Hi my name is Kathrynna from BALLARAT, I'm .19 years old an i own an Alfa SPRINT 1987.
I love my car its different an loud! I think the Sprint is better then the GTV even tho there is more GTV's around i still think the sprint is much better!
I soooo.... would love to meet more people witht the same car as mine!!! Coz mine is the only Sprint in Ballarat!
But bloody hell my car sucks the fuel down!!!! an with petrol prices going up and me being a Uni student without a job its pretty hard to enjoy a decent cruise in it :(
I hope to be able to join this club! But i dont have the cash on me atm... Soon as i can afford it i will be joining!!!
Well iI hope to get to kno more people in this that are ALfa Romeo lovers... there pretty awesome cars!!!
TTFN!

Welcome Kathrynna,
Thats a nice looking "baby" GTV you have there, it's always good to see these older Alfa's running. I know what you mean about being a broke uni student, plus my daily driver (1984 Mazda 626) is pretty bad on fuel aswell with the way I drive it.
Its actually a straight SPRINT not a GTV i dont like GTV's much... mine much better
i honestly prefer the bigger and what i call better GTV, or even better, the GTV6
Nooooo.... Mine much better coz its mine!
AND!
Coz it has RALLYKATTY on the back coz thats my nickname...
I race with the Ballarat Light Car Club!
As I always say... "Its the driver, Not the car"
And a wise man told me once:- 'To be a good driver we have to adjust to suit the faults the car might have, and overcome the faults in a way to make the car perform better....'
I know it's a sprint but I call them baby GTVs because that's what they look like, a smaller GTV.
Is it any quicker than your little green Honda around the track?
Ha ha! U be surprised on what that Honda can do!
The Alfa is a bit worn out now! needs its head done i rekon! Can still pull a skid tho!!!! ;D
I have tried the Alfa around the track tho... Its bloody better then my corolla handles better anyways!
Ah yes the good old skid, it's what Ballarat teenagers do best, especially down at Big W car park, lol.
Ha ha! what dosen't handle better than the Corolla?
Hope our new baby... looks as good as your sprint when it ids complete... they are great lil cars... except uphill in da rain....grrrr front drive... back to my 1973 2000 GTV...
Someone wanna buy me new seat covers for my car :P contact me if u wanna sponsor $30 to me :D thre on special at Kmart HAHA
i'll sponsor you the $30 - but only if i get to spraypaint my name all over the side of your car :o :o :o
Hey Kathrynna, you should come to Melbourne and check out one of the club activities some day. Check the calendar on this site.
Plenty of Sprint owners in the club. I don't own one but I had the chance to drive a fellow clubmembers Sprint on one of our runs (my Alfa had just been crashed by a dickhead) and I loved it. The handling was so good that it was only rarely that I could tell it was front wheel drive. Great little cars. And beautiful. But that's the essence of the club, I couldn't drive my car, so someone with a spare Alfa lent me theirs for the day.
One Caveat though. Be VERY wary of a fellow Sprint owner by the name of Teruo. You have been warned.
What sort of seat covers?
i'll give you caveat sheldon ;D ;D ;D
Ha ha, I can't believe you posted that 35 seconds before me. I would have been checking my message just before I posted it.
You and me outside NOW. I'll Caveat your arse. Hang on..........

The seat covers are black with just flowers on them.... I need new seat covers coz the pink ones are getting dirty too easy plus that pack on special comes with front seats, back seat (i dont have a cover on it) AND mats for $30 and i dont have $30 :( coz i poor...
Scary a 19 year old in a sprint .... i remember ... only a few years ago a 19yr old in a sud ...a couple of years have passed but the maturity level has not increased, only the number of alfas and how fast they go, and believe me that trend will continue.
Well i must say one thing .... you ARE DOOMED, first comes the sprint, then you'll buy something faster, you never get rid of the sprint, then you buy something else, and still have the other to, you continue to be at uni and then buy something else.
Gee this sounds familiar.
Well u dont know me that well enough peoples he he if u tink i ganna get rid of the Sprint HELL NO!!!
I just ganna upgrade but not get rid of it... I like to collect! I already got 5 cars so yer! The next car aint a Alfa but dont we all wish we cold keep buying Alfa's.... Nahhh...

That woudl be a great trick.
I am sorry if I was somewhat insensitive with my question. I thought that your writing "style" is a matter of misguided choice, but it is quite possible that you actually cannot write English properly.
If you never learned to write English then your writing is a good effort and you should be congratulated! I'll assume that is the case!
A thing that might explain why i might be stupid at english is becoz there something wrong with me...
Its not like i want to tell people but i have brain problems an seeing doctor again after easter I scared but wat can i do?

i just bet he did :o

wow! you travel safe and have fun! make sure that you come back a bigger winner than you already are! ;D ;D
Feeling better about yourself guys? Way to encourage new members to the forum and/or club by the way.
Kathrynna, I see you have a Honda S600, can I ask where you managed to acquire that? They're getting very rare and expensive.
I'll pay for your petrol to get to Melbourne if you bring that and give me a drive!! Always loved those and the S800.
My father handed it down to me. He rebuilt it when i was younger and i used to sit int he back facing out the boot, till i couldnt fit anymore an was hitting my head.
now i drive it but i dont like driving it much because the clutch is almost gone.. and we'd have to get it rebuilt or something because u cant buy new ones anymore...
But appart from that... thats the only thing stopping me from taking it down there coz it might not get there... So sorry... it might only have to be the Sprint that can make it there....
Hmm... That was close! Was going to sell the Sprint but decided not too... I mean like its my first car... Plus if i did would wanna see ut go into good hands...
Nahhh... Spent so much money on the god damm thing its not worth selling it! ITS MY BABY!!!
Kathrynna,
great to know there is someone else out there struggling with the concept of selling their sprint!
I recently did after 4 years and $14k! but i know where it is and that it is being used for what it was built up for... and i have first rights to rebuy it if/when it is sold again.
keep up the enthusiasm and we hope to see you at a club event and hear about your various motorsport activities.
Why not post some pics of your various rides for all to see?
I will gather pics now n post em ok

The honda coupe and the three wheel morgan look pretty cool, but that shot of the scamp looks like it is the most fun.

Hi Kathrynna,
Nice drive at the Mt. Leura Hillclimb. Hopefully we will see you at DECA for the next round.
