I’m bored. So bored, in fact, that I am posting a picture of a Corvair convertible that I spotted years ago back when I lived in California in a long dead club.

Mitsubishi FTO in terrible condition. Apologies for the terrible pic, it was difficult to take a picture of a small car behind a bush while going 50mph.

Aye a Capri. Very nice. I like my Sierras though, particularly the Sierra Sapphire (Cosworth). Escorts and Cortinas are near as well. British Fords are the best. Oh, and of course the Mondeo too. But seriously, the front of the Arna's front end reminds me of an Opel of the era and the rear reminds me of the Sierra with the stupid little wing sticking out on its rear. Didn't Alfa do a collaboration with Mazda at some point as well? I vaguely remember reading about it somewhere but I'm not sure.

The Arna was an Alfa-Romeo / Nissan tie-up. It's also total crap: I bought one to find out how bad it was, and it was worse than I thought it could be. Sent it to the scrapyard with no regret whatsoever. One of my first cars was a 1982 Ford Capri 2.0 with the 5-speed gearbox from a Sierra. It was a press fleet car from Ford UK before my Godmother bought it; I got it from her but it was unfortunately totalled after hitting black ice one night at about 60mph. Bored it out to around 2.3 and did a few other things to it before that happened, though...

What! People actually like 50s and before Alfas! Impossible! But the front of the Arna looks like an Opel/Vauxhall... Rear is definitely Alfa but front looks too GM. Meanwhile 155 looks totally and completely Italian. Edit: upon closer inspection the Arna looks like a British Ford. They're amazing cars but they aren't Alfas.

Sure. Totally doable. Yep, got that. Heh, that's funny See next comment. Ah. So apparently I (and the other Alfa people who have been doing this longer than I have) don't exist. Neither I nor them are angry. We're just giggling at your approach. I'd suggest an Alfa Arna, in that case. Yep, definitely the Alfa Arna. I'm open to changing things, but don't make the request by slagging off someone else's taste.

idea: change driver club banner to alfa 155 function: change driver club banner to alfa 155 benefits: we get to look at something tastier than whatever ancient alfa the current banner is downfalls: classic alfa fans (which don't exist anyways) get angry are others interested: people who want something sexier to their eyes. p.s. not the base model that looks normal something like the quadrifoglio or the gta stradale that actually looks hot

Well as i never uploaded the Fairmont picture i thought i would Now for my new pride and joy that i picked up today at the right price Ford Fairlane BF 2006

It's all good, no stress i had just posted my cars to get the ball rolling. Although most clubs i have noticed get little traffic so to be honest i have kinda forgot about them lol. I have no issues with your post Gold ?

Sorry ...I'm totally in the wrong spot here... For my one above I was thinking it was in a general area not only in 2600's cars...Whoops!

I'll just leave this here...

Was just thinking the other day there should be a car club ?? Here is a couple of my cars and one that i sold awhile ago. I used to have many photos of my old cars although lost them over the years :(. Anyway it happens. These are not oldschool classics but i like them and please note in Australia we are forced to keep modifications subtle due to laws. So many of us like to restore back to original condition with worked engines (sleepers). Ford EA Fairmont Ghia 1988 (sold) I sold this awhile ago but i have fond memories of the car. Was what i learnt to work on and basically built the car from ground up. Basically i restored everything and loved every minute driving it. They made 147kw (200hp) from factory not sure what it made in the end but she was alot quicker when i was done rebuilding her. 4.0L SOHC NA inline six cyl (Australian built) Full engine rebuild T5 manual conversion 977b cam High flow injectors, pump, cat Head ported and induction piping Complete sports exhaust system J3 performance chip Ford Falcon BA XR6 Turbo Ute 2004 This is my weekender ute (pickup) and she doesn't get driven much at all (sits at the farm). Had it since new in 2004 and is great fun to drive, still only has just over 100,000kms on her. Anyway yeah never bothered with a full rebuild as it was brand new at the time and has been looked after (immaculate). Has modifications and not really a sleeper but cops seem to leave it alone. Haven't had her on the dyno but from factory they made 270kw so id say after the mods maybe around 320kw-340kw about (450hp+-) or something, shes fast enough. 4.0L DOHC Turbo inline six (Australian built) code name Barra T5 manual (stick shift) Boosted factory GT3582RL turbo. Tuned Frontmount intercooler. Hiflow injectors and pump. Full adjustable suspension - coilovers front - lowing blocks rear - 32mm adjustable swaybar - camber kit ect ect ect. Compete TIG welded stainless steel 3in exhast system turbo back into twin hiflow cats, magnaflow muffler to twinpiece rear. 300w power inverter running a PS2 Slim through a Sony 7.5inch display screen Ford Fairmont AUII 2000 My daily driver, completely stock standard and nothing too special but a good family car (priorities these days) ?. Anyway yeah ill post a pic when i get out there with the camera and give her a clean lol 4.0L SOHC NA inline six 4speed BTR M93LE Lux pack Stock Stock Stock
