Does your Alfa make you smile

I know mine does Had a bit of a **** time at the moment from last week. But taking my car out today for a drive really cheered me up a good bit I don't think anything else cheered me up so much. From the sound the engine makes the seats the stereo it's looks it's like talking to an old friend again. I loved it.

Dunno why I posted but I said I would share.

Re: Does your Alfa make you smile

Lol, my cam variator and lower control arms are all over the place but still loving it. But what it did was cheer me up and make me forget everything that has happened which no amount of money can do.

Re: Does your Alfa make you smile

Everyday! Doesn't matter if I can only doing something like going to the shops (only 2 miles away) or going to work (15 miles) or driving to London/Plymouth/West Wales, she is a hoot and always makes me smile, be it the looks on peoples faces, the sheer pick up and go or the fact I am driving a fracking Alfa!

Cheers Damien for the thread

Re: Does your Alfa make you smile

Mine makes me smile when I think about it, let alone when I'm sat in it or drive it. Look back? I parked it on top of the multi-stroey at work so I could admire it from the office and point it out to everyone

Cheers,

Nigel
