Bit of an old Alfa fanboi but I haven't owned one for many years. This week I picked up a 2003 model 147 (type 937) Ti 2.0 5-speed for a song, so I guess I'm back.

She's a bit of a project having a dead crank sensor, busted alternator and most of the clear coat missing. While I'm doing the engine work she'll get a cambelt kit and water pump since they haven't been replaced in seven years either. But with only 86,600 on the clock I'm pretty sure she'll outlive me. What I'd really love is something built in the 50's but even buckets of rust are getting $40k these days. Can't do that on a pension. ;-)
