The Alfa Thread

Kimi stuffed it. Cold track, cold tires.



It's been running 3rd to 5th fastest in Barcelona tests, but then I think MB is sandbagging as usual.

The grey one is a rare Euro version with lightweight bumpers. Pampered, 1-owner, 30k miles.

Just read a piece on Alfa bringing something to the Geneva show in March.

Press Release"
“Alfa Romeo will be at the Geneva Motor Show in full force with our award-winning lineup and something new up our sleeves as well. We’re excited to show everyone a taste of what’s next in the world of Italian performance and luxury. Stay tuned on March 5 to see a glimpse into the next chapter of Alfa Romeo’s legendary story.”

So of course everybody has gone off speculating on what it might be.


It's a retro Jeep!


It's a retro aero B.A.T. car!


It's a giant 7 seater blob!


It's a Giulia Alfacamino!

[LateFan]

Or.....

It's a new GTV


It's a rumored mid-engine 8C


It's a 6C Spider and/or coupe


It's a new Giulietta AWD hatch


Nobody knows...

I'll take the BAT car, the new stuff can stay at the dealer.

I'm going to try and get some work done on the Sprint tomorrow. We'll see how that pans out.

1977 Alfetta GT Mario Andretti edition for sale. (This was from when Mario was driving an Alfa in F1) Says rust free, 22,000 mi - crazy. Not sure where yet, might be AZ.

My buddy (E30Bastard) has a Spider that’s the Niki Lauda edition. Looks very similar to that Mario Andretti edition

Here is a little adrenalin rush for your weekend:

Saw one of these in Boulder, CO when I was in college - instant love.

Wow. Thanks for that.

[packratbimmer]

Yea - I keep watching it - rush!

So... I spent about 9 hrs working on the Alfa this weekend. I went back and installed the new spring pads in rear suspension. I didn't do that when I quickly threw the car back together so I could move it when the fires were threatening it the last time I was able to work on it. I also got the dash gauges all wired up... I think. Anyone have a clever idea on how to energize the electrical system without an engine installed? I'd love to get the dash all sorted out before I install the windshield because access is SO much better with no windshield there.

Since its been a LONG time since I last uploaded some pics, I thought I'd do some pics.

Here are some pics of a really cool mod. Lets see who can figure out what I did here.
