Been driving around Brisbane yesterday and this morning - all I've seen is three 147s. Where are all the Alfas? I usually see a heap in Melbourne in a day - particularly 159s recently.
That is a pretty poor showing. A lot of the classics seem to congregate around the Indooroopilly?Sherwood?Oxley area I've noticed. I saw a 156, 159 Sportswagon and a newish charcoal GT on the way in this morning. I work in West End and see quite a few just on my lunch breaks. Maybe the rain scared them away? ;D
On a recent trip to Egypt I saw only one Alfa in the three weeks we were there,a very beaten sud with re-engineered bumpers off god only knows what.
Ok my arvie update after going out at lunch , I saw an orange montreal, at least 4 105/115 spiders, a couple of alfettas...
Mind you they were in the shop window at Albion, Chris Lucas's resto place. Ya just gotta know where to look :P

Nice collection Derek. 66 Super and a stepnose coupe. Would love to see some pics on another thread.

I remeber Kate saying that it was rare seeing Alfa's in Brisvegas. You still get the Alfa wave when you spot another on the road :o
Saw a couple of 159s this arvo so all is well. I wouldn't bring a classic alfa out at the moment.. There appears to be water falling from the sky. My grandfather told me that happened once in victoria!

Yes I should do that. Not much to see at the moment, as most of my coupe is on shelves and the Super is a bit naked without doors, bonnet and boot off to the soda blasters, engine at the mechanic for rebuild etc. Maybe I'll put up some before pics so that I can update with the after pics hopefully soon.
Your in the wrong place Evan.
Been down to Phillip Island Historics today and there are 22 Alfas entered in a total field of about 450.
Some Brisbanites even made the trip. Group S is getting popular so get on board. :)
Well yesterday there were 9 of them doing the day run I had set going through the countryside and ending up at Maroochydore. It was a perfect day for it too.
