Time For Tea? more Alfa Romeos...

OK, we've had a bit of a thing for Alfas this week; we'll cap it with this lovely little video

---

After looking at Autodelta's greatest hits from its 50-year anniversary - celebrated here - and a GTA Pic Of The Week our Alfa Romeo awareness has been heightened. You wait for one and three come along at once and all that but we can't resist sharing this lovely little vid from the ever dependable Petrolicious of a bunch of Californian enthusiasts out for a bit of a razz around Willow Springs in a selection of lovely old Alfa Romeos.

You'll often hear the language of obsession in association with old Alfas too - Alfaholics, Alfaholism, etc - and given that you'll hopefully forgive our temporary slide into the same. Hard not to seeing, and especially hearing, the cars in action. Loving the Polizia Giulia too!

Enjoy!

The best thread on this forum was and still is the one with all the 105s on it... wonderful thread with pics to lift the heart, real enthusiasts of the first water.

I need to buy another Alfa. The current lump of Audi is doing nothing for me..

"Objects in mirror are losing" Perfect. Great clip but lose the music!

I used to live near Willow Springs. Just thought I'd mention it.

Lots of lovely (rust-free) classic Alfas - in a part of the world that obviously doesn't see much rain

Must have a 105 in my life soon.

I grew up with those. Do you have a link, sir..?

[Gene Vincent]

Ricksalafas posted the link, the thread is motoring pornography... you have been warned.

[JimmyJam]

It just doesn't get much better than that for me, fantastic

[uncinquesei]

Has there ever been a car that sits better on the road than a 105 series Alfa? The whole "stancing" scene needs to look at a car with a natural stance...
And I loved the mirror...

[gforceg]

Well, I'm glad SOMEONE saw that too.

[dandare]

The 105 is one of my favourite cars, ever. such a pretty shape. Purposeful and without a bad angle.
I've got to get one. I've been thinking about it for about 20 years now and have never taken the plunge.

Video was too short, but still lovely.

[allegerita]

why on earth do people always want to put MUSIC under a video once an older car gets in sight? I don't get it. I really don't.

[Stingercut]

A big thumbs up from me
