She looks fantastic, what color is that and I was going to ask the same exact question as da fonz...which one's quicker!

Wow that looks fantastic! Congrats Chip!

Thanks for all the comments!

To answer a few questions:

Of course the Alfa sounds better! The S2000 has an evil sound at 9000rpm too, but nowhere near as sweet as the 24v V6.

I'm pretty happy that the car is equal to the S2000 in a race from a roll, the S2000 is no slouch. 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. I'm betting the Milano is a tiny bit quicker if we raced from a stop, but I don't like abusing donuts, clutch, etc.

The color is a quality respray of the original color. The color code is missing from the trunk though, so I'm not sure exactly what it is. The car is originally a Platinum, but the color is darker than the other blue Plat that is driving around SD. Anybody have a list of Milano color codes?

Nizam, you should have badges going all the way across the back of your car... "Alfa Romeo Milano 75 3.0L V6 24v Super Q"

Chip, great car! Any offers on the weathered arborial fixer-upper shown in a couple of the pictures? Looks like it has potential with a fine veiw; perfect California starter home!

[Alfa Girl :-)]

LOL!!! Good one!!! Yes, it is the only affordable home in California. It's got great views, and it's quiet with rustic charm. Anyone interested? That's my little brother's tree house

thats one of my ideas nizam, find a milano over winter and pick it up in march (or get it shipped here in winter) if i do that ill find a verde or just a real good bodied car.

How much do those 11lb wheels go for?
i may have the same colour of car as yours, the darker blue that people mistaken for black, ill check the colour for you tomorrow if you want.

quite the expensive set of wheels, but they look good...and weigh next to nothing.
Did you find out your cars colour yet?

I switched my Milano from 14" gold wheels (~16 lbs)to 15" campys GTV6 wheels (~11 lbs) and the difference in how it drove was VERY noticable. The quality of the ride was much better and the car felt much nicer. The 14's had nice soft Blizzacs that I thought would 'ride nice' and the 15's had an almost worn out set of P4000's. I had driven another Milano with GTV6 campy and thought it felt 'different' in a nice way. There are some nice looking wheels out there but many are very heavy. Light wheels really help these cars a lot.

Wow! Looks great!

You should get the fender flares to match the sill/rocker cover though, or switch to the "narrow" sills. Too bad about the roof hatch too, but I guess your not as "length impaired" as I am, weight is a b***h though.


HEY! I pity all you fools saying that is a euro-look with those stupid wheels... Swiss or maybe British but the ones having them are only silly boy-racers and are a total laughing stock.
The rest of us are all about stylish performance, exactly like on the 24v.

I vote for the original look. I think the car is perfect and love the wheels. Great purchase bro. Now if only there was one like that in this area. Oh yeah, there is, but La Voche won't sell it anytime soon, lol.
