Howdy all, probably know a few of you already, even bought a car off Shrew, V6 155, unhappily sold and now on it's third owner since i did...... deffo not Alfa people.
My baby is a lovely skinny 8v 155, so lovely in fact that i bought her 3 times
she will now stay with me for all eternity she is currently on stands on the drive while i sort the tappy engine (2 shims needed) and put a new clutch in and replace the gearbox that i broke luckily i know someone that has one, eh Chris
I have just last week picked up a 146 ti as my daily, pretty sure it has been bumped at some stage but drives spot on and goes well and i love the looks, i need to do the belts and get some front indicators (Chris again, paypal sent yesterday mate)
Did not know this forum existed until a mate Daz told me, looks alright to me.

Hi Wayne, and welcome.
Are you Wayne the plumber? If so I think we've met, you used to (still do?) have a very quick Sud on Jenvey TB's that sounded great. Very impressed with the tractability of what is a very quick car.
Anyway, either way, glad you've found us

That is not me Kev
I did have a famous V6 GTV that ended up parked on top of a dry stone wall and a Skoda fantasy Green with 2 white stripes 155, closest i came to a Sud was a 1.7ie 33 that i drove 3 times and then sold to a man from the south to repair his race car.
