Hi,

That's me on board as well.

Alfa Rommies - well, I'm not in the same league as some of you guys, but in me yoof I had an Alfasud Ti. A small 1196cc engine, but by gum it was ultra responsive and huge amounts of fun to drive.
Shame about the rust!

Apparently they made them out of a high proportion of recycled metal. Loved the sound of them though.

to be honest the last real alfa romeo was the 75 (the last model with rear wheel drive) then...nothing...btw i prefer a lot more the lotus and the caterham, more a go-kart than a car but great to drive...(As i was a week end 2strokes go-karter )

Never owned an Alfa (nearly did once) but did build and own a Caterham 7 1.6 Supersport in 1997-2000. Enormous fun, nearly as much as motorcycling. Sold it to put the money towards a deposit for a house.

It was an aluminium/black one actually...and the baseball hat was because of the sunshine.

The 'sud is a great car. As for rust, never had any problem with the 166, and the 164 has a fully galvanised body so nowt to worry about there at least.

Have to disagree there. The 164 may be front wheel drive, but it still has the Busso V6 laying down it's glorious soundtrack. IMO it is every inch an Alfa in the best sense of the word.
