Nice, love the Subaru look.

Did you buy them in that colour or have them anodized/painted?

That looks great, what a good colour combination.

Lots of folk referencing Subaru unsurprisingly :-) I actually took the colour from a 458 Speciale and had them painted Ferrari Gold.

Here's mine, not very exotic but very rare.

Lovely colour combo rather than red.

I loved my 2.0 TS Lusso cloud9
I’m only a week in and I think it’s the best £510 I’ve spent ever! biggrin
Dutch 2006 147 2.0 TS here. Drove it to South of France, UK coastal tour and recently had the oil sipping (1 : 500 kms) TS done. It is a brisk car indeed and at the dawn raids I organise the pre-G 911 cars have difficulty to follow me when I hit 3rd gear twisties. The thing comes alive above 4k. Tire pressure is a thing. It steers like a mf. About 30-35 mpg average. Find a good one and cherish it: a 1.6 does not compare.

Some stunners on this thread. The 4Cs and 156gta in particular.

Here my humble Alfa, had it over three and a half years which for me is a VERY long time. I really like it, other than a multi air unit replaced under warranty it’s been reliable, cheap to run, reasonably powerful (168bhp 1.4 turbo) and practical.


Great tow car for the Eriba, I bet it flies along!

We have a Triton that I was hoping to be able to tow behind my E46 M3 but it's not homologated for towing so have to chug along with it behind our Honda Fr-V mumtruck, not so quick!

Indeed, the Puck is so small I really have to concentrate to not creep past the towing speed limit! Feels like a great tow car and averages 30mpg.

Off topic but we’d love a Triton, it would mean a fair bit more space (so the dog doesn’t have to sleep on the bed with us) but still retaining the character.

Autocar are doing a buyers guide to the 145 QV this week.
Quite complementary about it on the whole.

When I was a kid in the 80's I used to spend my pocket money on Autocar. A once great magazine ruined.

Still it's great they looked on the 145 favorably.

New to posting on this forum. Love the Alfas here.
Mine is a 1985 Alfetta GTV 2.0 with the Twin Spark from the Alfa 75. This was taken at the 2019 Alfa Romeo Owners Club (Victoria) Spettacolo in Melbourne.
