Wow, I just saw the 8C in the new Forza Motorsport 3 video game commercial. Looks like it might actually be in the game.

Petaluma CA

Red S1 Spider with top down westbound on D Street crossing 1st Street in downtown Petaluma about 4:30 yesterday afternoon. My red GTV6 was parked half a block away and I was on the sidewalk so of course mine wasn't seen by the other driver...

Grey Milano, parked on 20th St.
White series 3 spider driving on 17th St.
Red series 3 spider further down on 17th.

S3 Spider in Novato CA

Black S3 Spider in the parking lot at the new shopping center at the old Hamilton Field. I left an introductory note about the BB on the seat.

I posted elsewhere about this one, but there was a white Giulia TI this morning at 24th & Mission, in addition to the grey Milano I saw on Junipero Serra in Daly City yesterday, and a silver rubber-bumper spider (plate: NYNERS) at Cortland & Bennington.

If Alfa is not coming back to the whole country, they could at least come back to California... obviously there are enough suckers here to receive them with open arms

I see that car EVERYWHERE!! I think he's more a Niner's fan than an Alfa Fan. I've commuted home with him on the Bay Bridge several times and even gave him a thumbs up from my Alfetta - but the usual look of confusion on a Spider owner's face ensued. I usual don't bother with Spider owners because of this - but I see him so often, I felt stupid not acknowledging him...

I drive by a house on Fell street often that has a white Giulia TI (or Super?) and faded red Berlina parked side-by-side in the driveway. Never seen either car at any local events though...

The TI was in nice shape (although the T in the badge had jumped ship), had black wheels with hubcaps, and a license starting with 2HSS or 2RSS or something like that...

On Friday Oct 23, A very nice red 164S parked on Albermarle in NW Washington DC.

I think I saw the same car traveling south on Connecticut Ave in DC/Chevy Chase the following Monday.

A very well kept car indeed!

I'm in NW DC and cut across Albermarle regularly; this same person also has an S3 Spider often parked in the adjacent driveway. (I guess it's POSSIBLE it's two different owners, but I doubt it!)

While running around LA doing car stuff with bb member "manuelalfaholic" we spotted this white Giulia Super on the 134 freeway. Neither of us have seen this car before. It looked to be unrestored, probably still being used as a daily driver.

Hey Anthony

Same model?? But this one is parked on the main road in Naoussa, Paros one of the islands of the Greece Cyclades . Spotted it last summer. Like to meet the owner.

Nice ride.

Today, while driving between Sonoma and Petaluma around 300p I decided to pass some slow pokes and when I jumped into line low and behold right in front of me a 164L. Dont think she noticed there was an Alfa behind her, or maybe she forgot what car she was in, because there was no wave...
