Esh I am really getting worried about you pal,

I thought Pomeo was the best the dark grey.

BUT lacey in the silver is real class.

Stu the flats is a braw silver as was Douglas's (its a sunday) old one.

Scoobys is braw too ...get over the withdrawal symptoms do yourself a favour and pm scooby if hes daft enough to sell her .I would keep her and bus or train or motor bike or an old wee car to commute.

If you decide to go for scoobs we'll give you a waiver so you can take her south:cry: coz your NEEDS are exceptional.

i know they are!!!!! But i know if i buy a silver one a black one will come up! this guy in my last village had a black one and wow did it look good!

I saw Dugs old one on autotrader - and that does look real nice............and so does that one! So maybe im starting to like silver..........

no **** - thats is Scoobys car lol! I didnt know!.............Sorry Scoob just went to look at your add in the 4sale section as i didnt know u were selling it! Thats solved what i was thinking - its an honest car! How come you dont LPG it. A car with 35k and LPG youll be able to keep it for years and years

a17esh - You wanted to buy mine a year or so back whenit was not for sale, I remember the PM's. When did you begin to hate silver!?

Marks is a good buy at that mileage - Just along the road from me. I kept having to double take every time I saw his motor as I was sure I was driving the same, I was!

well but harsh when i say i hate it, when i looked at yours on Autotrader it looked bloody nice, and so does scoobs. But i know when i see a black one id just wished I had waited....Im really picky and im an idiot for it.......but you made me see sense.........3.0, black, manual (6spd) and 70k or lower - thats all i want! My heart goes week when i see a p-red or a black one! But id settle of d-grey or nv-blue!

I just found this thread.....lol.

The only reason i am selling it is that i do not think I will have the money to run it everyday at this time.

I have managed to get a job in IT sorting computers and the like. Currently and for the last 14 years i have filled shelves in Tesco! My spare time is usually spent fixing pc's for people to make up pretty poor wage.

LPG would be an option but I do not have £1500 lying around, or £150 for that matter, lol.

Whilst the money I will get from the new job will be a lot better, I still need to get trained up and until then I do not want the burden of greater debts hanging over me.

Cheap and nasty 106 diesel here I come!!:lol:

Stu Ive just bought 2 new batteries recently...As someone once said the world is not enough ..I'm like Esh If I had all the 166's I'd still want more.:lol:


Scooooob...................im telling you man! Keep it, itll be the biggest mistake you will ever make! 35k on a car- save up and get it LPG'd...........................Come on you know you want to!




Just go and have a look at your car, sit in it, look at the soft leather..........now just rev the engine and listen to the purr........the alloys.................Its not a car its an Italian Stallion...........you own one of the best cars on the road (ask clarkson)....and the dash............just look at it, it makes you wanna drive and drive and drive some more!

Now look at how smooth the bonnet line it, and how awesome the engine is and how HUGE the back box of the exhaust is - its something special! You could die tomorrow, you could lie and be happy you own a 166.......................besides your house it worth more......sell that an but a huge van with air beds.

Shut up Esh Shut Up You are selling it better than scooby....i am beginning to feel the need...No she'd cut my hands of and I wouldn't be able to drive the ones ive got.



They found out I currently own something bigger than a 1.1 and banned me.:cry:

Seriously though. I cleaned and polished the car on Sunday and I stood back after it all and just stood in admiration, it is an awesome motor!

However I have been in a similar situation before when I had a BMW 540i and had to travel to Bathgate everyday. It absolutely skinned me!!

Please do not add comparisons about BMW to Alfa, this is a far better car.

Ultimately it is a car though, and i swore to myself then I would not get in such a situation again.

TBH not had much interest apart from the threads on the alfa forums, so it will be in the autotrader next week.

Scooby Lad get your thinking cap on there must be a better solution.

In all the cars I've ever owner I have only sold 2 on.The rest I have had to take to the scrappy with a tear in my eye.Parting is such sweet sorrow when they have been such loyal trusty servants.

When I took my old A reg Orion Ghia which I had from brand new in 1984 to the scrappy in 1999 I was almost inconsoleable.BUT Mrs P was dancing a jig of joy at the entrance.The final straw was when I said to the scrappy...Now I dont want her going back on the road again...He said Dont worry son and proceeded to jump into the forklift drive over to the orion and plunge the lift right down into her roof.Well it was too much for me I had to leave....But Mrs P she was wetting herself with laughter...Isn't life cruel.

(Dont tell anyone but I also cry at sad movies....All the other Ps laugh at me...i dont care coz when they are watching me they miss the end of the film.)
Can ye no car share .They have even removed the tolls from the bridges to help you.
