Lovely car that Alfa.

With so much sentimental attachment you can never sell it! Good job it’s a timeless design. Well wear.

That will probably be the most sentimental car posted here.
I hope she serves you, George and his family well.
Well done to you.

Cheers, I haven’t really been active on Boards for a long time - I obviously must know who you are, or close to eh?

Really lovely story. Sorry to hear of the death but the car will be something to always remember him by and you should also have a bit of fun with it.

I chatted to him a few times but never had the pleasure of face to face.
I was part of the Irish section on alfaowner years ago.
He was mad for his alfas.

Not my car as such, but it was mine for a 6 hour cruise through the mountain passes around the Mount Fuji region of Japan.

Never realised how capable these little cars are. I was up against an R32 GT-R, R34 GT-R, EVO 6 TME and a GC8 Impreza STI - no problem keeping up in the corners. The straights were a different story.

Would be tempted to buy one of these if the prices weren't gone so crazy.

New daily, plenty of smiles.. but check that gap..

It’s a fantastic story mort I wish you the best with the car.

C220 has been with me for over a year now, I can’t see me changing from Mercedes now it’s a cracking car

I was unsure if the size would suit me being 6”4 but I got used to it
Mpg is surprisingly good

I am getting 5.5 litre per 100 kms.

I actually have feck all, it's usually filthy inside, I'll grab some during the week when I get it clean inside :pac:

So I finally got my new car today after 3 months waiting

Leonard Hofstadter · 26-03-2019 12:42pm

Nice. What engine is it?

Cool. What are they like to drive?

Got skinned by one once at lights in town while driving a mk5 GTI with dsg. They're surprisingly quick.

Wibbs · 28-03-2019 10:07am

Yep, they're not slow. IIRC seven odd seconds to 60mph/100kph. From rest they're very rapid up to 50kph. Electric is great for that. Of all the leccy cars around today, it would be the one I'd like TBH(including Tesla). Quirky looking too, which I like.

MetzgerMeister · 28-03-2019 10:25am

Pity it looks like a smaller version of the Fiat Multipla :pac:

Duke O Smiley · 30-03-2019 4:25pm

...bm is looking well after a wash

Chriscl1 · 30-03-2019 4:32pm

She had a quick wash today. Might'nt be everybody's cup of tea but we needed a seven seater and this popped up when we were just about to settle on an smax

Alanstrainor · 30-03-2019 6:04pm

Lovely! It's nice to something different out there!

Bmw 520d MSport + Touring. Have it over a year now and love it. Wheels need a refurb now though so it’ll be sitting on 18’s for the next few weeks.

This... It's 2.2 auto and I should have gone for 2.5 manual, but this one really stood out when I was looking for one nearly 5 years ago.

Leonard Hofstadter · 01-04-2019 4:25pm

That's a lovely E46! I know I'm totally biased but the facelifted ones are still a fresh looking car. It's all the better for having the correct number of cylinders under the bonnet, too :cool:.

viperirl · 02-04-2019 1:35pm

530i M-Sport Plus with upgraded 20inch wheels. I've been drooling over this in the showroom for a while now and finally couldn't resist anymore. Forgive the bad parking - My last car kept getting dings from the careless twats beside me.

Misses wanted to throw this out "recycle" it. Was horrified. It's being turned into a table or other display.

Got some new tyres and a wheel today

Believe or not just a kerb :eek: 30profile tyres don't give much protection, wheels aren't the strongest I believe they're just regular alloys not forged or anything.

Did clip it at 40kmph or so so decent force. I think the wheel actually just absorbed all the force saving any damage to anything else :pac:

Not a fun week....

Very nice, it's hard to keep up with badging these days but is the 30i a 4 or 6 pot?

bazz26 · 02-04-2019 8:19pm

2.0 litre 4 cylinder, 250bhp.

MisterDrak · 03-04-2019 9:03am

Snap viperirl !!!

Very long time GTi owner here (since 2005), and mover over the BMW week before last. Also a 530i. Absolutely love the car.
