Sniffpetrol - not seen that before. 
The 4C's lights are as bad as we were expecting.
Looks like might be a burgeoning aftermarket in normal looking headlights for it (a mod even Smaky might approve of?)Still would though, obviously.

My 147 GTA is apparently a cast-off from a Malaysian importer and is not undersealed as well as the standard UK-spec cars.
Got me thinking, as my 147 was an import through Virgin Cars. I have the original registration document/certificate from Italy, stamped by DVLA when they issued a UK reg no, and the car is RHD. But is the UK spec undersealing more thorough than it would have been for Europe?
-
Old cars ROCK.
That's usually because the shocks are shot.
Oh, wait, I see
Yep, they do - easier to work on and built using proper stuff.
-
I've been thoroughly caning it everywhere, even down the drive, arriving and leaving in clouds of tyre-squealing smoke. Now, magically, my driveshaft and brakes are knackered - surely the two are not connected?
There, fixed that for you
No seriously, driveshafts shouldn't need replacing at 20k (unless it is massively over-chipped and you have been driving like an idiot) - you don't have to be Mr Smaky to realise that. Hope you find the root-cause and it doesn't cost an arm/leg to get it sorted.

Devil's in the details...
Sunday 11th August 2013, Postcode: ME4 4TE
Non AROC members in an Alfa pay £11.50 per person. AROC members pay £8.00 per person, standard (non-Alfa anything) entrance is £17.50 per person.
More details here: http://www.aroc-uk.c...tional-alfa-day
Would be up for that, as it would be great to see where my Grandfather plied his trade.

Tried to park my quality Fiat Panda in the middle of these two gems, when some Ferrari shitbox sneaks in
That ladies and gents is the new F12
Reckon its wingmirrors are worth more than the cars parked next to it.

I agree M. My old man has a 2007 7 Series, and I think it's pig ugly from the outside and a bit ostentatious (he agrees on the latter), but is great on the inside. Perhaps I should point him towards one of these, so he can be a bit more subtle about it?

What did you have to do Anj to find out? I don't think my life will ever be the same again after what I went through....

Euw, No Kiss is pants.
The Phaeton, however, It's so amazing what you can find if you look hard enough
Agree, Kiss is pants, but I wouldn't have thought that VW had the average Kiss listener in mind when designing the car. It was the juxtaposition that amused me, like if a fully modded Saxo was tuned to R4.
-
Love the fact that it's tuned to Kiss 100

Only if I can have dinner with your boyfriend afterwards.

The smakster is all for originality, that's why he'll have a break down when I sticker bomb an alfa
Does he know where you live?
-
No hand-holding (not on a first date anyway 
) but will be there to make sure you don't get lost.

Biggy's only kidding - Tyas hasn't doubled his prices.

Yes, aware it sounds
but am still peeling the skin off my face as a result of severe gypsy sunburn from our visit to the Enfield Motor Pageant. and am too tight to buy my own -
Can only do the Sharnbrook Sunday thang, but will def be there. (LJ, will you bring the suncream please
) -
Am sure this was mentioned in another thread somewhere (Bigdar's thread about dodgy pubs in Southampton?), but thought it should be a separate topic.

What members area ?
Welcome BTW
OK, technically there isn't any one place called a members' area. But when not logged in I can only see the Welcome, Tech Zone, Events & Market Square boards. Logged in I also get Car Chat, Social Network, Fun Stuff & Under the Hood boards, making them members' areas in all but name. -
Most of the banter takes place in the members' area, so you chose wisely
