Hi all, guess I'd better introduce myself as I'm hoping to attend a few meets. I live in Gosport and work in Port Solent; originally Welsh but moved here for work some 13 years ago now. I arrived at Alfa ownership through a series of hot hatchbacks, an MX5 and a VX220 Turbo - then the wife fell pregnant and I really had to get "something sensible with four seats"...which is why I ended up coming home with a 147 GTA a couple of years ago..
My 147 is an '04 plate, Rosso with black interior. It differs from standard 147 GTAs by having black 19" wheels, quad-exit Raggazzon exhaust and an Autodelta GTAM front bumper (looks a bit like the Alfa GT's front end) amongst various other bits and bobs. It was originally supercharged by Autodelta until a previous owner reversed the conversion for being "a little hairy".
Maintenance wise things haven't been too bad - water pump and cambelt at about 700 quid was the biggest expense. Mike at A&M Alfa in Wickham looks after it for me.
Nice to hear from you tankrizzo, have a look at some of the meets going on, next one at the moment is 20th march but keep an eye out because there might be more coming.
Week Friday I am off to America. I am going to Autolusso on the 29th of March, if you still wanted to go down there. I think my car is requesting some new CV joints.
Yeh close enough, Surry isnt far away anyway. Your more than welcome to come to our meets, espcially since Surry is covered by the South East which goes all the way down to Dover. :crazy:
funnily enough I bought my car in Poole enjoyed my drive home (even though I knew it wasn't perfect) It was a buy on a bit of emotions
