Would that not take your current PCH-quotient Beyond The Impossible?

One of these and an air cooled porsche 911 turbo are just a few of the must haves for me. Now I just need a job, preferably one that pays well.

That is perfectly perfect. So perfect. Why do you do this to me?

Awful wheels though. Would it kill him to mount Turbina's? They aren't expensive and weigh only 5.7 kg's or something.

It's his car though. And every 2000 GTV on the road is a good thing.

Also, if you ever get a ride in a GTV, the trunk release is in the drivers side B-pillar, accessible when you open the door. The window cleaning sprayer is a manual foot pump somewhere left to the clutch in the footwell.

I have three cars that at the end of the day I Must have. I already own one.... my Cherokee. This and a 1963 country squire wagon are the other two.What I wouldn't give for one of these right now.

Don't blame me, blame Petrolicious. I was perfectly happy lusting after an affordable Alfetta GTV, and then bam. Now I want a £10,000 2000 GTV again.

...maybe.

There's only one way to find out.

They're great aren't they. I think they fall into a sweet spot when it comes to performance cars. They're slow enough that you can enjoy pretty much all of the performance available without breaking the speed limit, but are actually really rather quick.

Low-powered enough to be able to wind them out, but meaty enough that you're still going at quite a pace once you have.

Oh, and really, really pretty.

I don't mind them actually. not what I would choose at all, but I love seeing how the varied wheels that people choose affect the look of GTVs. Not all of them I like, but they're much more varied than the endless stream of minilites that end up on most classics.

I've had my 135 for a whole month and I already want to sell it buy three Alfas in its place. I don't like this car payment business; it keeps me from buying stupid shit. The A/C has kind of been nice for the worst of the Texas summer, I must admit. Still; one modern, quick but soulless BMW, or two or three Alfas? The math isn't difficult.
