Collected my 156 Yesterday, Yippee!!!
Hi all,
I made my choice after 3 years in the making! My shortlist included a BMW 728, BMW 523, Honda Accord, Saab 95, Mondeo Ghia X and of course Alfa Romeo 156.
I was scouring the Autotrader website for my dad and came across a black, 51 Reg, 2.0 TS Veloce with Natural Leather. It was love at first sight. I ignored the fact it was a manual (I wanted an auto) and put the deposit down the same day(Wednesday).
Three days later I finally took ownership of the aforementioned sex-symbol and I haven't stopped laughing since.
I'm miserable when I'm indoors and now even find silly excuses to take 'her' out. I've even deliberately forgotten things just so I can make an extra trip.
Speak to you soon!

I use.... 'Just nipping out to get milk' every Sunday morning. Half hour blast around on a Sunday morning is priceless. Keep smiling it gets even better.
