Lads, I have been an alfa fan for years now and own a few, the alfa sud has always been my favourite car, however I took a drive in a friends Prius and even I have to admit that the comfort, quietness and admiring glances from the ladies have made me re-think my car. I never thought I would...

I mean, really - come on. I washed her yesterday, and after a quick jaunt on the M40 and M4 this morning, look at this filth:

Despite parking in the most Alfa-friendly parking space in the entire car park I still manage to attract idiots who open their doors straight on to mine causing dents / marks. So on the drive home from one of the above encounters over the weekend I had a "Dragon's Den" moment! Why not get...

Hi guys, I'm having a bit of trouble with my gtv and can't seem to diagnose the problem. The car drives well, still smooth and still sounds healthy, but it's just gone slow and I have no idea why. The car used to eat up golf 6r's and the like, but after a run with a friends STOCK runx RSI...
