  1. Bah, just wait for the twin turbo 2.0 JTDm that they are fitting to the Insignia VXR, no doubt will be fitted to the new Gulia...

    Giulia will have it's own engine range...or rather, Alfa will by the time the Giulia comes out.

     

    Sergio has spoken, and apparently no more Fiat engines with Alfa badges.


  2. *cry*

     

    I want this sooo badly.

     

    1) Can't get insurance - not a problem, Harry can have it and I'll just listen to the noise.

    2) I don't even have £500 spare for at least a month :(

    3) Those wheels...what are they??? :Drooling:

     

    Hell, the leather, spare wheels, boot lid and headlights is a reasonable deal for £500.

     

    Milo...do you by any chance have any need for either a 1.8L twinny 156 with a rotten exhaust or a 1.6L twinny 147? :)


  3. I couldn't deal with the hassle of sorting her through vic checks and what-not. i had every intention of buying her back to use the good parts on another QV that i have sat waiting to be fixed. But, the insurance company wanted £350 for it as Salvage Value, and they wanted me to collect the car from their storage in Rugby (not allowed to drive it so hire a trailer etc) and then when i had finished with the car and was ready to move the shell on they wanted a certificate of destruction which my local scrappy would only provide if the car was complete! so more cost and hassle to hire a trailor again to take it somewhere further.

     

     

    so after recovering from the headache of those telephone conversations I decided to just let her go. Be that a bad decision or not, its one i have to live with.

     

    A VIC check nowadays comprises of them looking under the bonnet, writing down the chassis number, making sure it matches and saying you've passed :/

     

    Munky doesn't like Tapa signatures. Pity.

  4. Followed a 458 today but couldn't get a picture for two reasons:

    i) plod was just behind me

    ii) was too busy having an eargasm (we went through a tunnel - I dropped the window down whilst the 458 driver dropped a couple of cogs - OMFG :hubba::Love: )

     

    Urgh, I'd rather listen to a Daewoo Matiz than a 458

    Why, are you deaf?!
