916 book author says hello...

Hi all

Better introduce myself...

I'm a 43 year old car enthusiast currently living in England. I have had lots of fun cars over the years, including Capri 2.8i, ferrari 308gt4, Porsche 911 carrera and Westfield SEi. I also used to have a Maserati 3200GT which superceded an Alfa Romeo GTV V6 - I used to frequent the forum on GTVV6.com.

I'm currently driving a Fiat 500, which is great fun, but a bit of a change in performance for me ( my last car was a 147GTA)...

My first book about the Alfa Romeo GTV and Spider (916 series naturally) was published by Crowood press in September, and it contains a few pictures of Davor's car (thank you Davor)!

Looking forward to joining the chat

All the best

Robert

Hi Robert and welcome! :)

I was very sad when Keith decided to shut down GTVV6.com - it was a great community with a lot of useful info about 916. Since that time I was on lot of Alfa forums but there was a need for a dedicated one like Squadra 916 is now. I was really happy when Nikola (Charlee) called me and said: "I will do it! Would you be around to help?" :) At first it was only Croatian forum, but now it's a real international community and we all hope that in time it'll become the first stop for GTV and Spider owners.

What I like the most about Squadra is a very user friendly forum software, simple and nice design and very usable garage module - a great way to present cars and all the modifications with comments.

I am very thankful to you for writing this book. There is no doubt that car like this deserves a good book. It's not only a technical marvel of that time in that price segment but also a design icon with a perfect mix of driving joy and performance for many car enthusiasts. I think you overdelivered - you cover everything in the book, even many details and history background that are not usually found in this type of books. I hope you'll join our discussions here from time to time even if you are not a GTV owner any longer.

Welcome Robert!

Just got the book in my hands. Marvelous! I enjoy those Norwegian contributions, and have actually driven the silver 3 litre by Mr. Von Der Lippe! Almost bought it, but went for a TB instead.

Thanks to your book I have noticed that I own one of just 47 cars that were built in 1999!

Look forward to share experiences and tips.

-Magnus
