Alfaholics on Pelican?

I can't find alfalfa spouts anywhere in the supermarkets these days.

They really need toasted good bread, mayo, peanut butter, thick layer of sprouts.
Yum. Sammich.

Alfas. So many beautiful cars.
I saw this one in France this spring.

Nice pick up Greg -= I've had a couple of Alfas. The driving position blows. I've got big feet - with the last Alfa Spider I had - I had to be careful on the shoes I wore, or take off my shoes before driving.

I've almost for a spacer made for the wheel but ended up selling the car and buying a Porsche.

I love the GTV's - one of may favorite - but as soon as I sit in one - all those things come back to me. Engine is fantastic - and with the right exhaust, sounds fantastic.

Is that a hanging pedal car? If so, here is a link that might help a bit. It is spider, but should work about the same for you.

Thank Jeremy. It was always on my car bucket list of sorts, and probably the last attainable car on the list if I'm honest (The Alpine A110 is $100K now)... I'm in love with the looks and sounds, feels like a baby Ferrari - but still struggling with the driving position. My 2002 is lot less sexy but a lot less fussy ;-)

Shifter- thanks for the link, will investigate !!

Nice car! I always liked the Sprints and GTVs! If your car is a 2.0 liter, does it have the Spica fuel injection? If so, be certain to change all of the fuel filters when servicing the engine. There is a small round filter insert that can be easily missed that is located right at the injection pump. Also, if you find the need to change the clutch, it can be done without taking the interior apart. From under the car, reach around the transmission and find the 6mm screw and nut that holds the shifter in place. Working blind, remove the nut and bolt and the shifter will pull off of the stub going into the gearbox. Remove the drive shaft and transmission, replace the clutch and reinstall the tranny. Reach back around the transmission, find the end of the shifter and slip it back on the stub. Replace the bolt and nut and make sure it is tight. Doing the job this way will let you avoid removing a seat and the console which can be a real pain to reinstall! Good luck with your new toy!

Damn you guys, and your recent GTVs. I've been Alfa free for 9 years, and now I'm getting a familiar itch again. This is not good.
Well, that's what Alfa stands for: Always Looking For Another

I had one a long time ago it seems now.



Traded it for my first Porsche.
