Current Alfa's are Nice to Drive(GT's Breras etc)..Not too much to Fail Mot's on ATM...

...But older ALFAS and FIATS are Generally

.....Not nice..

.....And to ADD.....If you think Audi's are expensive for parts...

.Try owning an Alfa?..

I didn't get the question because in my single minded conception of the World ATM I thought you meant Men so I answered no! I still mean no but I used to like AlfaRomeos when I lived in Italy.

i think you know where my vote is

Owned a Mirafiori 2000/TC,Strada 105 TC,2 Uno Turbo.Then 4 Lancia.2 Thema Turbos,an 8v and a 16v,and an integrale.Now on my 4th,a 16v Thema Turbo again.

Following on from what Coxy said,these were fairly solid and galvanised.This is where they had gone overboard to lose the rusty Lancia Beta image.The damage was done by that point though.
heres an excellent UK and even better Dutch forum to keep us all on the road.

It takes some balls to own an Italian car,but the engines are always full of spirit and they thrive on revs.Im certainly glad to be back in an Italian car.They have more character.Spares are proving to be cheaper generally speaking than Audi surprisingly.Mind you,this ones had thousands thrown at her since new,and only needs a couple of wishbone bushes at the moment.

Its similar to the 200 though,in that its another car which has the engine shared with a far more desireable model.I prefer this one,as it gets up there at a much more brisk pace.Yeehaa!

Loving Monte Carlos,and like with Audis,will have another one day.Love em all!!

Great thread Stu
