I'm new to this forum but have owned three Alfas in the past 6 years. One 2.0 TS GTV (R Reg), one 2.0 JTS GTV (54 reg) (not a v.inspiring engine) and now a 3.0 V6 Spider.
Also had a new TT (2.0 FSI Turbo) for the past 9 mnths (less character but a really great drive - steering doesn't give much away as to what's actually happening on the road surface though).
