My First Alfa Meet lol

Post by Crome » Tue Feb 15, 2011 8:57 pm

Well i went to an alfa meet.. was actually quite like a rover one :)
NO Break downs lmao.
The girl friend has a nice gtv 2.0 twin spark, not too bad, quite nippy. She has been to quite a few meets and shows in the past few years. Iv only been going out with her a few months and i think ill be going to all the alfa meets with her, quite good chat and they always pick a route to go a blast after lunch... think ill be putting that into the next scottish meet :)

I thought the meet was going to be held in that car park to keep the rain off the electrics!

Nearly bought a sportwagen a couple of years ago. Think they are yummy but found the interior a bit claustrophobic.

Alternator change on a 166 V6 is awkward - it requires you to partially dismantle the front right suspension to remove the alternator. Then there's the cost of the replacement item.......................eye watering!
