yes by the pictures you can SEE what the car looks like but NOT what it goes like

I think the add notes that it is un registered & unroad worthy. I don't think i'd be taking it for any test drives

Actually you can get a pretty good idea of what its going to drive like as well dehen if you know these cars well enough.

[dehne]

but its only personal opinion not fact of how it drives, ive seen some pretty busted up looking cars but they still drive great. cosmetic looks do not tell you everything, thats what im trying to say here yes it looks bad but it goes well

[bt46]

its not just looking at the cosmetics dehen is looking at the mechanicals........never mind..........

[dehne]

yea but ur still saying looking at the mechanical, not of how it goes

[bt46]

I just got criticised for my spelling, so to satisfy the needy here you go.


Dehen
I'll try and explain, and that will be that.

I have been driving, buying, selling, restoring, repairing, panel beating, joining two cars together, rebuilding engines, transaxles, breaking, crashing, making mistakes, sprinting, hating and loving alfetta gtv's for 20 years. Looking at a few photos, if I was going to come to ballarat, and god help me if i ever need to, and look at purchasing this car I would have a very good indication of what im getting myself into including how this car will most likely drive. I fail to see how that is so hard to understand.

And just to be clear under no circumstances am I claiming to be an alfa expert. I know alfetta extremely well and that is it. I would not claim to be particularly knowledgeable on any other car even though I have also owned and worked on 33's 75's 90's suds 105's and 164.

You own about 500 alfa 90's, surely you could look at a few good pics of a potential prospect and ascertain an educated guess as to what the car will be like in most respects. If you can't - and you are stupid enough like me to spend so much time and money playing with hunks of metal and rubber - in time you will learn.

yeah same goes you cannot seem to understand what im saying either, this car could be the execption to what normaly applies

[bt46]

Yes.

I personally find some of Dehne's views misguided and some of the Choder's posts enlightened. But as much as i may occasionally be annoyed by Dehne's posts I was actually offended by Choder's post telling Dehne to F-O and calling him a F-wit. It was uncalled for. Dehne questioned Choder's opninion and Choder went nuts. Now that is what I call mature. NOT !

Branko, you're right it wasn't the most mature manner in which to respond to someone saying your opinion is useless, how do you normally handle it ? ...

choder
have you personaly inspected this car, mmm NO so you need to keep ur useless opinion to ur self until such time as you have first hand experince with this particular car, the engine in it is really strong and runs great, and turbo is good also,
so as i said if you do not know the car personaly keep it to urself 

But, considering Dehne is making some seemingly baseless assertion in that the vehicle COULD be a good prospect for someone to buy...

yeah same goes you cannot seem to understand what im saying either, this car could be the execption to what normaly applies

Please children, put yourself in someone else shoes before you start shooting off with your vigorous typing.

Suggest everyone take a deep breath and walk away from this thread, let it die and stop causing an uncharacteristically unpleasant scene.

Peace, love, and Cuore Sportivo.
