Yes they did .
None of the doors would open...
He crashed into my rear left door .
I was turning left . He came from the same way i did .
Who saw said that my car lifted in the air .
My car stoped against a wall ( back damage ), almost 30m away from the crash site... _________________ Carpe diem!!

Hi,
Thank God you came alive from that mess ... People doing such things throw away all your personal work and effort within seconds ... they don't count the trouble that do to others.
Last month it happened to be out of home with the car and when came back late at night I saw a Golf having crashed outside my home two neighbour cars and throw them away in the other block's corner.
Golf cluster had frozen in 4500rpms and 85 km/h speed ... and all these in a quiet suburban street.
Maybe we should drive the car in our garage ... _________________ Thanassis Gritsopoulos

You bet!!
I just bought an Imola to replace this one .
( cars we can replace )
I need to repair the alloys, they're all broken inside, but they will fit this one too!!!

Always sad to see the crashed Alfa 33's, we see so many on this forum it scares me - thank god you only suffered a broken rib.
About the wheels, maybe it is best to find a new set, as I don't know how safe the old ones will be? |

There are many companys here specialized in rebuilding and restauring alloys .
They've been doing it for much much years now .
They make a good job and the wheels came as solid as before . _________________ Carpe diem!!
