Hope it's a good 'un. Quite like it in green personally but Alfas are rather colour sensitive when it comes to price.

I'm suprised you'd want another GTA after you told me about the fuel economy on your 147, wouldn't say no if I was offered one.

I can only drive one at a time! Road tax would quickly become an issue though.

I've always had a liking for big saloons but in any case I'm not allowed to have another car - boss's orders. Asked the Mrs if she'd like it but it wouldn't matter what car it was , the green would be the death of it. Her mother didn't like green either...

My mum always said Green was unlucky, I've been told I'm not allowed another car at the moment either, although I have been given the go ahead to have a GTV, only because she knows I can't afford to run that and the 147.

I quite like the green, there is a 156 in that colour around my way and in the flesh it is rather nice, the fact that one is a GTA is muchos better

My Nan and Mum are both superstitious about green being unlucky.. So no chance at all of me having a green car, even if it was free..

I don't mind it too much myself, but since my Nan will be living with me soon, I guess I better get used to it

How's everyone's weekend going? I had a hell of a hang over yesterday.
I even learned something new.. If you send text messages when drunk, when sober, you'll regret it

Morning Em, I had a stinker yesterday morning too, 2 btls of rose does that to you so I can't use any excuses!

Yeah, don't text & drink, you'll only regret it in the long run

Very true Alimac

Well I spent the morning and afternoon shopping for clothes for my son, with my ex husband .. Oh the joy.. Funny thing is.. After being divorced 7 years we actually like each other again.. He was very insightful to how I behave in some situations, and was even giving me relationship advice
Pus the new Indiana Jones movie was great

I can't believe the weekend has flown by so quickly, and I'm looking forward to Monday - Going to de-badge my baby tomorrow.. Any tips very welcome.. I was thinking REALLY hot water, and dental floss.

Em

Some people recommend Tar remover, haven't ever debadged so I can't offer an opinion.

Not seen the new Indi film, is on my to watch list along with loads of other stuff, waiting for the 'Wanted' film to come out this week, saw the trailer late last year, looking good to me.

Wanted is the next one to see.. Looks really good..

Couldn't wait till tomorrow so sat on the floor outside in the wind.. Managed to get all 3 badges off with no problem at all.. So I took the mobile aerial off as well.. The backs looking much much cleaner now .. mind you did end up breaking my thumb nail getting the sticky stuff off.. But who cares it looks good

Any ideas what else I can do to the car myself...

Absolutely no idea what you could do next, they say clay detailing is worth every penny, at £30 odd a pop I'd expect it to be.

I'd be tempted to have mine done after the respray but the seagulls seems to enjoy the target practice to much at the moment.

Hi all just thought i should pop in and catch up with the South West gossip

Just reading up on clay detailing now

Have added lots of goodies to my watch list in eBay.. Thinking of having a mesh grill, under bumper, and beside fog lights.
Plus want to change the rear window handles to chrome, as well as the locking pins.

I was thinking of adding a small spoiler.. Anyone seen a 156 with one?? Opinions please

Hi Ray

Hi Em how are you today ?
