Mooney Hello....

Hi,

Put a deposit down last week on a 145 Cloverleaf, which I should collect this week.

I saw it, I drove it .

This will be my first Alfa and I am buying against the advice of everyone I know and possibly love. My wife is however being supportive, only because the alternative was a motorbike and she must love me as she obviously doesn't want me to die.

I will hopefully be able to get the answers to any of the problems I will inevitably have with my new purchase on this forum.

I've had a browse and was impressed by the friendly and knowledgable bunch of people on here. That's my ass kissing done, I thank you and good night!

Hello and welcome! I hope there won't be any inevitable problems, but you sure are in the right place to get an answer should you get any!

Re: Hello....

Finally got my car today. It had to go to the local Alfa dealer to have the airbag light sorted, dodgy connection and the part had to be ordered.

I just took it for a blast round the lanes to see what it can really do... OMG!!

I was taking it easy as it's wet as well (on the corners anyway), it was worth the wait.

A bit different to my Escort diesel estate that I traded in! LOL!
