to save blocking up the boxermeet thread with drivel about the weekends handbag throwing, i thought i'd post here the outcome. easier to delete the whole thread rather than posts ;) it seems the thread i started "for sale/wanted chat" which would allow folks to find out if a part was suitable...

Recently I have seen a 04 plate black Gtv parked up on a busy street in my home town Bedford. I was curuious who the owner was but didn't so far find out. Yesterday, driving past in the dark I noticed some signwriting across the back window - odd.. Today in gold (yes GOLD !) lettering across...

Alfa Romeo : 166 3.0 Super Lusso Manual Sat Nav ( Dec 2000 "x") But top marks to the vendor for not hiding it.

Having read a few threads on the forum, it appears that on an overall experience, everyone seems to be getting great if not excellent service from their Alfa dealers. It's great to be in good hands so I would like as many people as possible to tell us about their experience, whether it is...
