Mine is a 96, first of the KA9 models.

Well for a daily driver its everything I want; big, auto and barge-y.

Plus tax and insurance combined total a fraction of tax alone on the Legend.

Of course, I will really miss all the toys in the Legend.

A number of times more than the car is worth. Thousands, with a large excess.

Aahh to be young and naiive again! :P

We all had to start off in crap cars and take the hit for a few years before we got into the cars we really wanted to be driving. I suggest you do the same otherwise you'll be paying €6000 to insure a glanza that's worth €1500.

'box trouble, plus it needs a few bits for NCT.

Just putting it away for a while.

So I was sent a picture of more or less what my refurb'd wheel will look like:

Mine will not have those silly looking arrows, nor the blue/green stitching. The stitching will be light blue/dark blue/red as per M cars. Looks bad ass.

Does look good.

the stupid car parts place sent a replacement pulley for the gtv.

Only thing is the part they sent is for a gt

Had to buy the oem part too as they don't do aftermarket, so you'd think alfa would get the fecking part right!

Just spotted this dude in Traffic Cops, skip to 11:00 and see what he blows on the intoxilyzer. :O

Pm sent.

I have a contact for OEM Alfa parts if anyone needs it.

For all you 'haters' out there, Alfa parts are really hard to source coz they are so rarely needed :P

Saw and nearly bought this today. 1 owner from new.
I'm going to see it in a bit more depth on Sunday after the Ventora. I don't know exactly what I'll do with this.

Well, I will have to get rid of the Civic before Sunday to make room. But, sometimes it gets a bit hectic, I don't even know why I still have the Civic!
I'll just have the Wolseley, Ventora and this. Plus the Legend, put away for when I put it on the road again. I sold the Beetle a while ago because I literally have not done a thing to it since I bought it, not even sat in it and started it. Impulse bits like that are **** after the novelty wears off. I wouldn't call myself loaded either...just an addict :pac:

I sold it on the 27th, only had it 3 days. Its not very much my cup of tae.

I really like the whole classic thing, meeting other genuine enthusiasts is great, I chatted to the owner of the Standard for an hour before looking at it. He has a Datsun Micra apparently.

And afterwards I was talking to the driver of an MG Midget at traffic lights on Collins avenue this evening in the Wolseley.
