Hi All,

I've just purchased a 1989 Alfa 75 2.5 V6 (Auto - YAY! No shift linkage issues) and am very keep to meet up with other like-minded Alfisti.



The car is in pretty good shape, but suffers from the usual Alfaisms like engine oil leaks, a stuck sunroof and slightly faded paint on the bonnet, roof and bootlid.

If anyone has a good Alfa mechanic they'd like to recommend that can do the job for a reasonable price I'd me very grateful indeed!

Many thanks,
Andrew..

SA would be my guess. Do I get a chocolate fish?

John,

I live in Melbourne. The car was purchased in SA and driven back to Melbourne *almost* trouble-free except for the exploding sunroof. But that's just part of the fun =)

The car will be worked on for the next few months in preparation for registration in VIC and hopefully will become a very nice weekender.

Almost correct Brad. But I live in Melbourne! The car is from SA.

I note that you have 2 (!!!) GTAs. You definately "are hairy... like animal" =)

Doesn't count, they're front-wheel-drive.

I'll be back in NZ at the end of the year Brad, remind me and I'll get you a chocolate fish.  I think I still owe a couple to people on this forum...
