Default Alfa GT Coupe

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

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

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

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.




The second location, a hundred yards away, very nice pics imo





The third set, was located by a lake, again near my home.




Fourth set......are you getting bored?
These were taken on the way home from the lake set.








Some detailed pics...






A few interior pics....




Speedo view....





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.









As you can see, I love this car.




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

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

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?

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

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.

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

Orazio Satta Puliga, one of the most important figures in Italian motorcar history to say:
"Alfa is a unique way of living and feeling a car. There is no definition that explains what Alfa really is. You can compare it with those irrational emotions, that sometimes have a human spirit, for which it is impossible to find a logical explanation. We are in the domain of feelings, passion of things that are closer to a man's heart than his brain."

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.

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.
