Is there a newsgroup which would help me choosing which car to buy?

As above, but wanting a UK based group.

Cheers.

How can an alt group be based in a country? It's a global thing...

Have read some posts here before, and it appears to be international.
That is not the problem though, I want to find out what car would be best
for me on my budget (and not just the Alfa range) and so I want more general
advice first.

Thanks.

It was started by a guy from the UK (I believe) and is contributed to by
mostly Europeans and the majority of them are from the UK

Which I think is what the OP was driving at. He wanted to know who
contributes to it on the whole.

You could try uk.rec.cars.misc

Also, some web research on places like www.parkers.co.uk might help
you.
