Hello! to Nunawading and Doncaster, VIC - Alfa Owners

tanakt · July 23, 2011, 12:31:48 PM

Hi there,

Passed a Landrover Discovery with *white* Alfa 75 on trailer in Doncaster. PM me as I'd like to chat with you about your car/project.

Then passed two Alfa GTVs (one blue and other

) along Whitehorse Rd coming out of Supercheap. Big "hello" to your both!

Cheers,
Andrew..

I can shed a little bit of light of that one.

I bought a set of Alfa 75 alloys on ebay, the same seller sold a white 75 V6 for $700 to a gentleman driving a Discovery.
I had a quick word with the new owner, he was an older bloke with a bit of time on his hands, plans to get the car roadworthy and use it to commute to the train station (rather than park his XJS there).

I am the new owner of a set of 3 x 6.5'' x 14 alloys and 1 x 5.5'' alloy. Might take me a while to find the missing 6.5''.
Anyone need 1 5.5

Cheers
Alan

Thanks Alan, very interesting indeed when you consider we were all strangers until this point

I hope to see more 75s on the road orat club events soon!

Hi turboalfa!

Good to hear back from you =) I haven't officially joined the AROCA as yet, but I do look forward to doing so and going along to the many events on offer. Hope to meet you guys there as well.

Hi Alfalfa (great name),

Sometimes its just nice to know that there are other people in the area who share the same passion (put a coin in the Italian Car Cliche Jar)...

Hope to see you at a gathering sometime soon.

Matt_GTV6 · August 20, 2011, 06:50:24 PM

That was me in the Blue gtv6

@Alfaalfa, I see the one on blackburn road all the time, and also another red one occasionally, maybe that is you? haha

I also spot an old silver gtv on the eastern freeway at least once or twice a week!

Repco Lad · August 25, 2011, 10:39:03 PM

tanakt · September 10, 2011, 04:32:03 PM

Guys, I also saw a champagne 75 on a trailer towed by a blue Falcon. Geez the 75 had the biggest GT wing ever

The whole outfit was headed south on Manningham Rd on Friday arvo.

Anyone?

orgigeorgie · September 12, 2011, 09:51:50 PM

Hey guys. Long time stalker on here, first time poster. Normally on the ausalfa forum

Anyway if you see my silver 156 in the nunawading area give me a yell. I'm always beeping at other alfa's, but most a driven by women and get nothing in return. It's right near the vet on canterbury road (near Brentford sq) who owns a lovely 159 Ti.

Shouldn't be hard to miss. It has a huge dint in the back now

I saw a mint black GTV (932 series), lowered with xenon lights and a aftermarket exhaust cruising up Springvale to the middleborough intersection. Anyone here?
