@craig_m67 - Nothing a push start can't fix.

I guess I could always bring sooty and look at all the classics, it'd be nice to put some faces to names after all :)

It's bolting it all back together again that I really only want to do once as there is very little room under the carbs etc on a 1600. Makes the 2000 look spacious by comparison  :)

Craig, what model Alfa did you drive on that Hervey Bay trip? That's seriously good economy.

156 1.9JTD Sportwagon.

It's not typical economy, we were effectively hypermiling due to roadwork speed limits and a zero pt license :o  Got a good run though and only had to stop once.  It normally gets between 4-5 for speedy freeway trips or 6 for healthy burst around town.

Yeah, that Series 2 2600 was lovely.
I need to find out where the rear speaker grilles came from...

I got there a little late and was relegated to one of the back car parks.
Next one lines up with Easter Saturday.
Title: Alfa 2600 Speaker grills
Post by: qldgtv on March 10, 2015, 09:37:53 PM
I believe they came from Koenigs in Germany along with the Becker Europa Stereo Radio and speakers. https://www.koenigs-klassik-radios.de/en/loudspeaker/universal-loudspeaker-cover-angular-12x16-cms-grill3/a-31127/

Be aware this set up only plays 60's and 70's music though. http://www.alfaclubvic.org.au/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif

Lol.
I've got a mono FM Becker in the dash - been hanging off putting a speaker on it because I lost my old grille, and haven't been able to find a new one that I like.

Post by: LaStregaNera on November 03, 2015, 11:52:48 AM
And again this saturday morning - It's been absolutely huge the last couple of months, slowly getting more alfas show up, but there's always 10x more Fiats arrive...
Title: Re: Cars and Coffee - 1st Satuyrday of the month
Post by: Cupcake on December 08, 2015, 07:43:55 AM
I went last Saturday. Fantastic turnout, and a great range of cars. I had to park a kilometre away, so I might as well have brought the Prado. It's certainly outgrown that location, but I got a good walk out of that.

I arrived at the scheduled start time, hence the reason for parking so far away. As I was turning into the 'main drag', a red 105 GTV was leaving, and I never saw it again. Didn't recognise the driver, but that's not saying a lot. Apart from mine, the only other Alfa I saw was a white Giulia Ti (the boxy ones). I'm sure I've seen it around the club, but again I can't place the owner. The Fiat club were organised, and provided a good selection. Maybe we should do the same sometime.

The feast of Lambos, Mazzas, Fezzas, etc was worth the effort of going alone, let alone all the ye olde American iron, rice burners, and other interesting cars. For my money they could do without all the Camaros, Mustangs, BMWs, etc, which seemed a dime a dozen, and just stick to the more interesting cars. But of course, there is no way of achieving that.

Pretty good turnout for the Alfa contingent on Saturday. I got there a little late, but there was at least:
Giulietta Sprint
Freccia D'Oro
1750(?) Berlina
2l 105 GTV with a Twinspark
Stepnose GTV with a Nissan motor (SR20? only saw the sump and the nissan badge on the back)
and my 66 GTV
