Alfa have always made great looking cars... shame they fall to pieces as soon as you look at them.

have owned Fiats in the past (Punto, Bravo 20V HGT and Coupe 20V Turbo) through the Fiat employee discount my old company managed to get - I vowed never again, no matter how cheap they are, but this looks superb - even enough to make me forget the probs I had

yes, I'm shallow me

United Kingdom 2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Rimini Red

One of the most memorable cars I ever owned was an Alfasud 1.5, which was bought for a mere £1,200 when it was 3 years old. Looked like a Ford Escort but drove like a sports car. Boxer engine, on board discs and a perfectly balanced chassis. Brought tears of joy when driving, but tears of pain when in for a service. It nearly bankrupted me when each time I dropped her off at the workshop I would get regular phone calls saying they had found "x" needed replacing or "y" renewing. I still have nightmares about the voice of that guy who used to ring me up and tell me that another weeks wages was going to disappear into the engine bay of that car. And the old joke about them being made of bake bean tins was spot on, 2 salty Northern winters and the inner wings disintergrated.

So now, I love the idea of Alfas, but couldn't muster the courage to buy one again ..... RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Arctic Frost

I like it. It's got a sort or "retro" 60's sports car look about it.

Not that I'm old enough to know what 60's sports cars looked like of course. Embarassed I saw some pictures in a really old book once. Confused Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.
