owelly Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I should have known better. I should have known not to leave the foisty walls of the sheds. I should have realised that the techy place wasn't the place for me. One simple question. I only wanted a simple answer. I asked them if they knew of anyone who had put a v6 Alfa engine into a toy car. I wanted someone to tell me that I simply needed to get a certain model of Alfa and a certain type of geary box and a weekends work would see me with 200bhp and a nice sounding car. But no. I've had to go out and buy an Alfa. And it will probably be the wrong sort. Well it will serve them all right if it is the wrong one! And if I can't make it fit one of my collection of gearboxes, it will teach them not to be so knucke-headed. There, that'll teach them. How do I explain the appearance of another car on the drive when miss owelly wants to get her car on the drive?? *confused* 😬 savin up to be eccentric. but for now, i'll just be stupid...

Delbert Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 How do I explain the appearance of another car on the drive when miss owelly wants to get her car on the drive??

owelly Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 If I can get rid of the Discovery, perhaps she won't see the Alfa out of the window....or she will think that the Alfa has always been there but she couldn't see it because of the Landy 😬 savin up to be eccentric. but for now, i'll just be stupid...

owelly Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 Oh and BTW, it will fit.

owelly Posted November 5, 2004 Author Share Posted November 5, 2004 Totally awsome engine dudes 😬 😬 😬 I hired an amazing thing to get the Alfa home/to TT's house. An A-frane towing thingy. It only cost £15 to hire and trundled the big old Alfa up the M1 at a 'moderate' speed. Highly recommeded. Should have the engine out in the morning. And fitted by teatime.If only I wasn't going to Venice at 3 o'clock ☹️ ☹️ Typical. I get an Italian car and go to the only place in Italy with no fekn roads ☹️ *mad* savin up to be eccentric. but for now, i'll just be stupid...

Coose Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Int that what grinders are for? I'm sure that Alfa unit must be over-engineered somewhat, 'specially as they're deisgned to pull supertrawlers and not speedboats! But remember, you can never have too many inches!
