beginner

Gentlemen, I'd like to acquire a motorcycle soon. Since there are no Alfas presently that an academic can afford to further his relationship with acceleration, I'd like to get a bike which will be OK for a fast learner for about two or three years. My budget is R30 to 40 000 but less is better...

There's a trackday at Oulton on Friday the 18th October - and it is followed by a 20 minute 'beginners' session, for people new to track days. I'll be going on the latter, so I wondered if a) Anyone else wanted to do the same. or b) Anyone was going on the full trackday and wanted to say...

Can anyone give me the name of a good product/ method for removing or improving my 156 black paint? It's truly knackered! Whatever isn't stone chipped is scratched! It should probably just be re-sprayed but I can't afford that. :-/ I have g3 paste, some muk-off miracle shine that was for my...

Well what can i say - first MOT in my ownership and she passed first time with no remedial work. Must buy a lottery ticket while i'm on a roll! OK, i had to rewire the headlamp washers and weld up a cracked manifold the day before - but still, you've got to say that's pretty impressive for a 12...

OK....so with some research, and help from you good folk, I've got my new laptop bought.......but what about anti virus software? A friend recommends something called 'Antivir' which is free?? What would you advise?

Morning all I am looking to buy a double Din head unit for my Alfa GT. I have read the various installation posts which are superb by the way but to be honest lost me after the first few paragraphs :wow: Anyway I would not be in a position to try the installation stuff myself (Unless i wanted...

In the past I've never been one for trying much effort at cleaning my car, when I get a new one I tend to wash for a couple of weeks before leaving it in the hands of the local supermarket carpark. Yet a combination of the arrival of the 147 and too much time spent reading these boards has got...

Right, so I've got all the stuff but can't seem to connect to the car. I've searched for this all over and can find no definitive post on the whole connection issue. I keep getting "Error Exception EEFFACE" I really need to know what everything should be set to and what order to do everything...

Hello Just about to take delivery of a new 147 on 1st Sept. First time Alfa driver (have had Fiats and Renaults up until now, fancied a change) so all advice welcome.

I've be negotiating the purchase contract with my local independent dealer but I have a few reservations about signing on the line. A little bit of background information at this point would help you all understand my position. I live in Germany, Leipzig (World Cup city!) so getting hold of...

Hi Folks, What an enthusiastic bunch you are when it comes to these cars. I figure you people are the best to ask about this sort of thing: basically, I've always loved Alfas and have my heart set on a 155 sometime early in the new year (trip to Australia lined up first). I just want to know...
