Yes,I know.
You certainly know well cars like Ferrai,Maserati,Lamborghini,Pagani...
But...do you know other Italian cars,like Alfa Romeo (well known,I think) or Fiat or Lancia?

If you are fron Europe,you ought to know these cars... :huh: ...or maybe not.....

But if you're from Usa or other far countries (far from Italy) maybe you don't know these good cars.

I'll show you two or three of the newest cars from Alfa Romeo.

:cat: Hi there weneto.

You might be interested to know that we have all those cars you mentioned here in New Zealand. The only car I don't know is the Pagani. Here in New Zealand-there is a family called Pagani and they manufacture ladies shoes.

I saw a Lamborghini at a car show recently and saw the invoice for the replacement of the cam belt. $12,000.00 for that job thank you. It had something like 87,000k's on the clock.

Cheers :right:

Most Americans (at least those into cars) know about Alfas. Its a shame we dont get them. Theres talk every now and then about them coming here, but it never happens.

Most dont seem to know about Pagani, its not certified here. Supposed to be soon tho from what Ive read.

Alfas are sold in Malaysia. In fact, every once in a while, we have 'friendly' (sometimes, UN -) brushed with them on the road. :)

It will happens!

before long it will happens!

Alfa said that it will return in USA in 2008 or 2009,with the restyled 159 and Brera...
Yes,I know,it isn't tomorrow,but....

I remember that the last Alfa's car sold in Usa was the 164 (like Volvo 164...),that's true?

In the late 2006 I'll have to buy another car (combined with the V70) and I think it'll be the 159 1.9 jtdM...

When I was young (very very young,I don't remember that car,I have only have photos) my father had the Alfa Romeo Gt 2000 Veloce

You'll have to wait years to drive in Usa an Alfa Romeo.....but I've driven that cars many time!

Sorry for taking so long to reply to this.

But what i meant is that, we sometimes, have good and friendly 'run' with them on the road. :)

Volvos in Malaysia? Dude, i really have no idea.
Sorry.

The Italians know a lot about footwear ........ They rely heavily on them when their cars don't kinda start :P
