    A Tale of Three Alfa's.

    Here are my three Alfa’s having their own bit of a family Alfa day. I just gave them all a wash and so used the opportunity to take a few pics of them which I thought you might like to see.
    It wasn’t the sunniest of days so the pics are a bit on the dull side but still I think they are cool.


    The things I do to show off my Alfa’s – I was stood up in a heap of thorny briars to take this pic.


    Ah – happy faces.


    My 1.3Ti does look the biz when its washed.


    The Sprint also likes its wash – I had left it dirty until the VRT boys had seen it. VRT is a tax you have to pay when you import a car into Ireland - its is decided when they examine your car to see its condition.


    What a fine trio of Alfa asses.


    Alfa’s can beautiful as well as practical.


    A feature I love in cars – what’s it called again? Dunno – I just call it the hockey curve.

    ... ah im not ready to check out yet - here are some more (caught by image limiter.)

    Dashboards to die for – first up my GT


    My Alfasud


    …and my Sprint.


    Those sweet flat fours – spot the differences – not many. The only way I can tell the difference in these pics between the two is that I know there is a red handle on the battery on the Alfasud.



    The GT 1.9JTD is no slouch even though it is a diesel.

    Some nice images of some nice cars there
    Could you upload the images using the UCP attachment system though? That way they won't become dead links in the future. Any chance of any high-res shots?
    Audi humbles Porsche. A new dawn starts today.

    Being nice since 2007.

    Very nice cars. You have good taste. Just don't let your taste end up in rust.

    Congrats.

    Great cars! Alfa's always have that 'special' feeling. It's one of Italy's most underrated brands.

    I wouldn't say it's underrated!

    Cheers, Alfasudcrazy, you're one very, very sick man

    One question though: how do you manage to drive all of them at the same time?

    Those people are not car enthusiasts for sure. Or they just don't know/care to see beyond the Ferrari/Lamborghini stuff.

    That's my point. It's a shame that many people can't think further than Ferrari/Lamborghini...

    Still they're better than those that can't think further than Supra/Skyline.

    I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that the "Cloverleaf" special editions first appeared only on 80's models. So I don't understand what you mean by Cloverleaf GT Junior. There were special "bertone shaped" Alfas like the GTA and such. But I guess none called "Cloverleaf".
