Thing is though Ray, I don't think he slags them off. He is honest, sometimes too honest. But with that honesty somes the same thing everytime with an Alfa.... he loves them. Period.

I spent too long washing my car and missed the first few minutes of top gear so only just caught the "...but I don't care about any of its faults" bit. Were they not that struck with the handling?

Haven't watched it yet, couldn't find the aerial cable for the tele last night , aiming to catch the repeat.

I think he's decided to keep it for a bit - the car market is awful at the moment. Haven't had any calls about my old 156 either

Re: AOSW Chillout Lounge - Let's chat!

hehe he looks even cuter than in the first picture you showed us of him...

Not as good as what wandered in to my Dad's post office today though, a homing pigeon. I was in my room upstairs and I heard him coming so I came out and my dad had a pigeon in his hands...he used to have them as a child so he knew how to handle them and everything but I couldn't belive my eyes when I saw it.

Just one of things at the moment, I've had my 147 queitly up for sale, I've only had 2 calls in 3 months, decided I need at least a 2.0L after last week a Polo GTI kept up with me.

So have you got the 156 SORN?
