Alfa Romeo - Zsolt Zardai's Homepage

Alfa Romeo - Driven to be Different. Welcome to the Alfa Romeo part of my site. Hereinafter I would like to present my cars, the marque Alfa Romeo for short and my passion to these cars.
Alfa Romeo is an Italian marque, renowned for racing endeavours, especially during the thirties, sixties and most recently in the Touring Cars formula. These cars are now displayed in the historic museum of Alfa Romeo, in which I took a walk and shot some pictures.
Some pictures of other beautiful Alfa Romeo prototypes and cars from other owners have been arranged on this site too.

My Alfa Romeo cars

Since then I discovered the marque Alfa Romeo in 1996 I drive/drove the following models in chronological order.

Summer 1997 - July 1998

This car was my first Alfa Romeo. It was equipped with a wonderful 1600 ccm boxer engine. His sound and riding quality made me addicted, I didn't buy another marque than Alfa Romeo and I am interested in other Alfa Romeo new- and oldtimer.

July 1998 - November 1998

This was the next one, my first Alfa 156. While boxer engines were not produced any more, it was a Twin Spark in the same dimension. Short later I noticed the weight of the car is too high for that small capacity.

November 1998 - August 2000

While the capacity of the engine was not enough I decided to upgrade my car, I changed it for an Alfa 156 with a 2 Litre engine.

February 2000 - today

We bought for my girlfriend the same type of Alfa Romeo as my first one. This is the sportiest Alfa 145 with a 2 Litre engine.

March 2001 - March 2003

My next car was the actual newest model in 2000. I ordered it in red with a sequential gear box Selespeed.

March 2003 - today

My actual car is the sportiest Alfa 156 ever, named GTA. This is my first car with a V6 engine, xenon headlights, 6 speed etc. Also the first one as Sportwagon, the term used by Alfa Romeo for estate cars.

My Alfa Romeo miniatures
My collection of Alfa Romeo miniatures consists of more than 100 model cars, including diecast and hand built models in scale 1:43, hand built radio controlled cars in scale 1:10 and the largest challenge for a model car builder, a Pocher model in scale 1:8. These model cars originate from different ages of the glorious time of Alfa Romeo.
