.... would you want any parts? I have been offered a car that appears to be in reasonably good shape, that I did consider either fixing (I think it is a fairly simple fix) or failing that I may do the bad thing of breaking it. What is not so bad, is that if I don't go and get it - it will go...

Hi all. I wanted to post this here rather than on car zone or cbg as I would like my alfa to go to a good home. It seems you develop an emotional attachment to these cars. I have recently returned to Ireland [was working abroad for 18 months] and have a nice 02 1.8 156 available for a best...
