I'm in love

I had never seen an Alfa 33 Stradale until a photo appeared on the front page of this website. To this moment I've no idea how it escaped me. But it is the most jaw-droppingly stunning car I've ever seen I think!

I now have to figure out how I can ever afford to own one...

If I sold the house, all the cars, the girlfriend, could get a tenner for the cat ....... hmmmmmmmm.

I agree, that is probably the most beautiful piece of automotive art I've seen.

yea, its one of the most gorgeous cars ever built, theres no doubt. its my personal fav. they really should start cloning it, i think itd be lucrative. id buy one thats for sure and im pretty cheap lol. ive been posting random pics of it in various forums for a while now.
heres a flattering pic of it in action

as close as you get to original.
Many REAL Stratos owners buy Hawk body and suspension parts !!!

Hawk Cars is literally a short drive from me ... take a few minutes to get there ... max.

Could you steal one for me? ;)

[LotusLocost]

Or maybe you want to buy an original (http://www.race-cars.com/carsales/other/1092393000/1092393000ss.htm) grup 4?? :D (easy now.. not the AR 33 Stradale but a Stratos :o )

Maybe you have to sell some more of your personal belongings ;)

[greg.harvey]

Hmmmm ... £60,000.

At that, if my dad and I both sold all our cars and remortgaged to the tune of about £18,000 each ... it's possible. We could share it.

Not sure how he'd get to work though. Details ... :( ;)

Wow. That's a beautiful machine. :eek:

New to the boards here, hi everyone! Didn't see a particular place for introducing myself, so I'll do it here. Huge car fan, though I'm stuck driving a several thousand pound paperweight at the moment that's currently collecting bird poop in front of my apartment since it died (again). One of these days I plan to win the lottery and buy myself a GT40, but until then I'm likely going to be a public transportation rider/driver of an infrequently working Volvo. I work for a marketing company, by the way, and every so often some nifty peice of information comes my way that I might be able to share with ya. When I'm not slaving away at a desk I'm watching soccer on TV and occasionally gaming.

Yikes, that reads more like something on a dating site than an introducton. I'm taken, so back off! :D

:p Fair enough. Guess the damage is done though. Sorry to hijack!

I absolutely adore that car. I have to admit, the first time I ever came across one was Sega GT on the Xbox (likewise the Jiotto Caspita, also a very aesthetically pelasing car as it happens), which is a bit embaressing I guess. (It had phenomenal road-holding though)

From a purely aesthetic point of view, it's one of my favourite cars. Probably second only to the E-Type.

[greg.harvey]

Nice second choice!! :D

[Radoman]

Wow, that IS a great looking car! I'm still kinda hung up on the Stratos, though.

[mayfiebl]

That is very nice and yes I too lust for a e type
