way each. It's just the part where I explain to her it's a car and not a wardrobe where we have issues.

I am that GEEK

Mr PG has no problem with me adoring my Bella because he is as daft on Jaguars He comes along to all the dos (to watch me in case I try to run off with someone of course )

However, he barely the time I spend on here

I love my car soo much, i must be a Geek. Mr GT bee gets it, in fact he wants mine so "i can have a spider"
and he used to have a 145 so we are quite equal in geeky-ness

Thanks guys made me feel much better. Suppose I just have to accept being a GEEK!! - its not so bad, at least its an Alfa!!
