Nice review online by the Britain's best loved and read newspaper, "The Sun". https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/2936448/we-review-the-191mph-alfa-romeo-giulia-quadrifoglio-a-ferrari-with-an-alfa-badge/ They are convinced its a Ferrari with an Alfa badge but rate the car very much. This review...

Hi All A sorry day in my life last Thursday when I called my local Alfa Garage in Newcastle and they have told me that there is probably a delay of at least 18 months to buy a Giulia! Simply not good enough and when I hear that my cousin in Florence is picking up his new Giulia on the 1st...

I just noticed that the centre dash display (above the temp/clock/fuel gauges) on my 156 today reads "Wed 2 Feb". But today is a Tuesday! I checked and the date is definitely set to 02-02-2016 so it didn't jump to a wrong year. It's a Bosch unit, as far as I know. Germans... :devious: :lol...

I hate using the Daily Mail as a link but the Times article is paywalled. Seems Porsche have inserted a throttle response delay of up to 2.5s at around 30mph in order to meet noise pollution test limits. Several drivers reported near accidents when the car didn't respond as expected. Porsche...

Hey there, I'm completely new to the world of Alfa ownership. I've driven BMW, Audi, Mercedes for years and finally got bored of all of them. I'd always wanted an Alfa so when the opportunity came up recently I bought myself a 2007 GT 2.0 JTS. I've had a new clutch fitted, cam belt/water pump...

Just got home after a few nice holidays nearby Koblenz, Germany. Lately, I had to let go my beloved 1996 1.6 146. Last year made with that wonderful boxer engine. Sounded sweet and was always reliable. So, I went and bought a 2007 147 sporting that 2.0 Twin Spark engine, as I couldn't fint a...
