Nice cars man, and welcome to JW!

Damn that GTV must fly! Looks superb too! I couldnt understand the turbo either, but ofcourse they were never produced in the UK! Really really nice cars you've got there mate, tastefull modifications, and i bet they sound superb!

lovely machines, you have a fellow Alfisti's respect.

I like your 'ideal' garage aswell. I want another Alfa but I really can't afford this one right now

Too bad (for my bank account) its staying

.

Your 75 looks familiar, I'll assume it was on Cuore Sportivo?

Iwan · 01-31-2005, 06:22 AM

hi mezevenf,

tx, yep it's is on CuoreSportivo as the 166 and GTV too

renato
(CuoreSportivo.ch) is one of my best friends and we where responsible
for the 2 biggest alfa romeo reunions in central europe with over 300
alfa romeos.

cheers,
iwan

I heard that the CuoreSportivo site was undergoing a big change?

You heard anything?

your 166 is a sexy looking beast Iwan

Iwan · 01-31-2005, 02:58 PM

hi Mezevenf, well renato is currently more then busy, he is planning a redesign
of his page - don't worry and giv'em some time

Dan\/6 - (damn, it always takes hours till i find slash/backslash on my US
keyboard)......anyway...freaking avatar - well done

still have a 3.0 V6, but
24v for you to pick up and get planted into your GTV6....ehehehh....take care!

cheers iwan

Mezevenf · 01-31-2005, 08:23 PM

Mmmm Alfa 24V V6 conversions

Do it

Iwan · 02-08-2005, 05:18 AM

to go for a ride with my little son, and....some shots of course

enjoy,

iwan

Wow..those pics are great Iwan.lovely scenery with a lovely car

1zippo1 · 02-08-2005, 08:24 AM

Great pics Iwan!!

I must also compliment you on the choice of your cars.

A real carfreaks choice!! If I would ever have that many cars in my garage I would feel damn proud. Especially with all those beautifull alfa's. (must cost a shitload to insure)

May I however give a little remark... you know what's missing, the new Alfa GT. All of the Alfa's in your garage are very good looking but the GT is just perfect IMO!

Iwan · 02-08-2005, 08:38 AM

tx to all....

well 1zippo1, this might be your opinion, personally i'm more into the 916 GTV
but....who knows....maybe one day, i will trade in all the cars for a BRERA?
personally i consider the GT a little to soft and 'femalish' but maybe i'm wrong...

in switzerland it is not so expensive to have two or more cars. as mentioned
somewhere before, you can register 2 cars on one numberplate...so, you pay
taxes and insurance for the higher 'valued' car only.....

tx to all....
cheers
iwan

btw, a lovely car, a friend of mine
has one but sold it recently (bought a 166).

cu,
iwan

tis no longer in my sig, but my uncle owns one in britain. i love that car, and i really wish they sold them here. i learned to drive in a 1988 alfa spider. i still have that car, but it is in really bad shape. i intend on restoring it, but parts are hard to find in U.S. IMO, alfas are sexier than ferraris. i dunno y, but i guess its because they are more exclusive in the states than ferraris, and they are drop-dead gorgeous!

**EDIT** btw, iwan, that 166 is incredible. i want one. i want one now.

I wish people in Australia would give that kind of regard to Alfa, very under-appreciated by most Australians. My friends give me shit all the time for having "a shit car" and tell me to buy something better with my money (*cough*180SX*cough*). No thanks.

As for Alfa parts being rare in the states, not exactly

.

http://www.international-auto.com/ That's a great place to start looking for parts, and there are more US based alfa parts places.
