I'm off to Newcastle at the weekend for a three day jolly. Anybody out and
about who sees a Red Alfa 166 - give us a wave.

Have tried this in my locality with other Alfa drivers (North Wales), but
get no response - must think I'm a nutter? Either that, or they don't
appreciate the car they're driving.

Used to get loads in the 155 - must be the change in car?????

Cheers

I flashed a 166 driver yesterday & got a friendly flash back. Funny thing
was it was on foreign plates & the reason I flashed was its headlights were
either on main beam or not adjusted for driving on the left :-)

I used to exchange waves when in older Alfas & even got some when in 164s,
but Alfas are so commonplace now there doesn't seem much point.

I wave / flash but rarely get a reply, whatever car I'm driving :(

I get waves all the time from other GTV/spider drivers.

One chap in a grey GTV has started not responding now so i assume he's
bored of the game but here in Berkshire there are a lot so its a common
place ting for me. ok nto as common as any other cars but there are
those of us on gtvv6.com that think Bracknell is pretty much the GTV
capital of the UK.

I drive a Spider tho. Similar enough for waves and when i get the hard
top on its practically a gtv ;)
