Should I Be Insulted ?
Should I Be Insulted ?
Had a knock at the door earlier this week and there was a young lad trying to flog me a mail order bride or summat like that- an offer that was easy to resist anyway.
He spent much of the time talking about my GTV6 which was parked on the drive. I was thinking how good it was for a young lad to enthuse about an old Alfa.
Then he went and spoiled it all by saying, " First time I've seen one of these cars from the Back To The Future film. "
Oh well, at least he got the colour vaguely correct.

And the stylist of course - both designed by Giugiaro, although how anyone could mistake a GTV6 for a DeLorean I can't imagine. Perhaps he came from an alternative timeline - let's see...Nige005 wrote:Oh well, at least he got the colour vaguely correct.

Re: Should I Be Insulted ?
It cant be much worse than a gtv being likened to a princess!
If they werent female, I'd have sat them down, pronto!
Just tut, roll eyes, and ignore them for life

Order placed Kev, expecting the birthday girl sometime soon........ !
Actually there are similar style points as you guys have mentioned, even to the Princess, which I never fancied and still don't so have at least one functioning brain cell remaining. I do like the " wedge " type of styling, just one reason why I like the Alfetta, the DeLorean and the Sprint over the 'sud, although I still have what will probably remain an unfulfilled hankering to own another 'sud, a Greencloverleaf naturally !
It wasn't long ago that Kev and I were looking at some DeLoreans at an East Kirkby meet, they attracted a lot of attention and despite the fact that they are probably awful cars in many ways I do like the styling and can see the attraction. Really enjoyed the last episode of " For The Love Of Cars " which featured one of these, smoke 'an all !!! Fascinating story though.

Re: Should I Be Insulted ?
i think the worst (most ignorant) similarities ive ever heard are the GTV compared to a princess of course, and, a Volvo 340 likened to the 33!
