That's actually the colour we used when we painted the Alfaholics GTA race car! Looks slightly darker here but that's it.




In keeping with the thread title, a recent shot of my own car-



Great to see you are still wheeling that 75 around. Have fond memories of my old red one you had from me.

Still got the Jag? That's a great 2 car garage if so.

Sadly the XJ has gone, and this has replaced it.

I was having quite a few

I was having quite a few problems with it, and the DPF, apparently beause it's in the wrong place, it fails to complete regens, then causing oil dillution, and needing a service every month.. So wasn't really viable for me, also even I knew it was large, it was a bit too big for what I needed, relative to the room inside the car.

This should make much more sense for a daily driver, looks great, and hopefully will he cheap to run, and useful too!

Oof, love the white wheels.

2006 facelift two litre over here: what should I do to the spring / damper setup?
I love an A110 feel and I won't go too low. Currently on 17" (GTV) Tristars 215/45 Pilot Sports.
That said, the best money you could spend on yours, unless it's already fitted, would be a Q2 diff. Totally different car with/without.
Would that be the Q2 diff as fitted in the last GT?

They say two litre won't benefit but I like to really accelerate in corners so it must do something I guess...

I'd like to keep the ride height: standard is OK and will get me 85 mph on a cloverleaf.

On crappy roads it really sticks and it's just so lovely to keep ahead of stiffer cars at 85 something...
They bounce and loose traction at those speeds...

A110 Alpine like suspension would be superb.

Not a car this time but an early Christmas present from Mrs SA (I opened it by mistake as I was expecting a package).

I blummin' love this car - what a fantastic drive.

Got it in July, and immediately drove from the midlands to Annacy France and Geneva - sublime!

An Alfaclub SCARB meeting at ace Alfa Romeo garage Alfa Romeo specialist van Neerijnen in Utrecht: celebrating 60 years of Alfa Romeo Giulia, the birth of the famed 105-series. October 16th 2022.

Fast road spec Giulia caught my eye.


Perfect courtyard for a gathering like this.


Lovely details.


Workshop has this timeless atmosphere I like so much.


Famous Nord on big Weber Bologna carbs.

Autumn 2022 60 years of Alfa Romeo Giulia meet:

Alfa Giulia 1600 Super Biscione in all its glory


Lovely 60s and 70s details


Interior to die for: this is a 70s Giulia dash with the plastic bits and vinyl seats. Gorgeous.


Bumperless Giulia nose adds to the fast street cred.


Cuore Sportivo: loud barking Nord twincam might be the most legendary postwar four.

Here's my new 2001 Alfa Romeo Spider - it's my first Alfa Romeo, and already completely besotted with it. Few work on points but looks to have had a good life so far.

Nice Sud

I can’t quite believe I didn’t post a pic of my car after painting.
