    Is that my old car? :pac:

    Most probably. In fact, I was with the previous owner when he bought it down towards Limerick, If I remember correctly.. :P I ended up buying it off him recently.

    A few snaps of the 'ol fleet from the last few days. Been trying to get all 4 clean in order for some decent pictures, not going too well!

    Anyhow here goes!

    Enjoy! :)

    There was a builder in the house two doors up from us (who was Italian) asking our neighbours if the family living in our house were Italian - got a great laugh out of that...:pac:

    GTV is looking very tidy! is it any closer to being on the road?

    Ah not really tbh! Doesn't need that much though, a full engine service plus timing belt, new exhaust system - going stainless steel for that, sort out a sticking throttle cable and it should be ready to go more or less. Rear suspension needs bushes too I think.

    However engine, gearbox, clutch, brakes, front suspension and the interior are all nearly perfect! Not bad eh? :D

    I know a bargain when I see one..;)

    That quote pretty much sums up alfa ownership in a nutshell :pac:

    seriously though for the price you paid, all things considered you are pretty much onto a winner. hope you can keep to your work of having it at a boards meet before we go back to college.

    I'd imagine so, I reckon it's been well minded and it seems an honest enough car. Was away for the guts of 2 weeks a while back and she started on the button first time no issues!

    The only thing stopping me from having it at a boards meet before college begins will be insurance. With the final year coming up I don't know if I'll have the finances for two insurance policies. I'll be looking into it for sure but we will have to see unfortunately.

    While it looks good in the pics it might need a full respray at some stage as it has quite a few marks around it and some damage to the front bumper.

    I still love it though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,846 ✭✭✭discombobulate


    Jealous is not the word on that lot 166man. Need to get another Alfa outside my house asap!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,876 ✭✭✭Scortho


    One for unkel when he needs his Busso fix!:)

    97A99C43_zpsc3b9dc40.jpg

    Will post photos of the exterior when she's cleaned up and has her side skirts fitted!

    Finally have a proper car, for bangernomics money!:)

    No better time to buy one than on Alfa's 103rd birthday.
