You make it sound more than it was. Weakling.


On what???
Stelvio pass mustn't be that fun in 1st gear...


My father had a 164 2.0 TS for 100.000kms. Not even one cent was spent on anything other than regular servicing.
Our 164 wasn't really reliable.. It was a 2.5 TD though.

And as a last note, you have to be prepared for some dirt under your nails owning an alfa. But you will always have the good feeling that it is worth it
thanks a lot for whole your advice! i'll try to pay a visit to the guy who's selling the car, albeit it's 300 kms away... if i go there, i'll make a new thread for myself thanks again

No(r)way.
So this weekend was the highlight of my Alfa 75 ownership.
The Alfa owners club arranged a winter meeting at a ice test track some 140 km's from my home. This is a track used during drivers education up here, where ice and slippery driving is compulsory when getting your drivers license.

We used the opportunity to go as much sideways as possible of course..
I will inline some and attach the rest of the decent pictures i took.
A friend of mine is driving my 75 on the pictures.

from the first pics I would have sworn that you had a Lada on track too, until I recognised the Berlina
