Re: Top Gear Alfa Special

the producers made it look negative and the guys made it look positive and mainly they looked like they enjoyed themselves (which is the main thing) so a bit of both i guess to that poll!

Re: Top Gear Alfa Special

I'm glad that the general public's impression of Alfas are wrong and T.G didn't in my opinion dispel those myths by buying bangers, but hey if I wanted to be like everybody else, I'd buy a Ford or a beemer like my work mates who laughed at me when I brought my Alfa and were speechless with it's charm style and performance...

Re: Top Gear Alfa Special

In a way I like it that people like Alfa's, but have a enough of a negative image about them that they don't want to buy one themselves. It brings the prices down and keeps them exclusive at the same time
