New Spider owner

I just wanted to say hi to all the fellow Spider owners. I am new to the Spider but not to Alfa as I have had many. Too many! Its an 1983 Spider Veloce with 51k org miles in good shape in and out.

See my new baby http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/show...2171post262171

That is a nice looking Spider! Sounds like the A-L-F-A disease (always looking for another) is epidemic...

Welcom to the spider gang. Looks like we have another addict. I hop tour not going to corner the market on spiders too. I put in the 164 hood hinge a couple of weeks ago and now I have to replace the power window regulator. It seems a never ending process with the Alfas but it's. all worth it. Good luck with the spider and happy top down driving.

I will buy as many Alfas as I can 164 Spider Milano GTV etc. I think I want twenty or so!

I have that window regulator if you need it let me know.

Lenard,
Keep on buying them. My wife has set the limit at 4 unfortunatly(it's. a shame too since we live on 4 acres and have a spare barn). I'm. trying to get her to sell the green '91 auto. so that I cann get a manual. Not a lot of luck so far. I should have contacted you first about the regulator but I bought a new one from IAP. With a little luck I will have the silver spider on the road next summer. Thanks for all your help
Conrad

Thanks Len - yep its pretty landscape round there - especially with the roof down !
glad you could access the pics ok - shes running a bit tappety when warm - may be the oil being too synth - its new oil and filter but its 10 x 40 will try the redline or a 10 50 like some of you guys
