Wednesday, and I've had offers from ITV2 to dramatise this.
A 147 'HFB' parked up in Queensbury. Then 'MGC' on a white 156 in Hipperholme, closely followed by 'RNY', a blue 156.
Into Brighouse for 'HVX' on another blue 156 before the morning finished again in Brighouse with 'DLJ', a blue 147.
This evening, 'EDD', a smart silver 156 in Morrisons car park on Rooley Lane, then across the road 'LMA' on a red 156 with a loud and proud bodykit. Well done sir.
Surely out of the 20 odd I've seen in 3 days there must be more then 1 regular from here?
Thank you I got a wave from an Alfa along the Otley road between Harrogate and Beckwithshaw this morning.....at last I was flashing my lights and have even persuaded my journey share passenger to wave at ALL Alfa's.........
Saw 6 Alfas( 2X147, 1X 159, 1XMito,1X166,1X156) on my way from home to Ripon and back yesterday via Pool, North Rigton, Beckwithshaw and Ripley...but was in the Punto (its last journey) so did not wave....
Started with a beauty of a red 159 SW 'YXP' on the Bradford ring road, then there was the pushy-in Spider again 'ALU' on the M62 slip road, followed by a black Spider UPX in Holbeck.
Only one on the way home - a facelifted 147 in silver 'HXG' parked up in Lidget Green.
Tomorrow is the last commute of the week, before hopefully some leisure spotting over the weekend.
I wish all you lot would stop mithering me to do today's update. I'm a busy man you know - I own 2 Alfas so life is never dull....on ebay for a part, picking it up from the garage, working to pay for the next service, arguing with Alfa UK customer service, waiting in reception in Dews of Brighouse.....
Today was the final commute of the week and threw up an eclectic mix of;
A Blackline GT on the 606 'ZWM', then further down that mammoth queue was a red Mito 'HFK' and finally 'LNE' on a gorgeous (aren't they all) Brera in grey in Holbeck.
Then none on the way home.
A trip into North Yorkshire awaits this weekend, so let's see what that brings......
The final day of the epic Alfa wave week. It ended simply with a Ti SW in the car park of the Tempest Arms at Elslack yesterday, and a blue 147 at Girlington this morning.
What a week. Who could forget the Brera in Holbeck, the surprise of the Mito on the 606, the 159 on the ring road.
Thanks for all the e-mails of support and encouragement. I can't promise to respond to them all but they kept me going, even through the hard times.
I have seen 4 alfa's on my way home from work today (Doncaster - Mexborough via Sprotbrough & High Melton)
Lovely 159 on Pastures Road near the right turn to Cadeby
Blue 146 turning into Pastures Road (I was the woman in red 156 sportwagon waiting at the lights that nearly banged her head on the window whipping me head round for a better look !)
Dark Grey/Black GTV in the queue on Doncaster Road :lol:
Red 147 also in queue on Donny Road :thumbs:
Waved to all but NOT ONE waved back :tut: Try again tomorrow
I was coming out of a road in Armthorpe, Doncaster tea time today and nobody would let me out. Could not believe it a red GTV came round corner waved and let me out. Not often you see two red GTVs driving along together. Waved as we departed and went separate ways too. Had foreign/irish plates I think
Got a wave from driver of a black 159 Sportwagon just north of Kanresboro today at about 5.30 pm. I'd just come out of Piccadilly Motors having had a few niggles on my GT attended to. Was it you?
saw a black 145 in york today by cliffords tower, fairly long range sighting so couldnt wave, car appeared to have a non-standard backbox with oval tailpipe...anyones?
No waves at all in south Yorkshire into Derbyshire for the last year! I reckon all these Alfa drivers on my route probabley haven't heard of this forum! Will someone please wave to me - although Wayne always waves at me!!
Almost got one from a 146 driver yesterday near Jct 2 of the M18, but I think we where both so taken aback by the fact we'd noticed each other we forgot to wave.
Whenever I see other Alfa owners they're just not looking in my direction (apart from one time!) so I wonder if they just don't care! I would wave but..noone seems to wave / be anticipating!
Got a great wave and a flash today, just off the Otley Road outside Harrogate. I think there a 2 types of drivers "those with an Alfa" probably company car and those who "drive an Alfa", they wave!!!

Saw a black GT (55 plate, I think) with black alloys in Drake House Retail Park in Sheffield on Saturday afternoon. Got a wave and a 'thumbs up'... Although I did let him into the line of traffic... So it might have been for that.
Twice this week I over-took a black 156 2.4 JTD on the M62 after the M1 Junction. On wednesday and thursday.
