    Well I'm not an Alfisti but somehow I can relate to the feeling of owning and driving a relic from the past. The problem we have today is that we are currently living in the era where cars are too good and what of a better word - emotionless.
    For couple of years, I've enjoyed 'quantity' driven performance cars that works like clockwork. It was all good until I tasted the old Satria GTI. Used to own one so to own one again, I had to get my brother to buy it hahaha.
    It wasn't a perfect car...but it was the perfect car to me. It was a joy whenever I have a chance to drive it around provided I didn't get stranded by the roadside. It gives more than just 'quantitative' driving, it makes you able to relive back the good old days where every sunday is sunday drive day and where every 1st saturday is track day. Oh well we grow up all right. But then, we don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing ;)

      Fantastic feedback!! Love this, thank you!! On the contrary, I'm of the belief that guys NEVER grow up, their toys just get bigger, hahahaha!!
      And I wholeheartedly agree, modern day cars do TOO much for the driver, it's like they're driving you, not the other way around. This car, no bullshit, it will bite u if you're not careful, disrespect it once and you'll pay dearly. It doesn't really want to kill you, but it will if you're not careful 😆😆😆

    I remember when I received my brand new Black Alfasud Ti 1.5 QV and I was initially taking super care of her and I remember seeing a Doctor doing a drift in a similar Alfetta to the one you have… I said to myself if Doctors drive Alfa Romeo like this I should enjoy it and then the more I was getting familiar with the car the craziness kept going on till one day Boom and the car was destroyed… I repaired her but it was never the same and one of the saddest stories of my life even its 40 year old story but I still regret it. Everyone told me if you keep driving like that you will end up dead. Luckily I survived because my Alfa took care of me with super safety features but I admit it I didn’t take care of her as I should have 😢

      Nope...Alfetta never needed choke. Dellortoes always seem to need several pumps before cranking with a little throttle while cranking. Carbs look like they need a little balancing...will help. Great car and great vid. Good to see fettas getting love...hugely under rated.
