Hiya folks!
Just wanted to share the love. One year ago my grief-giving 156 - in and out of the garage for a year - was keyed on every panel save the bonnet and boot. £1200 and 5 years no-claims lost later, I finally (and somewhat reluctantly) pulled the plug on Alfa and bought a 'sensible' car. If it wasn't breaking down it was vandalised by small minded fools and I had had enough. I vowed my head would rule my motoring heart from now on...
...so you 'll be pleased to know just this afternoon I paid a deposit on my new GT 1.8 Blackline!!!!
Heh! She arrive in December and I cannot wait! I know it sounds such a cliche, but as you know, once you've owned an Alfa there's no going back.
A thirty minute, unaccompanied testdrive around Nottingham today was the most joyous, feel-good motoring I've had in a year!
On a side note Chris Variava - the dealership - had seven Blackline 1.8s allocated. They were advertised locally last week. Five were sold yesterday, I got mine today, leaving one unsold in 48 hours. Great to see confidence in Alfa growing.
Cheers folks - might seem like pointless post of the year, but I can't stop grinning and wanted to share!
