Alfa Romeo track day - Zwartkops Raceway

For any Alfistis in the general JHB / PTA area...

I'll certainly be there, the last one was awesome :yup:

Mr-M

I am a future Alfisti! ? Currently have a Fiat Panda 100HP, which while an awesome driver's car, isn't an Alfa. If all goes to plan, I'll have a Giulietta 1750TBI some time next year.

I might still go through and have a go in an Arnold Chatz demo car. Just depends on if the band will let me miss a recording session or not. Thanks for posting.

Have you driven it before? It's an absolutely fantastic car ?

Mr-M

Yeah, test drove the Giulietta at Arnold Chatz. As you said, an absolutely fantastic car. It definitely has the grunt and comfort that I'm lacking at the moment, without sacrificing much in terms of handling and road holding. And it looks...well, just look at it!

I also love it in the 8C red:

When it has the panoramic sunroof and turbine rims (as in your pic) it just looks incredible...

My fist car ever was an Alfa Dud , it made a mechanic out of me but it had ooomph for its motor size...the lil ritual of starting the car an waiting for it to warm up etc etc

i must say the guilietta of modern day has me mesmorised ..,i would love one ...... and often go to arnold chatz just to look and chew the cud with the salesppl...one day.......

Alfa's are not suited to the Gauteng wheather - my Berlina got its valves burnt from standing too long in the sun one afternoon in Pretoria.

Actually theyr'e fabulous, and looking as good as ever, just like the Italians' spruce ...

So did anyone go? ?

Mr-M

Nope. I asked the guy at Arnold Chatz about it last Wednesday when I took my car in for a service, but ultimately the band came first. Spent the morning recording guitar parts.
