I know this is a little off topic but I was curious: what do you folks know about Alfas?
I've always liked the mid-sixties and early seventies Alfas, especially the Guiliettas. Is the cost of ownership similar to a 914? Are they as reliable? Are parts as easy to get? Or at the end of the day would I just have to throw money at these cars to get them to run right? I'm no stranger to throwing some money at my Porsche but my expectation is that Porsche parts/technology is such that if I fix it once it stays fixed (for at least a few decades). What about the Alfas? Here's an example. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...8&category=5356 douglas |

I like alfas but I think they kinda fit more into the british quality level rather than the german level.
If the car is/has been restored it could be better than factory quality. It seemed like everytime that I did something "nice" to the car one or two bad things happened. I quit doing nice things to it and it behaved after that. I like the spider you've shown, though and might consider one when I've got 2 of every porsche (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
