Hello Everyone,

I kind of crashed in here and starting asking questions so thought I should take a couple of minutes to introduce myself.

My first Alfa was a 156 that I bought back in 2001 and sold in 2008 really loved that car and regret letting it go.

After a lapse of about 2 years I bought a 2000 MY 166 which shortly after purchase had the cambelt go despite what the previous owner said! Anyway the guys at Alfalusso are "building" me a "new" one using mine as a donor.

Having cleared out some other cars I then bought a 1994 33 1.7 IE 8V racer a couple of weeks back, the interior of the car has been race prepped, i.e. Roll Cage, Race Seats, Harness, Fire Extinguisher, Plexiglass Windows, Interior Stripped, Fiberglass bonnet etc. but the mechanicals are original 8V 33 with the exception of some drilled front discs and braided brake lines.

But she needs a bit of work mostly on the suspension and fuel tank and I'm fixing the rust before it gets out of hand, Ill post some pictures as I progress.

I've also bought a second 1.7 IE 8V, this one a 93, by all accounts in good nick, with around 50k on the clock which I was going to use for spares on the Race Car, but reading on this site how few are left that just doesn't sound right so I'm changing my mind about that. I'll have to let you know what the cars like though as I've yet to pick it up.

Thanks for all the help so far and look forward to meeting some of you soon!

Hi Alfa Racer, any chance you could 'pm' me your two 33s registrations to add to the 33 register?
Cheers, Paul.
