Spotted in North Dallas on Knoll Trail about 2:30 today... a blue/tan Series 3 Spider Veloce IDENTICAL to mine. It was too late to turn around to follow you...

And then, later, in an Addison neighborhood, a black Spider Graduate with a tan roof and black wheels.

Anyone here?

GTV on I-5

Finally! We've made 18 round trips between Washington State and California in the past two years, all on Interstate 5. Friday, March 21, we saw a white GTV heading north as we were going south. We were on the outskirts of Yreka.

We weren't in an Alfa ourselves, but our Jeep Liberty has an Italian diesel engine by VM Motori ... and, of course, we have a Scuderia Non Originale sticker on the back window.

GTV racecar

Grey 71-74 GTV with race numbers on a trailer towed by a black p/u driving down Fletcher Ave. in South Pasadena. I was walking a dog and waved at you.

Same here in So. Florida, but even worse! I've been down here for almost 5 years & I've seen a yellow S4(more than a year ago)---and that's been it!!! I have attended a couple of different Alfa Club dealies, but aside from seeing plenty of Alfas at those I thought maybe(except for mine) SoFlo was 'Alfa-Less'.....

Regards

Move out west - they're everywhere! Friday I saw an orange Montreal driving on the freeway in the East Bay!

Dark blue early '70s GTV, usually seen traveling north on the 101 through Santa Barbara early mornings.

I was in the GTV6 Thursday when I spotted him last. Gave a honk and a wave but don't know if he saw me.

I was southbound on I-5 in Yreka with my newly aqquired Super parts car on the trailer at about 4PM on the March 21st. I stayed the night in Redding. A red Spider went flying past me Friday morning with his top down between Woodland and Sacramento, but the guy must have had tunnel vision (I saw him coming in my mirror) as he didn't honk or wave, and I wasn't going to be able to catch him (I was already going faster than I should have been with a trailer), how hard was it to miss a red Super on an open trailer.

It's the DD, a turbocharged and intercooled Volvo 740 sedan.

Thanks Don. I'm getting old & barely know the 'titles' of any of cars these days! Looks like you've had the Volvo awhile---displaying a "2" California plate---didn't think any of 'those' were still on the road!

Regards.

Alfa in SW Atlanta 03.24.08

A buddy of mine in Atlanta called me today pretty excited about seeing a black GT or GTV in the Camp Creek-area of SW Atlanta with state-issued Alfa Club tags; gotta be someone on here...?

I saw someone in either a silver Super Ti or a Berlina just north of Sears Point on Friday afternoon about 4ish. I was in the loud grey and black Datsun roadster heading out to the track.
