Cracking spider and the colour works well, get some nice wheels and that would look the mutts nuts
Best go update my pics for this thread
Hi Van,
I have toyed with the idea of different wheels, and if I was going to do it, I should have done it before I put new tyres on her. I have mixed feelings about the teardrop wheels, I actually quite like them, and they are in very good condition, and they are original of course. I have read all kinds of opinions regarding them, and most folk seem to think that 17 inch teledials work the best, they do look nice, but I am a bit reluctant to pay the very high prices people want for them because they think they are popular. I may have that wrong of course, it may be because they are just hard to come by?
LIke I said previously, I got some thinking to do, IMHO she isn't even run in yet with only 56k on the clock, she is fully polybushed at the rear, complete with new Konis, so polybushing the front and giving her new Koni legs and new springs all round, she will be as good as she can be in the handling department, a new hood would then be next on the cards I was thinking from Carhood Warehouse, but if anybody knows anywhere better I would be interested to hear about them? Her innards are unmarked, so nowt to do there, everything works exactly as it should.
As far as I know, there aint much one can do to a Twinny engine in the way of tuning, well not anything that is meaningful and reasonably priced that is? Anyway, she is a bloody sight faster than me around these Devon B roads and country lanes, actually, she is a bloody sight faster than most things around these Devon B roads and country lanes. She looses out to bigger more powerful cars on the A roads and motorways, but I don't venture onto motorways over much, and on A roads I just drive like an old fart, then they leave me alone!
A lot of the foregoing is just me thinking out loud really and I would very much be interested in other points of view, I haven't exactly been blessed with Alfa companionship or Alfa thinking down here in Bideford.
I like the pics of the 75s, black aint me favourite colour, although I got a black daily driver, I do like Alfa red, even though it tends to go gay after time. I wonder what a Zoe Yellow 75 would look like??? It might make yer eyeballs bleed???
