Re: What sort of Alfa cars we want
Excellent idea Garth. :D But you will definatly have to go for the front mounted gearbox option on a 3.7 turbo. :twisted: I think we need to all be hired to drive Alfa's future product line up.....between us we would make TVR look like a company that was run by little old ladies... :lol: I am 1.86m ...

My latest thinking leads me to wanting a GTV6 with a 24v,3.4 litre single turbo configuration... 8) Must say I absolutely love the 8C,hell I even have a 1:18 scale model,in black sitting on top of the TV in my bedroom. :lol: Girlfriend thinks I am long gone past any kind of medical help when it come...

Re: 164 pro model
Definatly one for the collection mjr. Man,that Procar 164 would have made the ultimate sleeper car for the road.My brother and I have often laughed at the idea of pulling up to some yuppie in his lates 'Uber Alles' wank mobile and then pasting him six love with this baby.

Re: Toyota Drivers Suck!
I remember that Topgear episode very well Garth.Bloody hell but Lewsi can pedal a motor car AND still sing while doing it. :shock: Let's just hope Kimi has a much better season but Felipe is really looking like the complete package to me.Looks like Schumi's tutoring has paid off nicely. :D I am look...

Re: Ooops ! Fernandos 3.6 24v..-Barry
Sorry for the late response guys. Yes this happened on my way home one Tuesday afternoon.At first there was only a slightly strange sound from the motor but nothing you would get into a panic about.No vibration through the drivetrain or clutch pedal at all which does sound weird when you look at the...

Timo you flipping chop! :evil: How do blow 18 seconds in one lap AFTER your first sector time was on the money going into the final lap?

Re: 3 liter, 24 valve engine project
Hi Michael, I am a long time user of Kevin's manifolds.Never had an issue with either the one used on my 12V 3.5 from Oom Div or the 3.6 Barry built for me. On my 3 litre Glenwood Group 1 it was a Wildcat system most likely built by Kevins guy. :D Good luck with the rest of your project and may the ...

Alfa GTV6 Magazine Article.
To those South African Alfa owners who might not yet be aware of it,there is a nice article in the latest edition of Speed and Sound featuring Kevins race GTV6 and his one of his 3 litres. :D There is also an article covering two potent Cape Town based Alfa's with 3.7 motors that hand out PK's to BM...
