Alfetta GTV6s what are they like to live with

[pep105]

Dave,

How did you go ? Did you broach the subject with wifey  ?

Is she gonna join this forum and blast me ? 

Do you want me to pick you up from station pier, with a blank postcard ?

Dont worry about sleeping in the car I get that all the time. As they say she'll get over it mayyyte.

Cmon Dave do it !!!!

If you need any other proposals let me know as Ive had a lot of practice

Im going crazy I havent driven an Alfa for more than 6 months & listening to GTV6s and 105s on you tube just doesnt cut it anymore 

[Mat Francis]

Pep- you are welcome to drive the Twinspark- PM me an address and i'll come pick you up the sunday after next, show you the good local roads  

Dave- buy a GTV6 and nestle yourself between the two Alfettas in my backyard  

Edit: Keep the 21st free instead if it's not too late, we can share the driving on the EMR to Nojee. There are some seriously good roads out that way. Should be a hoot.

[dehne]

that would be a bad decision to nestle a gtv6 between alfettas as it might catch that disease called cararustalotsa bring it to my place a let it relax between the 90's but the only thing it might catch is electricalitis but it probs already has that and if not will prob have 2morrow anyway

Hey Pep re the forum, I am pretty certain the wifey thinks it is my mistress and that I spend far too much time on-line reading and writing re Alfas etc.   So, and in answer to your question did I make the suggestion, er ah....well no, (I chickened out) for she is a Beemer person and just doesn't get the Alfa virus addiction thing. 

Picking me up from station pier with the blank postcard would be a most definite right thing to do, if i were to seriously suggest selling her car and giving her mine, so that I could get another Alfa.  I think I would on a one way ticket for sure.   But thanks too for all the suggestions and am happy to hear more. 

So yes to both your encouragement and Mat's don't worry I will get that V6 but precisely when am not so sure now. Youtube regrettably will have to suffice, oh and trying to find someone here to give me a ride in one.  Though that might make simply make it worse for me.

I do understand the lack of Alfa in one's life and that youtube after a while simply doesn't cut it.  I was experiencing that issue myself late last year when I lent my 156 to my dad after he sold his car and was waiting on the new one to come out from Europe.  However, at least my brother came to the rescue and lent me one of his cars, a tired 33 (with a dodgy gearchange and heavy steering).

The missus is now is talking of us going on hols up the east coast of Tassie camping with the wagon in March (bugger there went the idea of coming over for the 100 years of Alfa celebrations  ). Previously it had been a trip around down the Great Ocean Road and inland Vic back through to Ballarat in March, which could have fitted in with a quick trip over to Philip Island to catch up with you guys, but given that our funds are lowish at the moment even that trip has been postponed.  So I suspect Mat your spare Alfettas are safe for the moment and will have to continue to converse across the gap.   

Its an interesting thought there Dehne, I wondering which disease might be worse to be inflicted with, though I am sure the GTV6 ultimately would be perfectly happy being between either Mats or your cars !!! 

Oh, well it is good to know I am on the right track about needing to fulfil the lack of a V6 in my car life.

Mat, thanks very much for the offer mate thats very generous, Im sure it would be a hoot, ill let you know via PM Cheers

Dave I wont bust your chops much more but keep pluggin mate and hopefully youll get the GTV6 one day. Spewing your not gonna make it to Alfesta, who knows you might have found a GTV6 there

A GTV6 nestled between two 90s hey, I guess it could be illustrated in the image below.....
Not that I dont like the look of the 90 but next to a GTV6....................

[dehne]

the one on the left has grown and extra hand

[Paul Gulliver]

Thats not Uncle Dehne's hand lending a bit of extra support is it???

[pep105]

OMG didn't even notice the extra hand !, always tend to look right in the middle where the two cam covers are on that GTV6 mmmmmmm ohh yeah

ahh ok thats enough from me.....

[pep105]

Mat sent you a PM

[Davidm1600]

Crikey I too didn't look that closely at the photo  , wow nice set of cam profiles for sure 

[OzMidnight]

The 90 on left is obviously having some high-lift cams installed.

[Neil Choi]

Methinksitisherownhandifonelookmorecarefully

[pep105]

yeah she decided to install them herself 

[Frank Musco]

Thanks for clearing that up for me Pep,

Spent many years trying to work this one out. Obviously time to trade the 90 in.

Go the GTV6!
