Hi John....thanks for that mate.

Did you say the first set are free????  :-\

Are they the metric ones I've read up about or normal tyre sizes?

If normal and they'd fit, then sounds like a plan mate. I'll grab em off you and go from there for sure.

Great pick-up Ugame, and great generosity JohnG!

Those rims look great.

Either of you guys going to the AROCA WA club night at Alfa Barbagallo showroom tonight? Great chance to snoop around the Giulia properly.

OMG I would be if I'd known :(

Got stuff on tonight. BUGGER.

Kind of why I'm suddenly more active on this forum actually. I love ausalfa.com also, but not many WA guys on there and I want to get to know the local crew and possibly join the Alfa Club as well.

Want to get into some more track days etc.

Email the local club secretary ( secretaryarocawa1@gmail.com ) and get on board. Club has runs every month, and there is also a formal track competition if you are so inclined.

Will do cheers.

What time is it tonight and is it club members only?

If there's a way (which there probably isn't) I'll be there.

Re track including competition, dont tempt me. You'll make me wish I'd kept the silver 98 GTV as that was rough enough around the edges to make me "enjoy" it more than my newer black 2002 GTV in such situations.

Have done a timed 2 day Classic Rally (Paul Blank's old events) in my Nissan 350Z, and a timed MC event in my Chrylser 300C.

In the not too distant future, I want to get into the Targa sprint series and then Targa West. You only live once.

I'm sure you would be able to get in as an intended new member, it starts 7pm. Good chance to meet others from the club. I suspect tonight will be "well attended".

Requires a delicate conversation ;)

Good luck. Whenever I say Alfa these days, the usual response I get is eyes rolled.

Very good. Have to say the youngish Alfa sales guy john went out of his way to answer questions,  and show the cars off. We had the place to ourselves. They've got a dark blue QV, which he fired up, a black Veloce, a red Veloce and a couple of Supers. Plus a 4c, and obviously plenty of giuliettas. We could pore over them, get in em, anything except drive em. (Might have to go back for a test drive).He said they aren't allowed to sell the blue QV for at least a year, they have to keep it for test drives, but they have been promised six more (first couple already sold).

It's even better looking in the flesh, and I have to say the black Veloce looked spectacular, as it had red leather which isn't available in the QV.

Apparently they will be taking the QV to a club track day later this year.

Worthwhile way to spend a couple of hours, without being hassled by a bunch of salesmen as normally happens when you walk into a showroom. Plus was good to see a bunch of old Alfas in the lot of new Alfa dealership.
