Hi fellow friends of the 33.
My real Name is Rick.
I started of with Alfa back in 1997 after having driven 2 Opel Kadetts. My first was a alfa red 1.3 ie 33 ina pretty good condition (i thought) until the steering left me.
Driving past the garage one day I spotted a wonderful alfa red 2.0 TS 155 with the sports bodywork on nice alloys, and I thought - wow that's it. It was a great car (my wife still goes on my nerves me for selling it) until the cambelt gave up just before change interval.
Ok, I thought and bought a silver 2,0 TS 156 which also was very nice and a pleasure to drive. I got some new springs from NOVITEC, but kept everything else original, which gave it a very elegant look. Later I moved a bit further away from my place of work, and as petrol was not getting cheaper, I decided to sell, and bought a nice little grey 1,6 TS 147. This was also a very nice car - but not the Alfa I would dream of (this car will never be a legend). One year later my beautifull wife got pregnant (dont know how that happened ) and once again I had to sell the little car and bought (I'm so a shamed) a 1,8 Lancia Lybra SW. I had so much trouble with this car - it's just unbelievable.
So asI was searching for good 33 in the last few years anyway, I found a 1.7 16V SW last year for 800 Euros and instantly (because they are very rare here) decided to buy - and this is the car I dreamed of. So now I'm pretty happy - although there is lots to be done to it.
That's enough now.
And by the way, I'm not in the IT business. I'm in Industrial sales - selling tons of copperstrip to the whole world - yes even to UK.
Thanks for this great site, and keep it going as long as may be. _________________ Red 94 1.7 16V SW P4 |
