Alfa Spotting
The Speedster on I-680 south was my wife. Now I know how she drives my car when alone. She drives it like it should be driven.
Happy spotting guys, and gals.

Alfa Spotting
Last night at about 9pm on 680S in San Ramon, CA. I saw a black Milano being towed on a trailer by a white GMC Yukon. Slowed down to check it out and it seems it had a little tiff with something solid and lost the battle. Had some damage near the passenger side front tire.
I did the Alfa salute, am not sure the driver heard or saw me as he had tinted windows on his truck.
Its always a thrill to see another ALFA, especially if you are driving yours.

Not an Alfa, but worth mentioning. And note the Fiat Spider behind the white van parked off to the side. That made three Italian cars on one block.

Be warned though, Alfas can have a strange effect on owners; ‘Alfaholic’ a recognised condition among car enthusiasts

Work at NASA Ames Research Center for the past 3 years and never came across this until today. It is in excellent condition. Hopefully the owner is here on alfabb.com.

Didn't get a picture, but saw a Milano Gold headed south on 395 this morning between Carson City and Minden, had Nevada plates. I passed you and waved from the red WRX.

Saw a dark silver/grey Spider last night at about 5:45pm in traffic on I-680S between Walnut Creek and Alamo CA. I slowed down, blew my horn for the Alfa salute and proceeded in my Red EATS BMW 164S.
Hope he is a member on the board.

I went to look at a Saab 900 that's for sale today and saw this on the way:
Maybe I'll start leaving AlfaBB notes on Alfas I see.. it'd be nice to see more SLC people on the BB.

What a day!
Lots of 164's!
1st pic was about a month ago where out of nowhere an LS shot past me, so I caught up with it on Bernal and then we both took 680 North towards Danville. We got up to about 125 and held for a few miles, we both salluted when we broke off into different journies.
2nd pic(s) are of a red 164S that was in the parkinglot structure by Sears at the stoneridge mall 12/21/2005 @ about 10pm in Pleasanton, Ca. It looked very nice with those wheels and it's tint. It had nice red paint with very few blemishes. I parked right next to it and left a note on it with this website's url and my email address. still no reply 
3rd, no picture, but I saw a black 164S THAT VERY NIGHT on the way home go perpendicular to me on what I believe to be Hopyard in Pleasanton, Ca @ around 10:30 - 11pm. Anyone on here??? There has to be someone out of the three!
What a day  |
