Hi, i'm Kev, from southern NSW australia. i live in the cold part of country of australia (ie we get a bit of snow in winter).

i just bought my first Alfa, so i'd thought i'd find some like minded people. its a 85 GTV 2.0 that i saw on ebay in VGC. i've only had the drive home with her and for a twenty-year old car, i'm impressed. she should be fun to play with on the weekends.

To do list atm is to pass registration inspection.

i had a hobby a few years ago building 3D computer models of cars for computer games, like Need for Speed. while i was doing this i was asked to do a model of the Giocatolo, a mid engined v8 car based on the GTV6 body. i then developed an interest in the gtv from then on.

my daily driver is a new Ford Falcon XR-8 sports ute.

Welcome aboard! Nice car.
How far are you from Canberra?
By the way, the Giocattolo (the spelling always gets me) was based on a Sud Sprint, not a GTV6.

Actually it was both.

The original prototypes were based on the GTV6, however it became too expensive to get hold of them so they switched to the Sprint. ;)

Nice clean example you've got there aussie!

ROCK ON
