Same crap, different naming. Cellphone is actually a quite more accurate name for it. Mobile phones could be a lot of things.

Germans call them "Handy". Now that's completely off the grid.

Besides that, I'm a lingual spastic. I do it in 5 languages though.

Extended test drive booked in the Alfa GT in Wicklow this evening

Not sure if I'm mental and have gone off the deep end or not

Alfa?
Dude, seriously?

I really don't care about any of this "god bless the Alfa" crap and I am sure I will have 166man and Confab on my back here but you just suffered a massive loss and a spate of serious failures and ruined weekends, and you're looking at a bloody Alfa ????? :eek:

There is no mainstream car I like and I'm convinced anything I buy will fall apart anyway

Well, my gearbox is gone and I've spent €350 on fixing the cutting out, so I can't say many positive things about Alfas, frankly. John, buy yerself a Z4 or MX-5 or something.

True.

I've slowly become what I used to hate. All car makers are sh1te.

There's nothing infalable out there. We all know that. But Alfas?

I've driven Bimmers for years, on my 5th/6th one now and although more will go wrong and they are more expensive to fix than Jap scrap I've never had anything go majorly wrong with any of them *touches wood*. I had two Audi's in between, one was a dream but the other nearly broke me.

My theory on this is simple.

Cars are machines. Machines break. Some more often than others. Some cost more to fix than others. When they are fixed we are happy again.

I know the feeling, my E34 remains the dearest car I've bought to this day, bought for €600, spent €250 to chase an electric problem, €160 for an ICV, €40 on 2 sensors, usual service items and it still refuses to work right :mad: It also needs a UJ, all suspension bushes (inc the dreaded rear subframe mounts), drivers door lock mechanism, sump gasket, possible head gasket, new coolant hoses again, pixels are on the blink and 4 new tyres. I'm sure I've missed some bits and bobs too

Don't forget me, I freakin love waking up to see that shiny 166 parked at the front of my house Maybe there's a car to consider...

I love playing bus bingo with the rambler card, I get a great buzz from that :pac:

I'll find out in a few hours if it works out cheaper to park in RCSI as opposed to using the rambler card on wednesdays... Anything to avoid the bus! (even if I love going round the city on the busses )

And we have an answer Cost €5 for 3 hours and a bit in the RCSI car park. Worth it!!!
