If you're passing ...
Anyone passing Stoke wanting to see a lovely 8C, Platts have one in there showroom. Looks very nice.
Can't help thinking it's just a Ferrari with an Alfa badge, so I wouldn't want one   |

Re: If you're passing ...
If anything it's more maserati. 
I love it. Just wish they were affordable... oh well 10 years... £20,000?  (unlikely) |

Looking around it, there are sooo many Ferrari cues, not so much Maserati. But it's just gorgeous anyway!

That's what the hyper global interweb is for, Bazza
It's in Longton, just off the A50. If you're around at about 5:30 I'll be there picking up a black Spider LE. So say hello! |

Thanks for that.
The new Ferrari California is apparently just a rehashed 8c considering what a good job they made of the Alfa.
The noise i think impressed me most about the Alfa, it sounds so forumla one its un canny! |

Re: If you're passing ...
Rob, yeah that's a great stretch of road. First drive of the GTA was along there. I think that's Lee's favourite demonstrator run! |
