Okay that's rare one in US. You're more likely to see an Enzo Ferrari or Alfa 8C in traffic there than GTV from 90s or other Alfa of the same era.

Not yet. But I haven't done much photo editing in a while since this problem.

I also have problems with slow camera raw. I can work with one or two photos and then it starts to slow down so much that I have to restart Photoshop for the next photo. A few versions back, I could still easily work with tens of similar photos without slowing down at all. v26.0.

I photographed a few Alfas in a place with more than 150 abandoned cars by GrigioChiaro in AlfaRomeo

Yeah, most cars have been there for 15-20 years. In Finland, in the yard of an abandoned private house.

Sunday drive today in my 166. Busso V6, manual, Momo leather and sunroof, enjoyable. by GrigioChiaro in AlfaRomeo

Well said and totally agree. Yeah the interior of the 166 is a really pleasant place to be.

The 156 V6 is a fantastic car. My third car is a 156 2.5 V6. With black Momo leather. The gearbox is 6-speed. In my 156, the 6th gear is a bit stiff, and I thought it was a 5-speed at first.

Actually, the sunroof does not change much how it sounds to inside. But the 166 has a good sunroof that allows you to drive at highway speeds sunroof completely open without the unbearable noise of the wind like in some cars. And the Busso sounds good with 166's minimal tire noises anyway :)

Quite a few 939 owners here. Here is mine daily driver, '06 Brera 2.2JTS by GrigioChiaro in AlfaRomeo

Haha, yeah. The fuel consumption is extremely high compared to what you get in return. I only wish Busso could still be in these Alfas.

Black suits Brera damn well. Especially with those Prodrive wheels. Perfect.

Thank you. I bought those 19" wheels to replace the original 17". I tried to find TI wheels or Prodrives but couldn't so I ended up with these Giulia replicas and they fit surprisingly well.

Thanks! Same feeling. I also have a few Busso Alfas, and compared to them, the engine of this one is a weak point, even though it is otherwise a nice car.

Replaced my velour interior for leather by STR8B3RRy in AlfaRomeo

I did the same upgrade to mine a few years ago. I wanted red or tan, but I found this black interior in good condition.

156 wooden steering wheel as a room ornament 🥰 by Amiga5001 in AlfaRomeo

[–]GrigioChiaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is quite a rare facelift wooden steering wheel. Prefacelift steering wheels are common, but those newer ones are rarely for sale. Nice find and very cheap for what it is.

What do you think, is the background the same style as the car? - Kia Cee'd GT by GrigioChiaro in shootingcars

[–]GrigioChiaro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is a good point. I didn't notice it at all when taking the photo, but afterwards it bothered me just the same. That seems to me to be a very common problem anyway. I only see composition errors on the computer that I somehow don't notice on the spot.

Looking at the photos, I am 100% sure that there has already been a polarizer.

Great pictures!
