Is it a jealousy thing with non Alfa owners? Us Alfa folk know the pitfalls of ownership but were prepared to take the plunge anyway, in spite of the knockers.
I feel the Alfa marque is looked down upon, certainly by German car drivers. In company car days I have had Bee Emm, Merc, Audi, but can honestly say I have never been as passionate about anything more than Alfa.
This too goes for my old 166 which I thought was a very underated car and stunningly good looking, although perhaps an acquired taste.
Thanks for the kind words about the wagon guys.
