    The current model is a smashing looking motor especially the estate but the older ones look kak imo.

    The comfort and interior space more than make up for it.

    Didn't even get it on the road, my insurance wouldn't cover it and I was lying to myself about not needing back seats.
    Got some pretty outstanding quotes for something much faster and tail happy so as long as I can sort out more work soon it'll all play out better than having the Mazda.

    It will be as to see it go all the same, I do love the car.

    Should be on my dad's insurance by the end of the week, I'll book my test then. :p

    Having the test brings my insurance down to €1500 and a 2l turbo, smashing that 200bhp barrier. :D

    I know you're young but an era usually lasts a bit longer than a couple of months. :p

    Would I be mad to think that my motor seems to run smoother and even pull better than ever after changing just the belts/Pulleys and tensioners? Everything seems smoother now!

    I'm
    Sitting in Aberdeen airport right beside father Damo and Eoin McLove from father ted. I think this trumps the time Keith Duffy turned to me in the same airport to tell me he had the scitters.

    Saw an alpha 156 but the reg was 2010????? I saw it properly as it was stopped in traffic lights and the badge clearly said 156

    Could that be right?

    Theres a few 04 registered ALFA's out there that are pre facelift so could be one that was built but never registered until 2010.

    I know of a 166 thats being broken at the moment. It was built in 2001, but reg plate is 2004.
    Though the last 156 was produced in 2005 (Q4 was built until 2007) so its plausible?

    What way were the lights?
