Hey Everybody,

After much deliberation I decided to bite the bullet and buy an Alfa. Basically because they stand out amongst all the other run of the mill cars out there and everybody I spoke to who has owned an Alfa has said its the most fun car they've had even it it was unreliable.

I went for a 147 JTDM 16V Lusso as I decided that for all the obvious diesel reasons. In true Alfa style I managed to blow the lower turbo hose driving back from the dealers :cheese: Oh well a new set of silicones later and I was up and running.

Welcome to AO. :)
BTW I disagree on the unreliable. They are as 'un' reliable as the next car in my experience :thumbs:

Well I certainly hope so. I figured that the time to own an Alfa is while I'm young and can afford it if things do go wrong. :D

Never had any reliability issues with mine :thumbs:

Welcome aboard mate!

Now that I'm here: allow me to draw your attention to the Folding at Home initiative some of us AO'ers are involved in. Maybe you can spare us a few CPU cycles :)

Whatever you do: enjoy your stay!
