Hey Mick

Great to have you on board. I love GTA. It's simply beautiful.

Cheers!

Welcome mickitalia.

Also don't move the front seats while you are starting the GTA otherwise you will have disrupted the connectors underneath the seat(s) and an error message will come up about your airbags.  Ask me how I know.

Oh, I had my new neighbours come out last night to meet me and in the process telling me kindly and politely that my GTA was too loud!!!

It was 10:30pm and we (my sons and I) were washing the GTA in readiness for an early start the next day.

Two options there, they were jealous or perhaps not car people. Either way I don't see their problem. Sweet looking GTA, enjoy !

So did you give it a nice blip when u left the next morning on your early start?    ;)   

Better keep good neighbourly relations and leave the loud stuff for when the race car gets moved onto the trailer at midnight before a race meeting!

Back on topic...

Welcome Mick!

Nice looking car...there are a few of us 156 GTA owners lurking about...I hope we get to go for a drive with you one day.

Are you a new buyer or had it for a while? How many kms?

On this forum you will see a Parts For Sale ad from me if you need any bits...I have a wrecked car which may only exist for another week before it goes to the great car-park in the sky...

Q2 is spoken for but until I get the cash, I'm happy for an orderly queue to form behind the (potential) buyer...a lot of Alfa people like to ring up, tell you they'll buy whatever you have, and then a week later, tell you that they have changed their mind.

Cheers
