It was your typo made me laugh

The car (156 SW) I've seen several times now in and around Belfast. Not exactly subtle (nor tasteful IMO) but it does turn heads .

Series 3 Spider & Brera

Drove up to Derry from Belfast on Sat via the coast. Saw a load of Mitos out to Carrick and a fair few as far as Ballycastle but then just the odd Alfa from there on. On the usual run straight down the Mway I saw no Alfas - same as a few weeks ago. There seems to be a fair few around Belfast now, again mostly Mitos but some nice 159s too.

have seen quite a few Mitos and 159s about but also saw a couple of Breras between Bangor and Belfast this week...it may just be that I'm starting to notice them since I bought mine though!

Tell him to watch out at the next traffic light grand prix

Followed out of Bangor this evening by a GT and then passed a red Mito heading the other way.

I travel the Ravenhill every day to and from work but haven't seen the white GT yet. Is your brother inclined to wave at other Alfa owners Dave?

He doesn't even wave at me JonActually he's just moved out to Carryduff so mightn't be about Ravenhill so much.Bob,he aint the type to enjoy traffic light grand prixHis car is 170bhp.Basically a Cloverleaf dressed up as a runout model as the GT is (being) discontinued.Think it is only available in white now!

I noticed MS are selling a special edition GT SE, 170bhp, Bose and all the toys.

White seems to be the colour of choice. (or lack of)

Was £23 currently £19 odds.

Lot of car for the money!
