It is with sadness that I will soon be selling my 159 Sportwagon. I bought her 1st September 2010 aged 2 and a half- and she was my first Alfa. The first 5 MOTs cost me a pair of wipers in total and the services a single spring in the same time. She is now on 138,000 miles and will be 10 in...

Just bought another v6 Brera from an Alfa specialist in Accrington. It's metallic grey with red leather and cream trim, supplied and maintained by Mangoletsi so may well have belonged to someone on here. I missed the previous one as soon as I'd part exchanged it for a Giulietta QV two years...

Hey guys - Just want to give a shout out to Steve at APS Alloy Refurbishers, South Wales. He's done a great job on my 166 Speedline Horseshoe wheels, on the outside and the inside! He even fitted my new tyres, with valves and balancing for free! No powder coating here, just some nice grafting...

Hi I don't have Sat nav fitted to my Giulietta so the few times I do need it I use an app on my mobile, not always ideal as I can never find the best place for it so the other day I had a bit of a brain wave.[doesn't happen often!] Never really use the cubby on top dash except for Sun glasses &...
