Ditto
Love the way punters still comment. It's an almost every day occurance for me. I should keep a "comments book"
A 159 just doesn't cut the mustard for me (looks wise) - although I love it's justified battle cry to the faceless german dominance. I just don't want to have a 4 door
The 147/MyToe is too small.
The Brera ......... possibly
......the prodrive.....at a push. But only for the dynamics + incredible visual impact. The GM engine is depressingly soul-less (sorry!). I felt I was missing 50% of the Alfa "experience" when I took one out for a test drive.
In conclusion - I'd take Shiny's like a shot
- the 3.2, in combination with such a damn fine looking car, despite the ageing dynamics, is a total lurrrvve beast
If only I didn't have to travel so much for work
.....I'd have a Cerbera 4.5. I'm a sucker for punishment.........
Oh - and my owning experience has been absolutely peerless (perhaps I'm lucky??)
