Alfa GT Coupe

[komotar]

Yesterday was a good day.

I took alot of pictures in a few different places.
The car was only a 1.9 diesel with 150 or so hp, but it pulled suprisingly well from about 2k rpm to 3.3k rpm.

It handles quite nice. The nose feels just a bit heavy, but overall
the car handles and feels great.
Breaks are also good, but after few minutes of chasing the civic type r, they start to fade, naturaly.

I had the car from 8am to 4pm. Did about 200 km's.
Top speed a little over 210 kmh. Did that in germany if the cops sre reading this :wink:

Don't even get me started with the styling part. The car is sooo good looking. Chicks dig it. :twisted:

Seats hug you just like your grandmother. I actually felt the "buckets" could be a bit bigger. But if you're skinny, you should fit perfectly :wink:

There is room in the back seats, but let me just say, that when I sat in them, I felt really big and I'm only 176 cm.

Anyway, enough talking.


The forst "photoshoot" location was by a near by castle.

Last but not least...

A bonus you probably didn't expect.

These two cars couldn't be more different, but both are fun, good to drive - each in it's own way.

One the Italian diva, othe the Japaneese pocket rocket.
One low reving the other high.

Honda is very stiff and extremley sporty, the Alfa is more relaxed but can go fast arround corners if driven correctly.

Enjoy the pics.

Any comments are welcome. Good or bad. So don't be shy. Thx!

[dingo]

I don't think you'll get many bad comments, a sexy little car and some really sensational photos...well done. :D
Who owns the Honda?

[TT]

Great pics of a sweet car I always liked since it was first unveiled! Thanks! I saved many of them!

I may have missed something in your previous topics, but was this a testdrive from a dealership, a rental or what?

[dropot2]

Very artistic pics there! And obviously the car also helps to make photos even better with its marvellous design :D

[komotar]

Testdrive from the dealership.

You guys are fast!

[dingo]

You've inspired me to get myself a rental for a day.....looking in the Yellow Pages now to see whats available and for how much. I think I might reward myself after the exams with a drive down south in maybe a 350Z or something similar. :D

Pics or STFU :lol: :P :wink:

[dingo]

you can bet on it....if I do it there will be pics for sure of course. :D

[Wutputt]

Wow, a whole bunch of pics of a very sweet car. I really like the GT. I most like the pics taken at the castle. The colour combination of the red Alfa, the green grass and the light coloured castle and ground is really nice. And of course I like the detailed pics, but you could already have guessed that ;)

[maxbg]

Ha.. Looks like you've been bitten by the serpent too.

Enjoy your drive !!!! :lol:

[Attie]

WOW... amazing pictures! I save them :)

[komotar]

I'm sure you enjoyed the testdrive so much.

I did, I sure did :twisted:

[komotar]

Who owns the Honda?

I forgot to answer.

My good friend and neighbor owns that Honda.

I posted some pics of it about two weeks ago.

The topics name is "my friend's civic type R", or something like that.

[sikx5]

damn this is a mad topic. that must of been awesome fun to drive! awesome pics too, Thanks man!

[davide]

I could easily use the ones with the forrest and the car but the pictures are too blurry. Otherwise, very nice picture, the scenery is lovely.

[nejcdolinsek]

Goddamn! Those are beautiful pics of a beautiful car!!!! :shock:

Where did you take the pics?

How do you get all these test drives??? And what about the RX8?

[Fleischmann]

fantastic photgraphy there!! You chose the perfect sceneries. My personal fav:

Hey Nejc.

All the locations are 3 min away from my house.

I live in a small village 23 km out of ljubljana. It lies by the main road halfway between Ljubljana and Trojane.

The castle was a home to a very known Slovenian writer Janko Kersnik, wich I'm sure you heard of....

The "drevored"(don't know the english word for this, but you'll understand :oops: ) starts a few feet away form the castle and it's one of the oldest in Slovenia. Much older that the castle itself.

I get test drives by actually not telling the truth wich makes me a bad boy.
Well it's not as bad as it sounds, I basicly tell them I wanna buy the car.
But I allways try to take as little of the salesman's time as possible.

I am not braking the law, I'm "bending" the truth.
It just hurts so bad that all the dealerships have sooo many cars and not to use the chance to drive them would be a crime.


I'll tell you more about the rx8 next week.

Oh, thx for the comments. To all of you.

[EnzoLover]

Good photos :D

[1zippo1]

good story about one of my current favorite cars. You're right about the styling, it's gorgeous. Never expected a car like this from Alfa. And I believe you if you say it's nice to drive. Most reviewers said that the chassis was good, but just not as good as some other sporty rivals (like the 320Cd). I wish I will once own an Alfa GT like this.

2 remarks though, red isn't the best colour for it IMO. It looks great in dark blue and superb in black. Maybe dark grey would be cool, but never seen one like that. And one other thing, the rims are nice, but I would opt for just an inch or maybe two bigger then the standard 16 inchers.

[360modena]

Good job komotar, I'm saving everything! I have to admit first I didn't like very much that car (may be because of Bertone design, I don't know...) but now I really love it. And much more since I try it saturday.
I was with a friend at the local Alfa reseller and we were starting going out the car when a seller we know came with the keys. First I hesitate thinking "oh my god it's the only one and it's a diesel! shiiiiitttttt!!!!!" (everyone that ever tryed a twinsparks engine will understand why :D ) then my friends didn't. So after some miles and hot curves and breaking, no hesitation it's a very very good Alfa (like each others).


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v105/komotar/Ilovethiscarjabbasig.jpg
that's exactly what I feel when I watch an alfa :D

[Attie]

Is it supplied with Alfatex? I like that upholstery :)
