which cars do you drive and why?
Early (98) phase 2 Spider. Black with red leather and manual hood. Car originally came from Denmark and has been registered by previous owners in Germany and France before finally wearing its Luxembourgish plates.

Are you a real passionate for Alfa Romeo?
Not unitl 6 months ago – I had never previously considered an Alfa, saw mine in the local newspaper and bought it the next day – was suckered by the looks!

Would you ever consider joining an Alfa Club or are you already a member of one?
At the moment no, just because living out here would mean never being able to attend meets etc. But the forum is great and I try to do my best to help out on it!

What do you like most about Alfas?
The sound and the looks.

What do you like least about Alfas?
The repair costs.

What would be your dream cars?
Ferrari 360, Maser QP/4200.

What car would you least like to drive?
Vauxhall Corsa (who buys these?)

What interests do you have outside of Alfas?
Flying (I have my PPL), most mechanical things, my PC, sport and travel.

Tell us something nobody knows about you. (E.g. special skill, ever been on TV, etc)
I have a Gold Blue Peter Badge

Do you have a party trick? If so what is it?
Nope, sadly not.

If you had £50,000 you had to spend in 72 hours, how would you choose to spend it?
Huge party for all my friends; dancing elephants, rivers of champagne that sort of thing.

HA! Now that would be telling.

Remember all that hoo-haa about selling BP badges on Ebay? Well I had mine on their and it was going for nearly £2k until the bods removed it - the gits!

(Got it for doing some charity bike rides when I was younger - raised about £15k riding Lands End John O' Groats etc

HI!

I'm English through and through. Grew up in East Yorkshire and went to Uni in Leeds - just so happens that im based out here in Luxembourg with my job.

Although having said that ill hopefully be moving to Holland in March so the car will then be wearing Dutch plates! I wish I could keep the Lux ones, so much rarer and exotic
