    Wow that can be a pretty expensive mistake.
    I was watching a few videos on YouTube where people total their cars.
    Must be some sickener

    Misjudged the height of a curb during the week. Was disgusted.

    But after a little bit of work and some TLC ...

    Have her up for sale but after missing out on another 640D, I gave her a wash today and I'm wondering would I be mad to sell.

    After nearly 4 weeks in the garage, a hefty repair bill and still lacking my complete trust, but it's time I best get to know the Alfa

    Sold mine a few years ago. Saw it in finglas about a year ago. 04 silver one.

    They are utterly gorgeous to look at imo but they are soft and require repair money.

    They really don't like cold winters. Mine had issues with Windows not winding down and locking mechanisms freezing in place meaning I couldn't close the door. Funny looking back on it but a pain at the time.

    Still beautiful machines though and can move too

    A year ago today. As you can see I look calm :pac:
    The track had just reopened after being closed for over an hour. While closed we went off and packed everything up so the car was literally fully laden, spare tyre belted in on the rear passenger seat and our next port of call was Erfurt.

    Can't wait to be back driving this thing on a regular basis. Role on July

    Prick

    At least I'm getting satisfaction about the number of times you whacked your head of the sunroof

    Currently in possession of this for a day or 2, 2nd time I've had one but first time I've clocked up 200+ miles on it (so far), that 9 speed auto box is fantastic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,848 ✭✭✭✭AndyBoBandy


    My missus is currently running our (my) e90 over the magical 250,000 kms mark!! It's either going to happen today or tomorrow, and I'm gutted it won't be me doing it!!

    I really like her a lot, but my trusty E39 was a tank compared to this. I can't really fault her, gorgeous looking car and a fine driver, but with regards to materials and finish it all feels a bit lightweight compared to my old yoke. I don't change very often, is that what all newer cars feel like?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,728 ✭✭✭✭CianRyan


    I drive a lot of cars these days, as you'd imagine.
    There are a few which have managed to still feel connected to the road, Mazda's ad Merc's spring to mind for not feeling like a computer simulator.
    Anything French or Korean I've been in has felt far to light in every department with little to no feed back.

    I'll happily stick with old bangers over all though. :)

    Hope not, I expect it to be around the 5-6k mark

    2.0 TDi, I do 212km a day to get to/from work, so while petrol would have been nice I cant justify it.
    Im not exactly driving it super efficiently at the moment as you can imagine ;)

    I'd be interested in hearing how you get on with it longer term, real world mpg, handling etc.
