Those be the joys of owning Alfa's!

Morning. Ordered a polybush set from AutoLusso in Bournemouth for the creaky Spider, Lawrence is a really top bloke!

Back at work with the Opel today, driving very nicely at the moment, started first time this morning.

A lot of confused looks...."what the f*** is ti?" type of faces.

This evening, as the GranSport is already cleaned for Brands, I will continue with Coving the En Suite, oh joy of joys, nearly there!

Afternoon folks - tomorrow is (I think) Avenue Driver Club. Anyone going? And if you are Nick, will you be bringing the now 'cool' V6? The hot sunny spell should be a good test of the new rad!

Given up on the avenue sorry David. Not been the same since that Facebook group took over :(

Sorry about that, Nick. It was pretty good today, highlights being 2 Lambos and a road legal Van Diemen (a Formula Ford - I think!)
Fortunately the 'knobs' who spoiled the event a couple of months back were conspicuous by their absence: there were no burnouts and the only 'revvy' departure was one of the Lambos: and who is going to complain about that.......

Are you going to Mitcar in a couple of weeks time? Is there to be a Sports Alfa / Maserati 'thread' / meet up?

Morning all, well actually good night but you get the idea.

My rear end polybush set turned up today, a job for the winter along with fitting a Q2 diff. I hear people rave about them are they really that good? The Spider handles like a bit of a barge so any experiances welcomed.

No personal experience of the Q2, but as far as I am aware you got to be pushing to notice any difference ;) My 156 used to handle like that, best thing I ever did was get Koni's and Eibachs fro EB Spares, absolutly brilliant now, goes round corners flat.....still nose heavy mind ;)

Morning all :)

Morning all, couldn't sleep last night as I'm transferring a very large sum of money today in exchange for a replacement trident! Get to drive it home later but I fear I will be suffering from face ache much earlier than that as the smile is already back. I'm not over the theft of my lovely 4200 yet but today will be a big step forwards.

I got a whisper of it a couple of weeks ago and moved very quickly to buy it, and it is a member's car on here. That is all I'm giving away just now but I'm sure to let slip a bit more through the day

Have fun all...
