No offence intended

None taken :grin:

Off on a bit of a tangent, but the more I look at this, the more I like it

It is very pretty, and seems like the perfect car for someone like me who probably needs a diesel, but doesn't really want one :lol:

 

[Ginger Tom]

One of the best looking cars of all time IMO

 

[XIIVVX]

Ohhh that's a lot of car for that little money

 

[The Arch Bishop]

Lovely looking car that. My farther in law was selling them when they first came out and he borrowed one for the week. Other than it being a bit like being in a padded cell inside, it was cracking. Was decently quick for a diesel and managed to be suprisingly revvy. Niiiiice...

It's fine as long as you don't mind paying Alfa repair bills, I have a colleague with the petrol version and Alfa were quoting around £5k for a gearbox replacement.

 

[The Arch Bishop]

So come on Neil, lets have an update. Judging by your signature, you have had an epiphany?

 

[Neil]

Maybe...

I'll leave one clue for now. It isn't a Civic - it's considerably cheaper.

 

[The Arch Bishop]

A Honda C80 cub. A pair of bathroom scales. A life-sized mock up of Michael McKintyre? A Puma of some description? A slide whistle.

There are lots of things cheaper than a Civic! Not really a clue is it?!

 

[evilrob]

You've only gone and bloody bought a RenaultSport Clio haven't you, you big gay bear.

 

[Neil]

What gives you that idea?

 

[evilrob]

Cos you've been going round in circles between the Civic and the Clio all the way through this thread - and you haven't bought a Civic.

 

[yippeekiay]

I'll guess at that Alfa you posted the other day.

 

[Neil]

All will be revealed soon ;-)

[crystalpuma]

Why do people love secrets so much?

 

[Neil]

Keeps life interesting...

 

[spike.]

my life hasn't got more interesting, because you haven't told us if/what you have brought.

 

[Dal]

It's even more interesting when you know a secret
