That's a sharp ride bro.... no doubt.

**BOUNCER** · 04-17-2005, 05:02 PM

Thanks guys, just for the occasion I put up an Alfa Romeo avatar

I've never been bothered with car's, usual little family run about's normally. Felt like a chance of pace with this one.

Who asked about the specs?;

Performance

0 to 62 mph (secs) 8.3
Engine Power - BHP 175
Engine Power - KW 129
Engine Power - PS False
Engine Power - RPM 4000
Engine Torque - LBS.FT 284
Engine Torque - MKG 39
Engine Torque - NM 385
Engine Torque - RPM 2000
Top Speed 140

If that means a bucket of sh*t to anyone!. Doesn't to me!.

**BARLOW** · 04-17-2005, 05:05 PM

Yes, the same colour. To take a screeen print;

Hold down Ctrl and press 'Print Screen' (upper right)
Now go to 'paint' and click on 'paste', then 'save as'.

Actually I'm not getting a red one. I know everyone thinks if your getting an Alfa it should be red. But I've had too many problems with red fading to pink on previous cars. I couldn't get it in metallic red os I went with the colour you see on my desktop photo.

**bor** · 04-18-2005, 04:35 AM

Very nice bro, the car sounds real good and its very fun to drive, plus you'll be suprised how good it drives and handles, also the interior is very nice, did you get the BOSE sound system?

Hmm why is that? Our cars never fade in color. Maybe its the weather or cheap paintjob?

Its a nice color and abit original hehe, i only see red alfa's here. Have fun driving it, they handle well i hear.

**CAUSASIAN** · 04-18-2005, 10:36 AM

I never knew Alfa Romeo looks that good, but that car looks good.

**Johnny Boy** · 04-18-2005, 12:22 PM

Beautiful car bro. Congrats. I wish we had more european options over here, like the alphas, citroens, renaults, etc. Make things a lot more interesting.

**3Vandoo** · 04-18-2005, 03:31 PM

So when do we race, my tunned Yugo is ready!

**Frank Sepe** · 04-18-2005, 03:37 PM

Personally I stay clear of all Italian cars except the '97 550 I had. Ferraris are great. Never liked Lambo's though- my 911 Turbo as much more fun to drive.

remember to change the plates for the gettaway driving

**Sta11ion** · 04-19-2005, 11:36 AM

Last year I was driving around in Alfa 156 Gt 3.2 V6 24V in Italy. Nice car looks very sweet. For the money in Itlay that car was around $27000 euro, I dont know what its in the us but if its around $32000 Us its not a bad buy. I live in toronto has Alfa romeo started selling again in the us? If so there are quite of bit of nice cars that will hopefully take the limelight off BMW. The company has a turn around in quality hopefully that would change the perspective view of consumers and people will give it a second chance. Congrat's on the car.

**Lobsterman** · 04-21-2005, 03:40 PM

BMW 850 awesome car !!! That's why I bought it but unfortunate for me I got a DUI Saturday night so I won't be driving it again anytime soon.Anyway's good luck man

**IronFreakX** · 04-21-2005, 03:46 PM

that car is so ****ing popular here people would kill for a car like that its ****ing good
congrats

**BOUNCER** · 04-21-2005, 04:36 PM

Thanks guys, bad photo but here's the front end. I love the 'Alfa Romeo' badge all over it!.

Bulldog, what part of N.I. are you?. I'll be up there sometime next week.
