A new Alfista on board - NEW PICS Alfa Romeo 166

[Iwan]

hi jabba community!

first of all please excuse my english, it is not my mothertongue and
i will try to keep my posts as proper and accurate as possible.

before i start to post comments and opinions i wanted to introduce
my self real quick!

my nickname is my realname i'm based in zurich/switzerland but
currently i'm living in paris/france. i'm on assignment here until 2007.
i'm married and daddy of two lovely kid's (28 & 8 months).

i work for one of the largest IT companies as a financial analys/
controller.

in my spare time (and if i say spare - i mean spear time) i enjoy some
awesome ride's with my alfa romeos to the swiss mountains or now
x-ing paris downtown....

this is my next point: ALFA ROMEO - 'the' make for me, although i
love cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati etc. at the end of the day
i always would choose an ALFA ROMEO over them....i know sounds
crazy - but it's true - and, stupid enough, can't tell you why...i also
used to be the vice president of the AROC cuoresportivo.ch, so if you
have specific questions about this brand do not hesitate to pm me.

i do have 3 alfa romeos and 1 family car as following:

Alfa Romeo 75 3.0 V6 America (good old transaxle), 1988
Alfa Romeo 166 3.0 V6 America (definition of style), 2001
Alfa Romeo GTV V6 turbo (nicest affordable sportscar), 2000
Renault Grand Espace 3.0 V6 Dci (Diesel, familyvan), 2004

i will present the 75 (wrapped in plastic to prevent it from rust)
later in spring.

the renault and GTV are here in paris, more infos below. and my
sister just submitted the ownership proof from zurich!

nice cars Iwan, a very nice cars !! I just love your GTV, it really looks sportive . And the interior looks very beautiful and clean too !! your 166 is also very cool, the exhaust tip looks nice and those rims are very nice too, is it tuned ?

ahhh a man after my own heart, alfa's everywhere

unfortunately I can't let you have that 166 and 75 in the topic without some kind of proof, so I have edited them out until you get some as I dont want to close the topic with 2 verified cars in it


and yes the alfa V6 is a fantastic engine, one of these days I will have to get more verified pics of my little 'collection' but until then I will STFU

wow very nice cars,i love the rims on yuor 166.thanks also for posting proof of your cars,welcome to JW

[Iwan]

hi all, tx for the flowers, no problem danV6, thought the same licence plates
are proof enought - will try to contact my sister in zurich for some shots
of the documents/keys.

nevertheless, i also have some awesome videos (where to post?)- passing a
tunnel for instance, all my alfas are tuned with rims, lowered suspensions & sport
exhausts.

the rims on the GTV are from ZENDER, called SIENA. the side skirts and the
front spoiler is also from ZENDER and was 'standard' for the 3.0 V6 GTV cup
model in 2002.

cheers,
iwan

Welcome aboard and here is another Swiss member

Just out of curiosity, had any problem with the Espace? My mom got one and my uncle too, the very first ones arriving here and both had many problems already, especially my mom's (wich is the 2.2 diesel while uncles is a V6 like yours)

[bmwmpower]

thanks for pics, very nice cars, GTV with Turbo? please put some interesting numbers about specifications of this car

well they might have been if I could actually read them in the pics although TBH I dont know how plates work in your country

[TT]

Well basically most ppl keep the same plates all life long, but it's not mandatory, so not really a final proof

[No.1]

Welcome to JW. It's great that you got the custom shots too... not everybody reads the rules

A very sexy GTV 8) And a pretty cool Espace too

Have you got any high-res pics of the GTV

[maxbg]

Welcome to the family....

You've got a very nice GTV.

[Wutputt]

What can I say, you have a very nice car collection, especially with the Alfa 75 and GTV. Your GTV is one of the sexiest GTV's I've ever seen. It has a great colour combination with that lovely blue on the outside and the black/beige interior. The rims and nice body styling makes it complete. A very nice car
