I get email updates from the East Anglia Group, although I'm in the Essex section and their events tend to be about an hour away. Surprised it's a pay job, usually free meets if you are a member or it's because you are also getting entry into a museum or something. Currently the 1966 Giulia...

Not sure what to make of this 33 Stradale, but give me an 8C any day of the week!

Now you're talking! I do worry that the Project 8 won't drop much, it's pretty exclusive and special. I have a similar powertrain in the F Pace SVR, it's a real corker! The though of more power, less weight and Track Honed adjustable suspension does make my mouth water. It's a crying shame they...

Some suggestion online that the customer had attached a sucker type roof rack at speed. Not an issue with the facelift cars as they no longer have a carbon roof. Alfa deleted it without telling anyone. Another thing that people refused to believe until I and a couple of others started posting...

I think I would take a Project 8 over one of these. If only :) Keeping up with the forums and Facebook Giulia groups people seem to be selling the post 2020 facelift cars after a relatively short period of time whereas the pre facelift cars really got under people’s skin and seem to have been...

Looking back, my 2017 one was very cheap to run. Tax of about £280-£300 a year, from memory pre April 2017 is lower tax, and I bought one of those silly Alfa Service plans, 3 services for about £500. This included the major service and change of aux belts which costs about £1200 usually. About...

Yup, I am in neeeeed of one too :)

Enjoyed the collecting cars podcast where they suggested it was a Ferrari Sponsored Squirrel that kicked the Toyota out of the race, and that it was also mooted that Giovanni had a series of ever larger mammals to throw onto the track if Silvestro the squirrel was not successful.

Went to the Classic Alfa Trackday at Goodwood this weekend, what a fantastic day I had! Caught up with some friends and enjoyed chatting to other Alfisti. Car performed well and all back in one piece. I think the engine surprised a few people, my car is sort of a wolf in sheep’s clothing...

Be sure to check which springs you have on it; if this is a pre facelift car? There were three heights of spring fitted over the years. 2016/17 cars are the lowest then they went a lot higher, then there is yet another one. Certainly not wallowing on the 2016/17 springs in my view. 2018 cars...

I've been daydreaming about a GTAM Giulia Quad, but with the MC20 Nettuno engine transplanted. That would be the dogs spherical objects in a pendulous skin pouch.

Basically it means your paintwork is less resistant to bird Sh!t
