Our Alfas

[charlee 314]

Here's my ex 166. It was a 3.0 V6 with the Zender kit and original Brera 18" wheels. Sold it a couple of years ago.

[Alfa_gtv 4]

One of the best looking 166 I've seen

[charlee 314]

Yes, it was nice when I owned it.

[charlee 314]

Here are some more pics of my 166

[charlee 314]

And this is my ex 155. Loved that car

[Paso 239]

That 166 was my favorite! I see the car in Rijeka from time to time, now it needs a new paintjob though...

[charlee 314]

I miss the sound of it... The roar was unbelievable

[Thanos 193]

I love the 166.

One of the best berlina Alfa Romeo ever made.

So it was yours, Charlee, that 166.. It was posted on our local Alfa forum and I always admired it, especially the wheels!

What's the name of that colour? It's pretty rare.

[ToxyMaTT 49]

It's Platino Grey

I loved this color !!

[Paso 239]

Yesterday I have bought 156 1.9JTD Sportwagon for my wife:

That's third Alfa in our family now!

[ALXege 75]

Paso sugested I post some pics of my new Brera, so here it goes:

[Paso 239]

Mmmmm nice! How does it feel after nimble GTV?

[Paso 239]

And here is my wheels upgrade on my 156 daily driver..

[ToxyMaTT 49]

My new daily is at home.
I'll still stay alfisti : it's a 146 1.6L TS
After a big exterior and interior washing, here's a couple of pics :

Alxege, your Brera is stuning !

[ALXege 75]

Thanks Toxy, I really like your 146 too, so clean!

 

Paso: it feels more modern, more solid, better built, but alot heavier. Even if it's alot faster (should be around 250HP/600NM now, it's been remaped with DPF off), it's more of a cruiser than a sports car.

[charlee 314]

I personally didn't like the drivability of the Brera and the Spider. I've driven the remapped diesels and the V6.

[ALXege 75]

Depends on what you understand by drivebility. If you mean cornering/braking, it certainly feels heavy and probably slow, although it's not (slow, because heavy surely is). We once compared a moded 156 GTA and a remapped Brera (both on coilovers) on a twisted road and they were doing about same speed in corners and straight lines. But I agree, as I said, the Brera is more of cruiser than a sports car.

[Joris 136]

Wow youre 146 looks like brand new! nice car.

(Gtv is still there i hope?)

 

I never driven the Brera/Spider, my girl want a black Spider after this but because of the weight i don't get that enthousiast...

Maybe when i can offort one i will go make test drive   

[ToxyMaTT 49]

Yes my GTV is still at home ...

But it's in a good way with an Alfisti that I know, he already owns a GTV 116 2.5 V6, and his father drives a 75 3.0 V6 !

So If I sell it to him, it will be cherished as well as with me!

[Paso 239]

Toxy this 146 seems immaculate!

The GTA is an absolute disaster. You have to fight with that car to drive it If the Brera was remapped it's no wonder, considering the amount of torque it has...
