I'd keep her as original as possible, I'd keep the A7.

richieffff · 03-04-2021 3:30pm

Now that its finally clean, my Alfa Giulia Veloce. Shame I can't take it for a more scenic photo.

maddness · 03-04-2021 4:04pm

That Alfa is beautiful. So great to see a good colour on a car in a sea of white/black/grey.

Misano Blue with yellow calipers was pretty much my only requirement when looking for one in the UK. Been mad for one for the last two years or so.

I'd actually booked my VRT appointment last year before actually buying a car.

Congrats for owning one ! Hoping to get one at some stage too. Used to have back in days 04 156 ti sw and loved it.

CianRyan · 03-04-2021 6:32pm

Beautiful.
If I could afford to buy into the age and segment, I think I'd be right on that Alfa!

arleitiss · 03-04-2021 6:53pm

It was some very nice sunset last Friday in Dublin, so I pulled over in one of the industrial estates just to snap a pic

Midnight_EG · 04-04-2021 10:25am

The sun came out so the GTR made some friends

traco · 04-04-2021 1:46pm

Out of winter hibernation and what a cracking weekend for it. Gave it a good wash, paid way too much for a beer mat size piece of paper but what can you do. Early morning coffee spin this morning at it may as well have been PCH in California, it was stunning along the coast and all within my 5k

Agreed 100%, that Alfa is stunning looking and so nice to see such a different colour (which really suits it by the way) to what pretty much every other car out there is, too.

I would too, but I'd move the badge to the correct side! Well wear, Kaiser, that A7 looks like a real beauty!

Cheers. She is that!

Getting a few looks locally too I've noticed

They're rarer than the A6 anyway, but not many of them around here.

Yep, I'll move the A7 badge to the correct side then.. did these just have TDI badges or had they moved to that silly 50/55 TDI convention by then (I'm thinking 3.0 TDI like my A6 would be best?)

Stunning in blue....

maddness · 05-04-2021 7:28pm

Plenty of time to clean it at the moment.

Wailin · 05-04-2021 8:41pm

Cracking car madness. A dying breed, and a proper hot hatch. They don't make them like that anymore, you'd be mad to get rid of that I reckon.

I’ll be holding on to it as long as I can, it’s a fantastic mad little thing.

Foxhole Norman · 05-04-2021 8:58pm

Like everyone in this weather, the car got an overdue clean :pac:

Four Phucs Ache · 05-04-2021 10:20pm

Foxhole, stunning but how long do you look for a parking spot, I have nothing as special as that but still hike to tescos

MetzgerMeister · 05-04-2021 11:24pm

Gotta love polished and ceramic coated wheel barrels

Honestly, it doesn't really bother me. At the end of the day it's a daily driver and it's going to take some abuse, it has two small door dents already from our work neighbours in the gym :rolleyes:

Getting rare in that condition.
I can see them appreciating in 10-15 years to be honest.

What is that Audi? What engine too?

Just a regular A4 1.8T

colm_mcm · 11-04-2021 8:57pm

That’s better than most. Lovely car. Did you have the first generation A4 too or am I thinking of someone else?

Yeah I had a B5 1.8T Quattro before it. Kinda sorry I let that one go!

fancy pigeon · 12-04-2021 12:13pm

One out of 3 of the usual photo spots. Hopefully I'll get to the other 2 in due time

CrowdedHouse · 13-04-2021 6:54pm

Just landed at dealer

maddness · 13-04-2021 7:04pm

Lovely, a 330d will be a rare beast in Ireland.

Very nice and fair play to you, there won't be too many of those bought here.

MetzgerMeister · 14-04-2021 10:17am

Absolutely lovely looking car CH. I love the colour combo!

When do you pick her up?

CrowdedHouse · 14-04-2021 10:46am

Thanks MM

I'm supposed to be collecting tomorrow.

Is the grille active or is it fully sealed up? Hard to tell from the pics.

wotzgoingon · 14-04-2021 8:37pm

Got 4 new tyres and a set of alloys for the Levin. The old Advan RG2's were starting to peel and some asshole stopped in the middle of the road about 2 years ago after a blind corner and I jammed the brakes and slid slightly into the kerb so one alloy is kerbed. The old picture below is a old pic so alloys didn't look as good as they do in that pic. The old wheels were 195/45/16 and I decided to go down to 15's for the new set.

CianRyan · 14-04-2021 8:41pm

Very tasty, I'd still love a Levin. I have a real soft spot for them.

I have it a long time, coming up to 4 years ownership in early May. It's the longest car I ever owned. It's also the first car I ever changed a timing belt on. It's not actually that bad to do them but I wouldn't be rushing out to do another.

Wibbs · 14-04-2021 9:09pm

Ahh man a Levin.

Haven't seen one in the flesh in ages. Always liked them.

I did similar Wotz. Have a set of OEM 16's that it came with, but years back got a set of Euro 15's which look identical(have a third set of US/EK9 R 15" rims for winter tyres. Cos I'm mad). Well our roads aren't nearly as smooth as Japanese roads and 15's gave me far more tyre choices and much cheaper for the same model tyres with it. Years back I was offered a set of Spoon wheels, but thought I'm not paying that, but looking back they were a bloody bargain...

I hadn't either until yesterday which is a bit of a coincidence. Some guy was up in ticknock with one and a mountain bike. Looked well but didn't stop as I was with the girlfriend for a walk.

Was going to post a few snaps I got of my own but I realise this morning that she's standing in the background looking bored!

Cookie_Monster · 15-04-2021 10:05am

ELM327 · 15-04-2021 10:25am

The Saab that I got as a trade in when selling the Tesla.
She's a lovely bus, 1.8T badged but it's actually a 2.0t. Surprised myself but this is the best vauxhall insignia I've ever driven

Have the NCT appointment this afternoon.

(EDIT: I should add that it came from another boardsie! First time I've "bought" a car from a boardsie and second one I've sold to a boardsie, that I didnt know beforehand anyway)

Sparco Assetto Gara? I'm so tempted to pick up a set in 16" for my mx5 ND. How do you find them? Also do you mind me asking where you bought them?

I'm looking about 750 sterling from wheelbase including Toyo TR1s... Probs get stung with import tax though

Irishcrx · 15-04-2021 2:39pm

Picked up this beauty last week...
