Pictures of Alfa @ School!

Well, Let's see if this picks up. Here is my Alfa at school. Yes, it's the only one in the parking lot. Even when it's full, it's STILL the only Alfa in the lot.

No, that is not my rubbish in front of the car and yes, that's my backpack in the distance

Anyone have a picture of their Alfa at school? I guess this mostly applies to the younger crowd, but it you old folk have pictures of your Alfa at school "back in the day", please scan them, THEN post'em

No pics, but I was the only alfa at my high school. That was a long time ago...now I'm sort of in between the younger crowd and the not younger crowd.

I was the only one with an Alfa at my high school too, but not the only Italian car. A friend of mine used to drive his dad's 1969 Ferrari 365 GTC everyday A couple weeks ago at the SEMA show someone came upto me and said "You're the guy who had the Alfa at Crespi High School, right?" People never forget an Alfa! BTW, your backpack looks too full.

Hello "elite"

nice idea; sorry I have no pictures and I was the only one with an Alfa at my high school too.
I used to drive there with a GT 2000 Veloce or a 75 T.S. Limited Edition: I had to show what Alfa Romeo was.


Compliments, 164 S is still a great car (newer headlight are a great improvement!)

Regards

Giovanni

I had the only Alfa in high school. I became known as 'the kid with the eye-talian car' or 'the kid with that little import car'. It was the only Italian car in the lot, although somebody dropped off their daughter in a Fiat Spider 1800. Also worth mentioning, some kid drove his dad's MG-B every now and then. That was all last year.

This year, I saw this one at SLCC:


I talked to the guy for a few, he didn't seem very interested in Alfas, or in talking.. I haven't seen it since. I actually haven't seen a running Alfa, other then my own, in a long time.

It's frustrating to see an alfa owner who doesn't seem to have any particular passion for the car. Then again maybe he was just wary of a stranger.

Asside from a beat up Milano (tear), my '69 getto-metalic-maroon euro spec GTV was the only alfa. It was also the only classic at the time, as it had replaced my 67 volvo waggon.

I was 'that guy.'

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

I was one of six kids at my highschool to have a car. Obviously the alfa stood out like a sore thumb. At that time my mother had a 164, so everyone thought we were in the mafia. A couple of jeresey guineas with some alfas... where do these sterotypes come from?

I have the oldest car out of the students. I don't park in the student lot either. I park behind the science building with a corner spot. No one parts next to me, and if anyone does it is always the IT guy who has a very nice RSX and knows all about parking.
