Hi chaps

I'm on the hunt for a V6 GTV. I've signed up to the forum but haven't received a confirmation email. I tried chasing up through 'contact us' a couple of days ago but haven't heard anything. Are the mods pro-active over there?

Cheers

Usually very on the ball. Have you checked it hasn't gone in your Spam box?

I have yeah. I used my work email, but in contacting them also gave them an alternative address. It's all gone quiet!

I'm keeping it under my hat until money has changed hands, there's not many about!

A quick dig in my post history may yield some rather obvious clues mind

often over here - but usually on other forums - not much alfa traffic here.

I used to love AO, it really focussed my interest on Alfa's, then Classic Alfa's and then ultimately active Motor Sport in a classic Alfa, but if I'm honest I think it's lost something somewhere now. I rarely log on and spend more time on the Owners club forum or various Rally forums.

In my mind AO went downhill when the concept of it being a 'club' started, something changed and I can't put my finger on what it was.frown

The software's good though, better by far than anything else I've used.

Totally agree, I rarely bother with it now.
