ฝัง

- Wheeler Dealers star Marc "Elvis" Priestley drove me round and round the Varano racetrack in an Alfa Romeo GTV until I felt sick! Come along for the ride with with me in Part 2, as I fly to Italy to meet the Wheeler Dealers crew, who were filming a 20th Anniversary reunion of the Alfa GTV Cup Race Series for their "Season 27" episode. Watch me shake Mike Brewers hand and buy the beautiful 3.0 V6 Alfa GTV that Mike had bought for his Wheeler Dealers co-star Elvis to fix up! Follow my exciting road trip to meet up with Mike and Elvis, and drive the GTV around the Varano racetrack amid the spectacular scenery of Parma province in Northern Italy!

Great video should be getting alot more views top viewing relatable guy passionate knows what he talking about makes the video feel like it was a clip top class in my opinion 👍
Thanks a lot for watching and for the kind comments Thomas - much appreciated! (Hope you subscribed? 😉😂)
@@TheAlfaNut course making me want another alfa on my drive keep up the content
Haha, sorry about that! 😉👍🏻
@@TheAlfaNut don't be sorry want another one anyways unsure on what alfa tho? Ha
Chris, that was superb. The Alfa Nut at his best. Incredible amount of work. Thank you. Paul
Hi Paul, thanks a lot - yes it was, about 5 days of editing and writing! Hopefully it will get noticed and plenty of views? 👍🏻
Another awesome video. Thanks again Chris.😍
Cheers for watching Dom, appreciate it! 😎👍🏻
Beautiful GTV!
You bought it in April; you must have had a great summer in it!
Hi mate, thanks for watching. Yes I have had a busy Summer! More GTV videos to come in the New Year as I’ve done some more stuff to it.
Huge fun. Well done on the purchase. It might be a week before Christmas but, you've inspired me. The little 916 spider will have it's roof down later this morning if it stays dry. If it's wet, I'm going for a drive in a misted up car!
Thanks for watching mate! Good luck for a dry day - I’m in London today and its pouring! 🥴
Crap weather. Steamed up and the flasher unit seems to have failed. Or, is wet.
The joys.......@@TheAlfaNut
@Lucan-ve6zc oh dear, Alfas are water-soluble I’m afraid 😬
G'day Mate,
I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the in detail video, the production and story was a lot of fun to watch!
Cant wait for the next video.
Thanks for watching mate, glad you enjoyed it! Have you watched Parts 1 and 2 yet? They are on my channel now 👍🏻🍺
Sure have! I've been sucked down a alfa rabbit hole!@@TheAlfaNut
Haha - sorry (not sorry!) 🍀🚗
Love a roadtrip video and what an amazing experience for you! For sure not the usual user car purchase deal 😉🇮🇹
Cheers David, yeah I love a road trip too - not always so easy for me with a business and a family to take care of but I couldn’t turn this one down could I? 😉👍🏻
Great journey Chris !! Well done with the GTV. Wish you a lot safe and enjoyable rides my friend !!
Many thanks mate, I appreciate your support! 😊👍🏻
Another great video car looks the nuts looking forward to part 3👌🏼
Cheers for watching Aggie! Yes the car is great - I’ve done more work to it since then, more content coming in the New Year 👍🏻
Hi Chris,
It was such a great journey to Parma and Verano. I have really enjoyed your video.
Glad you enjoyed it Stanislas! It was a lot of fun - would you do the same if you were asked?
@@TheAlfaNut Yes, I would do nearly the same. But not sure I would like to be on the passenger's seat with Elvis or another driver.
I've been to Parma last June, it's a lovely city.
@stanislas4990 haha yeah exactly - I would much prefer to have been the driver! 🥴
The Alfa Nut in my country 🇮🇹
Buon Natale Lorenzo! Thanks for watching 😉🎅🏻👍🏻🎄
Hi Chris. Congratulations on picking up the gtv. Well done!
Thanks mate, more to come on this story!
Great video Chris, ready for the next one now
Cheers Rod, won’t be long now - Xmas Eve! 🎅🏻👍🏻
Trip to Italy, enjoying sights and scenes , whizz round a race track, not a bad way to buy an Alfa. Enjoy
Hi Martin, how are you? Thanks for stopping by for a look! Yes I agree its better than meeting somebody in a rainy Tesco car park to look at a car! 😂👍🏻
Love it!
Thanks for watching Bas! More vids to come on this car - next Sunday is Part 3, then more in the New Year 👍🏻
Great video as always mate 👍🏾
Cheers for watching mate - Happy New Year, hope you had a good one? 🥂👍🏻
Another fabulous video. The GTV as a car is really growing on me, especially in red or blue. I have in the past driven a BMW round Brands Hatch and a Jag E Type, Aston Martin DB4, Porche 911 and Mk 1 Lotus Cortina round Goodwood, and I thought I was doing well until the professional driver got in and did their stuff. I loved every moment and plan to do others in the future.
Looking forward to what happens to your GTV, and putting an Auto trader search in
Thanks Joseph, yes those pro drivers make fast look so easy don’t they? There are plenty of GTV’s for sale at the moment, especially if you don’t mind doing some work?
Hey, what a nice city and places that I feel like I know, with so many Alfas as a backdrop! haha!!
Yes, such a shame I didn’t realise you lived there! Oh well - next time! Buon Natale! 🎅🏻👍🏻
@@TheAlfaNut Next time 👍🏻
Buon Natale anche a te
Can’t wait for part 3
Hey Matt, how are you? thanks for watching mate, it may be slightly less exciting as Xmas is cramping my style a little! 🥴😂
@@TheAlfaNut my last day at WD today so glad of Xmas distraction 🤣
January I'm starting to rebuild a 355 challenge car and strip a 512tr so getting all Italian myself 👌🏼
@mattlehec Wow, so a new chapter opens up? Good luck with those mate, sounds exciting!
Wow a 164, brings back sweet memories. Great color on the GTV 👍
Cheers Dick! Yes Vela blue is an understated but very pretty colour isn’t it?
Thank You for another amazing video!
Hi mate, thanks very much for watching - what was your favourite part?
@@TheAlfaNut
For me it has to be the part when you first arrive at the track, accompanied by the member od WD crew.
@sinisalucic1996 haha yes, we were worried because it was so wet but it was ok in the end - the track was dry before too long 👍🏻
What an amazing experience of course you bring rain 🌧 with you 👍well done!
Yeah of course - rain is my speciality! 🥴
It didn’t spoil the experience though I have to say 👍🏻
Hello Jethro. You are even further south of me than Chris is. I would like to see you recommissioned your Alfa. I think that they've hot rock bottom, and they'll be picking up by the time you finish it. Best wishes. Paul
Looks like you had a great time and what a fantastic experience,hopefully featuring on such a well loved series wil help grow the chanel too which is well deserved.Looking forward to part 3.
Cheers Rob, fingers crossed although regardless it was a lot of fun! Which was your favourite part?
@@TheAlfaNut Hearing that Bussio V6 music is always enjoyable.
Agreed - I never use the stereo in my Spider! 😂
Your eyes are so red😅Tough christmas 🎅
Haha - yes, lot's of late-night video filming and editing, as well as all the usual Christmas preparations!
Loved it Chris and love those 2 yahoos (Mike and Elvis ) :P
Hi Don, cheers for watching - it was a fun experience and Mike and Elvis are genuine guys. 👍🏻
What do you think the future for these cars is? I have a 3.0 GTV tucked away that’s barely running. Not sure what to do with it.
I know - you kept saying that you were going to restore it! 😉 They are “bouncing” now - prices are firming up but it may take a year or two before they make you rich!
Congratulations on the new car! That was a superb video, I can’t wait for the next one on Christmas Eve! Good luck with the new car and best wishes from a fellow Alfa nut!👍
Cheers for watching Peter - I need to get the final episode edited, in between buying and wrapping presents, taking the family to London for a pre-Xmas treat and trying to go to work in between! I need a holiday 🥴👍🏻
@@TheAlfaNut it’s all got to be done though, and it will be worth it in the end when the whiskey comes out and the turkey is in the oven!👍 good luck with the next video and Merry Christmas to you🥂
This is brilliant! I have always wondered what its like to buy a car from Wheeler Dealers. We also now know why you where in Palma earlier in the year with that suitcase!🤣
Haha yes that was why! To be honest it was a great experience - the whole crew are really nice people and all keen to make sure you get a good deal and are happy. I was expecting “star” behaviour and hissy fits but nothing could be further from the truth. Great down to earth folks 👍🏻
great vid but what about all these Neapolitan mandolins in Parma?? 😅
Yeah I know - its pretty difficult finding royalty-free Italian music for videos! 😂 My Nanas family were all from Naples / Cassino area, so I grew up listening to Neapolitan songs and my Nana played the mandolin too! I can play a bit myself 🎸🪕
Amazing Video when is the WD episode on Air?
Hi Papas, thanks for watching - the WD episode was last week, you can see it in Discovery+ or on TH-cam here: th-cam.com/video/lzzkNKX0_FE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Z8QgN-tFBlsdeqCT
😂 love seeing you green 🤢 All joking aside looked a good day !! Well to a point xx
Haha thanks Sue (I think! 😂)
Seen a few comments on PH about WD Cars. Are they has bad as they're made out to be?
Nope, in my experience they were very keen to make sure they had got the car up to a good standard and that I was happy with it before I bought it. Genuine, straight guys to a man - I had a great experience, that’s the truth
Oh, you live in Devon? Funny, I lived in Bideford for a while 20 years ago. Sadly I had no Alfa at the time since I sold my 75 just before I moved there.
Bideford is a funny little place - I went there one New Years Eve in fancy dress, everyone gathers in the middle of the bridge for midnight! 😂👍🏻
@@TheAlfaNut Didn't live there long enough to experience that but there were other funny things happening. :)
Yes it’s very much a “North Devon” experience! Most small town & villages in North Devon are similar! 😉👍🏻
@@TheAlfaNut After growing up in a tiny village in the Lapland forests I know all to well what you mean! :D
Nice! I grew up in North Yorkshire and my Dads family were originally from Norway via Scotland (Davison) I used to go to the rallies in Dalby forest in the 1980’s and it was always the Finnish guys like Ari Vatanen who showed everyone how it was done! Amazing how many fantastic drivers have come from Finland - must be something in the water! 😉🚗💨
Brilliant !
Thanks for watching mate - what was your favourite part? 👍🏻
@@TheAlfaNut I found the whole 'coincidence' with you meeting the guys so extraordinary ;-)
@@sainta2667 I know right? It almost seems like it was planned 😅
