Bye Bye Alfa Romeo, hello



Also, bye bye diesel Volvo C30, hello



In petrol this time, more power, more gadgets and "look at me" colour..lol

So, two completely impratical cars..Genius!!

or (judging by your recent lack of fish action) more accurately, not coming anywhere near a riverbank... :-)

nice wheels, have you tried putting a fishing rod in one of them...

I can get 4 piece rods in both..lol...

Actually, the GT is designed so that when the rear seats are folded down, you can fit 4 x track day wheels and tyres in the back!!

As for non fishy action, going to be the case for a while, £7k worth of legal fees to find sharpish and a daughter to look after who is going through a really really dark patch at the moment. Rather worried about her.

Rob, if that's your wifes new car, dude she needs a shave. She looked better in the Alfa, looked more like a woman and not a Russian mafia hitman.  :z7

If the Alfa, in 3 years, had not had 2 resprays, 3 lots of suspension (last lot upgraded to the new sports stuff, but still failed), 2 gear boxes, 7 wheel bearings and god knows how many niggles and problems, then there would be a Guiletta sitting outside because when they are working, they are very very good...but the rumours are not rumours in our experience.

What's more, the fact that the Alfa garage gives out anything but an Alfa as a courtesy car kinda suggests that even they are not sure they will get them back!..lol. Shame as it was a nice car.

Pity you had such a bum deal on the Mito, but then again.... it is a Fiat in drag and not a proper Alfa.... other than the garage habit, obviously :z7
When my Alfa was in the garage (one of several visits to be honest) the first loan car was a Fiat. Which broke. Ho hum  :roll

Very interested in that Toyota you've acquired, I've seen the Subaru original this week and it's a good looking motor. Now if only they'd fit a 'hot' turbo diesel engine in it then maybe Mrs Y could be persuaded :wink Or not  :shock

It's possible that my Alfa will be going in the spring to be replaced by..... ah well now, that would be telling  :z4 Let's say it will not be as practical as the 5 door hatch I currently own  :wink

:z3
