No, he is not from BAT. We met on the Ottawa Driving Enthusiasts FB group. He offered to do the photos for free, mainly because he said he had never seen, nor will ever likely see again, my car.

He will be getting full credit on the listing, and a case of beer from me.

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

That is awesome. Helps him build a portfolio of cool cars and hopefully you get big money.

Those are nice artistic pics.   :thumbup: If I was evaluating a car I want photos of the underneath and under panels with flour light so I can evluate the condion of the body etc. I assume you have those for the site?

Yeah, excellent screensaver shots....not great for evaluating the condition of the car, but I'll assume to took a bunch of well-lit detailed shots for the listing.

I am doing those right now. Sunny day, car is getting its closeups of all the body panels, underside, interior, etc. I am trying to portray every single conceivable angle. Nothing to hide.

Looking forward to seeing your posting on BaT, Chaos.  Not that I want you to have to sell it, but I really like the car and will enjoy the pics.

This BAT business have prompted me to upload my very first Youtube videos.  :rofl2:

I would assume hearing the car starting, reeving, and going through the gears would be a selling point for a car that is basically all about the engine.

If you were really doing 80 in a 60 zone, I'd maybe redo the video before posting.   ;)

Sounds amazing!

Well it is a well known fact that the Alfa speedometers can be very optimistic. I probably was going 40.

You know that Alpha sorry Alfa exhaust reminded me of my old Contour SVT's note. Not surprising i guess since they are both 2.5 V6s.

Good luck with the sale.

I'd like to see more comparisons between an Alfa and a Contour, please.  That'll be sure to please Chaos!!  ;D  :o
