Nems' Alfa?

Unknown member · May 15, 2003

After much deliberation, I have made a decision.
I have to get back into an Alfa R.
Rick, it's all your bloody fault!

Could do something with my Corolla. Yeah it goes like stink and can blat anything this side of the GTA's and 3.0 GTV's, but it's a bloody washing machine isn't it.

I could get a used 145, but it would have to be a second car and that means lots more £££'s.

I have ordered the brochure for the 156 Sportswagon, which I will then leave casually lying around for the missus to have a fit on a scale that will make Krakatoa look like a fart.

156 Sportswagon, Dark metallic blue, or Africa grey.
2.4JTD 150bhp interior facelift model.
Nearly new (fat chance)

Veloce or Lusso? Whats the diff?

I am going to try really hard and use every trick in the book, but she's going to go bloody ape5hit!
...and might throw the mother of all spanners in the works.

I'm just going to have another little cry now

<hr /></blockquote>I accept no responsibility for the affects my excellent taste has on other people.

Veloce is sporty, Lusso is luxury, but you can mix the options to end up with a lusso veloce anyway!! Stuff like sports suspension is standard on veloce, but optional on Lusso. Lusso has cruise control, but it is optional on veloce. La dee la etc.
Mine is a Veloce with bits on. And Turismo dials for some reason!!

I am cooking myself a big plate full of bacon and eggs and toast to cheer myself up.

Sorry for using the word bloody so bloody much

Great news and good luck with the missus.

Maybe you will have the same luck as my brother when he wanted to order a Cayenne Turbo. He spent a whole day for making excuses and reasons to tell his wife why they needed the Cayenne Turbo. After hours and hours of thinking and looking for motivations he finally got the nerve to talk to his wife and it went something like this:

Brother: I think we have to opt for the Cayenne Turbo?
His wife: Is it faster then the X5?
Brother: Yes
His wife: OK, go for it

That is certainly not the conversation he expected

BTW the Cayenne has been delivered last Saturday

Back on topic: go for the Sportwagon in Africa grey

I'd rather have a Cayenne Turbo, but that is not a realistic option.

Rick (you ****)

1 Aaaaargh - white wheels and no leather

2 Tiddly 15"ers

wink

Eve · May 15, 2003

Just tell her it's her car... that worked for Wim. wink

RicksAlfas · May 15, 2003

Nem!

1 - THIS VEHICLE CAN BE FITTED WITH A CHOICE OF ALLOY WHEELS, SHOWN ARE 17" WHITE SPORT ALLOY'S. Didn't know you wanted leather

2 - They are the new 16s. You could do a deal on some or 17 s you big wuss.

Good prices though!! wink

Guest · May 15, 2003

Black or tan leather. Red is for pimps.

Rick, are those Recaros in yours? Them I like!

Guest · May 15, 2003

Now trying to find a Euro import or nearly new 156 GTA Sportwagon! **** it - might as well go the whole hog!

RicksAlfas · May 15, 2003

www.monzasport.co.uk have some I think

laughing laughing You're going to get a massive bollocking from Mrs Nem laughing laughing

Guest · May 15, 2003

If she says yes, I don't care how big the bollocking is...maybe I should give everyone here her email address at work...but then again, better not...she'll know I've been looking at Halle Berrys jugs and then no Alfa and no sex for at least 10 years.

wink

RicksAlfas · May 15, 2003

Another JTD, this time grey, with leather. wink
Ignore the "details at the bottom". They are default incorrect specs....

Link, but no pic

Late edit - if its May 2002, it won't be a facelift car.

I'll get me coat.

Guest · May 15, 2003

Piddly wheels again, but price is OK and it's got leather...but in drab grey.

Monza have nothing 'cept a silver saloon at £21500, but it's a left hooker and not a SW.

wink

<hr /></blockquote>That's good news Nemmy!!!

I knew you would end with Alfa! That's the way to go!!

And good strategy with the missus btw wink
Why not do a special photograph section with her too? The missus and the Alfa wink

Guest · May 15, 2003

Found a UK car 156 JTD Veloce with leather and metallic for under £17500 OTR. Not bad.

Steady Hugo, I'm not there yet!

Nemmy dear when will you ever learn?
In the spce of a little over a year you've
1. Bought a 147
2. Sold a 147
3. Bought a tonka toyota
4. sold a tonka toyota
5. Bought a house in the middle of the moors
6. Nearly bought a caravan (or did you?)
7. Dismissed the above idea
8. Bought a sewing machine
9. Bought a hot spicy puppy (unlike g who bought a rusty French puppy)
You are now thinking of selling said sewing machine and buying another (more expensive) Alfa. All this while claiming only to work one weekend per annum! Mrs Nemesis is clearly:
a. A saint
b. Off her trolley
c. The heir to the Getty fortunes
d. All of the above.

Go for it! (and while you're at it can I have a dinghy please)

Guest · May 15, 2003

Nervous, I like to duck, I like to dive, I like to wheel, I like to deal, what else can I say? When I get an idea in my head, I just have to do it...I don't let little things like only earning 30 pence a year stop me!

When I told 'her' that I was thinking of possibly, maybe selling the Tonka Rav4, at first she was silent and then she looked me in the eye and said in a voice that could cut steel "It's a disease...you're sick" and then didn't speak for several hours.

I am going to have to come up with a plan so cunning that you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

<hr /></blockquote>Buy the 'Wagon but tell her you've won it in a competition.

Sell the Tumbledryer and buy her a token of your love - ring/watch/necklace lahlahlah

Go for romantic hols in log cabin in Brid (or similar) and all will be well.

wink

Guest · May 15, 2003

Nem - "Yes Dear, I won the Alfa in a competition and lost the Toyota in a bet with a garage".

Mrs Nem - "Here are some divorce papers. You need to sign here and here".

She isn't one for trinkets and baubles. This weekend in Northumberland I shall hatch a cunning plan of wit and deception.

Currently been working on "that car seat is buggering up my back something chronic...Alfas have great seats".

wink
