It was just one of those moments...

that reminds us why we enjoy driving these cars. On the way home from work in my Alfetta GT on this beautiful Fall afternoon, as I launched away in a sweeping left turn from a stop light, I noticed a new BMW Z roadster rowing along beside me, pacing me. I glanced over to see a young man grinning wildly, and alternating his hand between pointing at the Alfetta, and pumping an enthusiastic 'thumbs up'. I laughed and waved back, and then noticed a new Mini in the rear view mirror shifting anxiously back and forth across the two lanes behind us, trying to find a way past us. The three of us darted about in a shifting cluster for about a quarter mile or so until the Mini shot by us when the Z fell in behind me as we slowed to enter a roundabout. The Z followed me as we tossed con brio through the roundabout, then with a "wing waggle" salute of his steering wheel, tucked off into a subdivision, leaving me with only the throaty growl and burble of the Webers. A good drive home indeed.

Alfas do get noticed on the roads by car lovers. I can attest to that.

Alfas have their own charm and growls on the roads. That's why they're called Alfas.

When I noticed my 1st Alfa 30 yrs ago, I was impressed. Had to get 1!! Now I have 8 & drive them all in the summer ex. DA BUS in the winter. I don't drive them to impress anyone I drive em cause I LOVE them. People always notice them and admire Alfas. They are quite unique. There Lines Sound & Profile are impressive. One day a Young Guy walk up to me & asked " How you trick your exhaust ?" I said It came that way from the factory. Another " Is that a BMW?" No It's a Fetta Sedan. for example....... Enjoy!! If you got to drive it mine as well be an Alfa.
