    New Alfa

    It's not a proper Alfa. The last proper Alfa was the *insert your current Alfa that is at least 10 years old, or the last Alfa you owned*. Ever since then they haven't made a proper Alfa. Will there be a coupe or soft top variant?
  2. Did you take a photo of it? Was it draining from the wiring or from the radio? Thoughts: Something decomposing (maybe a product that has fallen down around the dashboard or crawled in an air vent) Battery gone wrong (e.g. backup battery in radio) Martian Love Juice.

    Decision Time.

    you could have had a very nice 2nd hand Giulietta a few weeks ago. Low mileage, stuffed with extras, in great condition.
  6. K9d, the wife prefers a rod that doesn't speed too quickly
  7. Just one photo to show so far (until I edit out the number plate). I'm taking it gently for the first few hundred miles until I get used to it. The bits that make me smile... 1. Electrically closing boot 2. 43mph per 1000rpm in 7th 3. 4wd grip when using the throttle round corners 4. A footrest for my left foot 5. Good satnav/sound system The bits that don't make me smile 1. Not being able to wave at Alfa drivers. 2. The controls for the satnav/sound system are different, so I have to think before using the. That will come with time.

  9. Yup, 245bhp diesel, 7 speed auto, raised suspension, high profile tyres. (OK, Im joking about the tyres, what I mean is it's the standard 18" wheels, not some pointless townie 20" ones that would be destroyed the first time I drove the car up the lane to get home)
  10. You might have noticed from the other thread I started recently that my G is now for sale. I've changed contracts recently and have treated myself to an A4 Allroad V6.
  11. New car arrives in a couple of weeks. 33,000miles, recently serviced by Rusper Alfa, new front droplinks. Heated leather seats, sat nav, fitted with summer tyres, but a set of winters will be thrown in too. As for the bodywork, she was wrapped in ventureshield (plastic film) before she left the showroom, so the paint is as new, apart from one ding on the driver's door (trolley in a supermarket car park) and a mark on the front bumper. I'll be putting it on Autotrader for £9,500, but would accept £9,000 from an AlfaDriver. (Photos to follow)
  12. Well, the whole plan has gone on hold as I'm finishing my current contract in a few weeks, so instead of regular runs to Europe, etc, I'll be going for a 20 minute commute each day, so a big part of the justification for the car goes out the window. My wife has suggested that there is no need for both of us to have a big car (she has a Tiguan), so I've asked does that mean I should buy a 2 seater sports car. That didn't go down well! I'll hold onto the Giulietta until at least the start of next year, maybe longer...
  13. Sorry if this is too basic an answer, but were the tyres inflated to the correct pressure?
  14. I could regret saying this, but isn't that RWD? If I was looking for RWD, I'd be looking at the jag or maybe a merc. Problem is where I live - front or 4wd are the options.
  15. Let's say you were thinking of changing your Giulietta for something bigger with more room in the back. Budget? £25-30k Requirements: dog friendly boot. Room for 4 adults. A bit of oomph. Diesel. Auto. Ex demo/ex management - under a year old (could go a bit older, but certainly under 2). Front or four wheel drive. Not a big 4x4. If I was to go over budget, I'm liking the A4 all road with the 3l Diesel engine. Not planning to change until after the summer at the earliest, but what would you go for if you were in my shoes?
  16. Never mind how bad it looks, the seller is called Robert Homer, but his email address is a guy called Frank Patcher. Even if it was a better car, I still think it's a dodgy one.
  17. Welcome to AlfaDriver, Sooty Si. You might spot a few familiar faces around here.
  18. Assuming we're not allowed the 8C or 4C... The prototype of the Brera. It's a shame it was let down by weight, eu regulations, etc.

    Hey :) ;)

    Hello Alice, welcome to Alfa Driver.
  20. I don't know which Surrey you were in today, but it was pissing with rain round my way, although the sky has cleared now. Welcome, anyway!

    4X4's

    If you need that size, go for the toe rag. Very similar to the porch but a lot cheaper. A friend has the 3.0d and it's not bad, the petrol will be faster. We have the tiguan and it's a good performer, but a lot smaller than the porker.
