farewell

So, it looks like my Alfa experience is coming to an end. Made a very snap decision this afternoon to follow what I enjoy and get more into track days and proper driving. The QF has been by far the best car I've ever owned and surprisingly the cheapest to run (on the road). In all honesty I am...

We said goodbye to our 156 V6 yesterday. So I thought I'd post one last thread dedicated to her. :( Goodbye, we had a lot of fun.

Announced on Newsnight tonight, Ford are getting ready to sell Jaguar & Landrover. They are expecting much interest from 'Private Equity' AKA asset strippers. Oh well, looks like we're going to have to live with even more blandmobiles.

My beauty goes tomorrow after a short lived affair, nothing personal about the car but needs have changed. The Alfa passion is still there and will be checking in to see what's going on and will be an owner again shortly no doubt. Thanks to anyone who's given advice, understood my pain at times...

After 8 years, 5 Alfas and about 200k miles I’m about to become Alfaless again :( . No big dramas causing the defection, just a genuine reason to change, ie I fancy a change from my current 156, and there not being an Alfa that fits my needs ie newish but not new, (done that three times, not...

Quicker than I expected, I was ready to wait for a few months (as the market in Australia is not good)... So until the next time God Speed in your travels... Some bits for sale... All in AU $$$ H&R 10mm Spacer kit = $500 Over.RACING Ti FSB = $350 ASSO CF Air-intake = $200 Crash.

Not to this site but to my Bella. Taking delivery of my new company car tomorrow. I'm sorry to say it won't be an Alfa. The lease companies used by our lot can't get me a decent quote. So i've gone for (as i almost hand my head in shame :( ) a BMW 120d M Sport. Yes, not only have i gone...

Well, I've finally done it, sold my Alfa 145 so I won't be frequenting this forum any more :( (I've replaced it with an RX-7 and a Citroen Xantia). I'd just like to say that it's a great forum, and who knows, I might find I miss my old 145 so much that I have to return to the fold! Adios, Mave...

It's been lovely having you here. :( If only they'd made the JTDs rhd. :rolleyes: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/CARS/news/news-centre/news-template.jsp?dbid=30755

:( Today is a sad day. I sold my bella for a 2002 1.8T20v(180hp) Seat Toledo. After 100k miles my 1.6TS started to feel very tired, oil consumption has gone skyhigh ( 1 liter in 500miles!!) and the variator failed again!!. I got a very good deal on the toledo and it has only 25k miles on the...

Well it looks like as next Monday I will no longer be an Alfa owner. It has been exhilirating as well as very frustrating at times. The car (147 Selespeed) is a great performer and everything associated with the ride is great. But the many niggles including selespeed problems amongst others...

:rolleyes: Well it's due tomorrow,the 155 I've been pedalling about in since 2000 is being part exed against a gorgeous rosso red GTV TS. :eek: :o Being the sad git that I am I nipped off to the countryside today to get some "last day" photo's for posterity,I've enjoyed every trip in the 155...

Gentlemen, it lasted almost 2 years, it was fun, it was good. I am sad to say that after two days arguing with my wife, the babe will NOT be repaired, therefore another 155 will go to the great 155 heaven. I will try to get it sold, but it will be hard. If i get a buyer, i will give him this...

My dear Nuvola will be gone within two days, so it was time to do the final cleaning. Five years and still shining so brightly, isn't she lovely?
