Looking for a 159

After 20 years of Alfa abstinence.......

Hi,

Some 20 years after owning an Alfa Sprint (most unreliable, heartbreaking and brilliant fun car I ever owned) I don't think I can resist any longer.

Tomorrow I am going to view a 159 2.4JTM estate.

I think I might need saving from myself, but I'm not sure I want saving

Adrian.

Go for it! You know it makes sense. You'll feel like you've wasted the last 20 years.

You'll be fine its a modern car as long as you don't get a friday afternoon special (quite how a robot manages that I don't know).

Looking for a 159

Drove the car this afternoon for about 15 minutes, immediately felt at home.
Looks fantastic. I think I'm hooked
Looking to negotiate a cam belt and water pump change into the deal. Tyres seem to be wearing evenly. Any other things I should look out for?

Thanks,

Adrian.
