zeitgeist57 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Did anyone watch Top Gear, Episode 3? It was on YouTube last night before they (BBC) had it pulled for copyright infringement. However, they were racing cheap alfa's and I really liked this model. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks___1989-Milano-Verde-3-0-NO-RESERVE_W0QQitemZ330249454985QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q20TrucksQQddiZ2282QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item330249454985&_trksid=p3756.m14.l1318 - RWD: Transaxle in the rear, with LSD (like C5/C6 Corvette and front-engine Porsches) - inboard rear brakes (like Jaguar) - High-revving Euro V6 - Unique styling I'm just a nut for "dare to be different" rides, I guess...

Crossle Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Thats sharp, first car that comes to mind is the Merkur XR4Ti and/or the Cosworth Ford Escort. Same body lines sort of. I love the odd foreign cars that you just don't see anywhere. Thanks for posting that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Recaro seats look right at home in that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerTurbo Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Alfa Romeo's are cheap piles of garbage. My rental car is an Alfa Romeo 159. For only having 1500Km on it there sure are a lot of shitty annoyances that put me off to this car. The one headlight is already burnt out. The driver door doesn't unlock 80% of the time, so the passenger has to do it from inside. The check engine light comes on sparadically. The left turn signal blinker has a mind of its own on how fast it wants to blink. And, it sounds like a tin can on the inside when driving. It looks good though.

CRed05 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I would own anything alfa made that says GT on it.

RangerTurbo Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 But Ford Rangers are high class luxury chariots... Yah, cause this was all about side by side comparisons. My ranger would be cooler if the turbo was gold, but I just don't have those drifter skillz to pull it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not yet. Downloaded it last night, will watch it tonight. I love old Alfa's in general, too. They make some great looking cars. I really love the Delta Integrale, though.

Inboard rotors, GTV's look odd because you can't see anything in rear wheels. Hot car for sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Watched it today. Felt the same way about the Alfa 75. Up until he painted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
