Hi there fellow Alfisti.

We have about a dozen bookings so far and look forward to a full house.  Last year was a real surprise and we had almost 40 cars, up from the usual 25 or so.

To date we have a interesting spread of late model cars but not many of the older models.

As per usual, a hot lunch provided for all participants.  Also an opportunity to compare the measured performance on the day. 

Cheers.

Up to 20 bookings so far - even a Alfetta V8 (non standard folks) !

[John Hanslow]

Just a few guidelines for the day as the side street has limited parking.

We expect about 40 cars so - to ensure there are minimal delays we will have a few simple rules on the day:
   Please ensure that all vehicles are legally parked at all times.
   As per usual process, vehicles are to be parked along Stirling Crescent ensuring easy access into the workshop.  The Stirling Crescent entrance is our entrance point and the Canterbury Road workshop will be our exit.
   Cars with trailers (e.g. race cars) are to parked in Canterbury Road until required for dyno testing.  Stirling Crescent will be kept clear for all other traffic.
   Once cars are tested, please park in Canterbury Road environs in order for other vehicles to be assembled in the street.

Thanks for organising another great AROCA event - a great variety of cars, not to mention workshops that are an Aladdin's cave of Alfa history...

Hi Chris

Unfortunately as I missed all the action and got there well after all was finished.

What bhp did the GTA gave out, a few years back, a couple of 156 GTA gave out about 200bhp ( I think but can't recall exactly).

Interested, as a comparison.  Too bad I couldn't bring mine.

I watched one GTA. It managed just shy of 200hp

[ChrisGTA]

Hi Neil - the two GTAs were about 197 and 207.
