So what are you driving now then? What kind of 147?
Good choice on the E.L. I heard of it too late. So I already ordered the 1.9 jtd 16V.
But no regrets. Got to pick her up tomorrow!

DengKao<hr /></blockquote>Indeed sometimes a man has got to do what a man has got to do! My girlfriend wasn't so pleased when I made the decission, but after an evening of romance she understood.

Right now I am driving a 147 1.6 distinctive with 17" inch selespeed alloys.

Wow the JTD is also great. I drove it a couple of times, because a friend of mine drives one. I really like the acceleration of the car it's awesome! Doesn't feel like a diesel to me !

Hi Jerry!!
Good wheels - my favourites!!
What colour is Pelle Cuoio ??

BTW - isn't the 1.6 120bhp??
Cheers
Rick<hr /></blockquote>Pelle Cuoio is the natural colour, I think it looks like sand colour> you know which colour i mean??

No I drive the 105 bhp right now and I like it so i decided that 105 bhp is enough for me. Cause i mainly use the car in the city and here in Holland we got speed bumps, so the acceleration from bump till bump is fine with the 105 bhp. And ofcourse fuel consumption is somewhat beter with the 105 bhp. At least I keep telling myself that!

@Jerry, congrats man! Those alloys are AWESOME (I have standard 15 inch Elegant alloys

).

@Ricks: the 1.6 is in two versions: 1.6 has 105 BHP and the 1.6 Veloce has 120 BHP wink

And yes, don't we all have that red-leather-fetish? But one day....I promise you I'll get my red-leather baby too

!

Congratulations with you new bella! Great you could still order a Edizione Limitata.

Any chance we can meet her (and you) on April 26 during the international 147 meeting?<hr /></blockquote>Yeah I was already thinking about that, but it's my fathers birthday. So I am not sure. I already checked out your site. Great site BTW. But for the next meeting I will be there for sure. Great innitiative! O and I will sent you pictures of my new Bella(just learned that here) to put on your site. That is ofcourse if there's any place left on your great site. There were also some pictures of the colour I selected so I checked them out to see if i made the right decession.

I know the natural colour leather - my wife has it in her 145QV!! I think it will look excellent with a blue outside.

Jerry,

Welcome! Please tell me you ordered the red leather!

Veel plezier op AO.com<hr /></blockquote>Thanks, And I am sorry to say that i did not order the red leather. I didn't like the colour with the Blu Casual of my car.<hr /></blockquote>Jerry, so you're not the best

Geintje!

Gefeliciteerd met de prachtige auto man! Ik zou ook zo graag een Edizione Limitata met Rode leren bekleding willen, maar helaas heb ik al een prachtige JTD Distinctive

Wat is de uitrusting/motor/kleur interieur?<hr /></blockquote>Bedankt! enne 1 advies: ga niet naar de dealer want voor je het weet ben je aan het bellen met een financier om de deal rond te krijgen!!! En tja een JTD is toch ook wel een prachtige machine hoor. Als ik zakelijk een auto zou rijden zou ik zeker gaan voor de JTD. Wat een auto. Alleen tja voor particuliere rijders niet haalbaar. Ik rij slechts 6 tot 7000 km per jaar. dus tja

I had real trouble selecting the colour.

The combination of Blu Casual and Tan Leather is great and so are the other specs. The down side of the color is that you have to wash your bella very often (the dirt shows very quickly)

But too bad I don't have a De Best registered for the meeting yet wink

Yeah I think that is the same colour. The only thing that scares me is that I ordered the colour of the interior and the outside colour from a coloured picture. So I hope i did the right thing. It is kind of exciting! But your picture has eased my mind a little

Well I drive a lease car, so I think I'm lucky! If it wasn't for the lease car, I'm affraid I couldn't afford an Alfa 147, since I just bought a house and that wasn't cheap either wink

Behind the glass, the leather looks a bit darker, but I love the contrast between the light inside and the dark outside...
Post some pics when you get your car!!

Nice specs you have here (even if I would, as I did, wink go for the 120bhp).

I think the color combination you got is quit nice. I like a bit of contrast between the interior and exterior... fire black and beige velvet

wink So I think you got here a good combination.
Anyway, it's an Alfa, so any combination is good wink
