Morning peeps

I'm after feed back on the gt's . Been reading loads on them . And like most Alfas some people have loved them and some have had nightmares :shock: the latter are properly not alfa nuts like us and don't understand the loverly electronics :lol: I think this is the only newish alfa I really want apart from an 8c of course ;)
My aim is, if the loan shark lets me , is the cloverleaf q2 .if I'm going to do it. Do it right 8-)
Colours I would love black to go with the 33! But how does the red hold up these? Ie pink
Any info would be great guys
Cheers johnboy

not owned a GT mate, but may well do soon. had plenty of jtd experience though and mostly good.

colour wise i like black but it's a pain to live with day to day as you prob already know!

i don't think red suits the GT for some reason, odd being an alfa and all. just something doesn't look right :roll: there's one local to me and everytime i see it it looks a bit ill suited for some reason, can't say why :!:

cloverleaf models hold value very well, which i guess is no bad thing, it'll still be worth something in a couple of years time!

other than the lack of rear doors i'd have got one by now, just a pain tilting seats to let the kids in/out.

but lovely cars though, loads of room especially with seats down for bigger loads. wish they'd have made 156 saloon seats fold down, i'd still have them if so

Morning Kev

Yeah agree , the red just doesn't look as good to me too, found two exactly the same bar the colour . But the black one is a grand more :cry: the coupe is no issue for me as no kids!! Plus the boot is basically the same size as the sportwagon so bonus for skiing and putting stuff in!

Is the 156 going then John or are you just adding to the clan?

Black is cool as but I couldn't bring myself to have another as you know what a PITA it is to keep clean. Go silver......

Well it looks like I'm leaning towards a red gt now, over black . But that mite be the fact it's a grand cheaper :lol:

Well the loan has been approved :D :D just got to wait for the money to drop in to my account . Not going to say which gt I've got my eye on, as I don't want to give it the kiss of death and it sells ;)
