I am really going to regret this...

... but somehow, I just don't seem to care!

I'm just waiting to hear the delivery date on this:

Alfa Romeo 159 2.0 JDTm Turismo Internazionale in Stromboli Grey with black leather

Finally!!!

Good choice

Good car, gorgeous, and it's just, lovely. Though an Alfa should be petrol

However, enjoy it!

I really wanted to love the 1750TBi but... its just insanity itself on fuel (less than 30mpg on a run!), the BIK value is crazy being a petrol and, well, overall it just didnt seem to make any sense

Does sound really nice for a 4cyl turbo though

But at least I can get my key out of the ignition ( or find where the ignition is )

as many times as I work this out in a Saab I still forget

It's nowhere near your kneecap would end up in a crash (apparently that's why they do it)

The best I've ever done is get our civic (the 2.2 diesel) from 60 to mid 30s with some reyt good abuse
