Hey, just joined the forums today, thought I'd post a pic of my 147 GTA. Bought it 2nd hand in september. I love it, its great, but the power steering (I think) is on its way out, hopefully will get that sorted this week, I hope this isn't a sign of things to come!

Any other GTAs on here? WOuld love to see them if there are...

I take it you've gotten over your problems of dead and dying gearboxes/diffs, then?

And the race prep in picture #1 proves that you only drive it like an octegenarian, as you repeatedly tell Alfa Romeo?

I drive and still do drive the car like Miss Daisy in comparison to other "Alfisti".
The Race day logo's yes. I did bring the car down to the track when my car had 30,000km. Now the car has done 43,000km with no failure!
My failure happened when I had only 9,000km. Figure that hay?!

Very nice Jack, I quite like those wheels, not sure if I prefer them to the usual affair though...

They are lighter, though, which is A Good Thing.

thanks, I really like the wheels, although it does give a "solid" ride lol
Didn't know they were lighter than the standard 17" wheels?
And yes, they are a bugger to clean!

Mine arrived 4 weeks ago - same coulour and wheels as yours. 4000 miles done now and starting to enjoy.

Only fault so far is water ingress - drivers side door.
