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 ;D
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!

Mystery solved. The proud owner of that white 75 is "waheke27" :)
I also pass a red (116 series) GTV6 along Blackburn Rd, parked on the nature strip?? Big hello!
Lol Blue gtv and black gtv??
Whitehorse road?? :D
The black GTV was mine, and the Blue gtv is a mates. V6 3.0 :D .. drive around the area all the time now ..
both have quad pipes now as well ... the sound is amazing:D
Fancy seeing a thread like this!
You'll prob see me driving around (Red 116 gtv) as I live and work in the area!
The red gtv on blackburn road is a friend of a friend, name's Dino. Although I haven't seen him in quite awhile..
Anyway...hello fellow manninghammers!

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.
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!
Let's not forget the 90 that lives on Springvale Rd, just past the train line, reg ALF 250. Nice rims!
gee, good to see how Alfisti when they see each other beep and talk:P .. they all know each other two! .. i suppose we cant complain .. it makes owning an alfa so much better.. and i use to live in donvale so i saw the Red GTV on blackburn road all the time! haha
and the 90 .. im pretty sure ive seen it at KFC nunawading lol !.. Older italian guy i assume lol... just by the looks!
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?
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?
lol 932? or 916? lol ... i have a 1998 black gtv after market exhaust extremely loud .. red small visconti decal on the side near the front wheels ... and dark black tint! and what day was it im in that area a fair bit lol ..
and if it was this weekend .. i only had one xenon:( .. and even me at the fact:P
hahahah it may have been a 916 series. I was in the opposite direction so it was a quite glance. And yes it had one xenon on. hahahaha nice ride mate.
Lmao yes, was me then haha! ... got my new globes today :D
and thanks .. also feel sorry for the damage of the 156! ..not a nice feeling .. first day i got my gtv i backed it into a pillar at night .. ! :( scratched the rear bumper .. although it felt like i had broken the whole thing although it was as bad as it felt!
decided what path you are gonna go down?

Probably insurance. I called Paul Rankin from Rankins restorations that was recommended to me by Bruno from Maranello, but he said that AAMI never choose him, and it'll be tough. I'll get a quote tomorrow. Im expecting into the 000's. :(
How the xenons on ur ride man? Better than standard? Did u need a conversion kit?
yes much better and if your dont have projector you get even better light ... but blind everyone! ..
Also I'd do insurance do remember you have to sign for the job when its finished..
and if your looking at buying HID's dont go to autobahn and spend 500 dollars ... Go to www.ebay.com.au and search (Your globe type) HID kit 55w! .. great add on ! .. anywhere from $30 - $100 and some of them u get warranty but at the price i wouldn't bother ... and take 15 minutes to install all of it.. all it is your original loom the connects into the ballast which produces 40,000 volts and straight to the globe... very simple although mine blew for the first time .. yet i had them in my GTV6 for 2 years and not a problem.. it only blew because i went over some road works and didn't see a ditch and it must of cracked the globe the gas was released. other wise they last years...
