Default Nice, you realize, of course, that we haven't seen new Alfas in the U.S. since 1990ish.

I believe - I have a old FIAT.

Default I have never seen an Alpha in all my years in Onrtario :(, maybe at a car show

That is an absolutely beautiful picture though, I can't wait to see more!

Default You are hanging around with the wrong car guys:).

There are a couple of garages in the GTA (i.e. Toronto) who specialize in repairing FIAT's and Alfa's. Torontonians love acronyms.<ul><li><a href="http://www.pinarellomotori.com/">Here's one.</a></li></ul>

Default That seems strange... There used to be an Alfa parked along the street at my high school...

One day at lunch, someone tried to pass another car coming out of the parking lot, and just rocked this poor Alfa.

He tried to drive away and the owner came running out after him.

Let's just say that little incident left me with many lingering questions.

Why would he attempt to pass another car on the left on a one lane road?

Why would he drive away? It's not going to take long before the school and car's owner find out who did it. The poor guy's house was right across the street from the school, after all.

It WAS a nice car too: Had a Pinninfarina (spelling?) body kit and looked mint. Don't know what model it was, though...

Default Pretty, but as long as we're lusting after Alfas - let's dream big.

Default Oooooooooooooo vary nice! Me likey. Good for you! Just *LOOK* at...

...that farquing intake!

Describe the sound under full bog'd WOT if you would. Love to hear further impressions after you put a few tanks of petrol through your right foot.

I've not been in an Alfa since a Milano Verde (schweet sound!)... well... not in a modern one at least 8-):

Thanks for sharing...
