Along with the advertised F1 car and the like, both the Alfa 8c Competizone and the 8c Spider will be there.

Also expect the Mito Cloverleaf and Giulietta to be there.

Who's going?

A shouting at. Is this a typical welcome to Alfa Romeo, Fiat & Lancia forum?

Courtesy of herbialpha, I'll leave you alone.

Oh by the way, "It's"

Not really.

You are both correct though. It is Alfa (not Alpha) and it is it's (not its).

Pedantic mode off.

But is it "it's"?

I'm with herbialfa on this one. Doesn't "it's" suggest a possession, whereas "its" is a shortened version of "it is", which would be the correct statement in this context. If I'm wrong, please forgive smile

It's clear this forum needs to be given a wide berth - primary school English and playground mentality. Nothing about cars.

Nonsense.

The mis-spelling of Alfa (historically A.L.F.A.) as Alpha is a real bugbear to owners. When someone corrected you, you had a couple of options - you could have laughed it off, or you could have had a strop.

Forget trying to spell Alfa try Giuiuiuilietttttaaa - I can never get it right!
Giuilietta.
Gulietta.
Guilietta.
Giuiletta.
Anyway OP you may not be able to spell Alfa and you might be a bit moody but you have excellent taste in cars so both of you should kiss and make up and just enjoy your cars with like minded individuals.
