Reason nunber 187 why I love my Alfa
Was downtown the other night waiting at traffic lights, minding my own
business and a Celica rolled up next to me with 2 kiddies in it, revving and doing other things that jap-car owners have to do to get noticed. I was more than happy to oblige, of course so I force fed them some dust and never saw them again lol I love my 156 |

Unlikey to be driven by that kind of boy racer IMHO And all the reviews I've read / seen, when practicality is taken out of the equation, the RX8 and GT are damn close -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk |

I'm sorry but all this Japcrap that's going about, really fails to impress
me... I just picture these Imprezzas and Evos and Mazdas being pushed off a conveyor belt and into a box. Not only that, but they all look like taxis to me... Same as souped up Clios, Novas, Saxos and all the other townie choices... Matchbox cars Granted they have engines that push the car about pretty fast, but where's the character? Where's the sexy curves inside? In the 1500 miles I've done so far, I've seen ONE other 156 and ONE GTA. All the others are Subaru and Mitsubishi that have so many wings and spoilers on them, they should stick some NASA stickers on the sides and paint them white lol Apologies to any jap car owners, this is just one man's opinion |

All the others are Subaru and > Mitsubishi that have so many wings and spoilers on them, they should stick > some NASA stickers on the sides and paint them white lol > > Apologies to any jap car owners, this is just one man's opinion I regularly see a slightly 'worn' 155 Widebody and a 33 16v on my commute, without fail we flash / wave at each other. Doesn't happen if you're driving Jap-crap. (Having said that, the Impreza is, mechanically, the car that the 33 16v P4 should have been) This is why I love my quirky Italian cars - doesn't _have_ to be an Alfa, I've had a flirtation with Fiat, and wouldn't mind a Lancia Beta Volumex. In fact, once I've got the German heap of ****e running again, I plan to flog it and track down a cheap 124 Spider again. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 VW Golf GL Cabrio - Alfa 75 TS - Alfa 155 TS Lusso - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |
