Sorry, I'm a huge fan of BMWs but this one simply doesn't appeal to me.

Other than that, nice car.

If you don't like it you should probably keep your opinion to yourself.

Yep, I saw it from the front first, looked great, then I walked around the side. I threw my hands up but it was too late, the image was burned into my retina. A similar number of guys were standing around it with the pained expression I remember well from them seeing my Corsa. What has been seen cannot be unseen. Nice interior though, and very quiet for a diesel.

Ah well, at least nobody commented on how dirty the 156 is.

I didn't want to be rude...

I was gonna tag it with a sticker, but it wouldn't stick to the dirt, and I was dammed if I was cleaning your car to put it on!!!

So I settled for Marlows

Why the hell are people knocking Tall's car and alex's car?? They are both fine cars and as long as the person who owns his/her car is happy, why cause trouble on a forum just because you don't like it?

I'm all for people giving their opinion but when it borders on the point of trolling, leave it be!

That car simply does not photo well. Its a great looking car in the flesh. It has some nice details and for a change has the right extras. Someone put proper thought into speccing that car. I didn't see anyone with a pained expression looking at it. In fact anyone I spoke to had nothing but good things to say.I call bullcrap on that comment.

Alex allowed me drive it today at the meet, and if i could I'd have one in a heartbeat.

... I'd say Confab was joking about the pained expressions.

Over dramatisation yes, but still there wasn't anything even remotely like it.

We even had a Rover today:)

Sorry fella, I really don't like to be rude but you're in no position to slag off anybody's car, your car is a complete shed, totally uncared for, you don't deserve a car never mind an Alfa. I normally abide by the 'if you've nothing nice to say say nothing at all' but reading your posts above gave me a sour taste

Your Alfa made me sad when I saw it because I know it will self-destruct from neglect. I sold mine 3 months ago with 170,000 miles on it. The reason it got to 170k was because I looked after it and did to it what needed to be done WHEN it needed to be done.

If you wanted a shed to get you from A to B you should have bought an old Carina or something that's keep going forever.

For you to slag off somebody elses brand new car, that's worth 10 times what yours is is bang out if order.

Your car is a shed but nobody made comments about the dirt, the state of the bodywork and overall condition because it's your car.

@Confab, Gary ITR and CharlieCroker - drop the handbags lads.

Ladies please... Confabs car isn't the worst and neither is Alex's. In fact both of them are quite nice. That 1 series is growing on me and the Alfa well just fabulous..:D

johnos1984

The 1 series didn't appeal to me personally but I can't really complain too much given that mine left on a tow truck

I'm affraid the pink Honda which pulled up was really the worst car in the car park even if the twin blonde airbags looked well

FYP

Marlow

Think, I actually never posted pictures of the cars. Probably, because they are in the modified forum instead

Anyhow. Rectifying that now.

My current daily


It's a 525d, but only identifiable as diesel, because of the smokecloud under full throttle.

Then there's my weekend/track-tool



The winter-hack, which needs a bit tlc right now, as the fuel tank is rotten


Audi 200 Quattro Avant. It has the 2.2 turbo engine with 200 horsies and 4WD and is the only non-modified car I own.

There's this, which is an ongoing campervan conversion


And a peek at this years (and probably next years) project to rebuild


Keeps me busy anyhow.

And start up

Mr Benevolent

Of course it's a shed on the outside, it's only a grand worth of car. Suits me though. Detailing cars until they gleam is pointless in my book, it won't make them drive any better. As long as the interior is leather and the mechanical bits work as advertised I'm happy, and its a million miles better than a Corsa. Besides, it's an Alfa. It's a pleasure.

Slag away, it doesn't phase me in the least.

That 1 series is growing on me

The old one grew on me eventually, especially the saloon. I know it gets Noddy comments but it appeals to me.
