Hello there all

The event is now full.

Neil

I have always said to my wife that if I ever consider a Toyota Corolla or heaven forbid a Camry or a Holden, that she is to smack me hard across the head with a shovel.

Though, I figure there will be a queue of people anyway!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey there

Did anyone notice in the new James Bond movie Quantum of Solace, that the Aston Martin was being chased by a couple of black Alfa 159 in one of the scenes.

Probably old news, but interesting to see Alfas in movies.

Cheers

Neil

Hello Brad

This youtube thingy link might be of interest in regards to ASR.

It is a 147 GTA with ASR on and off.

Hi there all

Just a word of advice, for those coming and drives an Alfa, don't park your Alfa outside, bring it in, more the merrier.  As I ride in along Alexandra Ave each time, I see more Alfa's parked outside than in, go figure, there is ample and free parking available in Spettacolo!!!!!!!

Ahhh, much better now, going to take my medication and start work.

Cheers
Neil

Hello there

Friday afternoon, 40 mins before beer o'clock.

Just a quick word of cheap chemical advice, you can use acetone (bought cheaply at any hardware store) to clean all that gunk off the carburettor.  Carbie cleaner in a spray can is probably acetone mixed up with some detergent and some nice smelling fragrant.
