If you're stupid is it possible to walk smart?
Its all over town. A few years ago the local government went on a safety spree...pedestrians need to be careful.If you're stupid is it possible to walk smart?
What's that all about? Drunk people walking straight into the water is my guess.
Look out warranty department! You bought an Alfa mate, they're made to leak. My Subi's 8 years old and not one drop of oil.
Oil pissing out of the transmission hydraulic pump on SWMBO's new Alfa - it doesn't even have 1000KMs on it yet...
Insist that they don't let a Junior technician work on it.My Megane is 11 years old and not one drop of oil...
Tomorrow will be its third visit. I have requested that a dash rattle be sorted, an ill fitting dash trim part fitted, an interior light fixed, the front doors aligned, the steering creak/clunk fixed and the occasional bunny hopping at low speed investigated.
They fixed the rattle... I did the trim part and aligned the doors myself (they said they were not adjustable, it took me 10 minutes...). Steering noise still there (i dont think they really looked...). Now it needs a new transmission pump that is hopefully also the cause of the bunny hopping incident.
Not my choice of car btw - I would have been waaaaay happier if she liked the Mazda 3 GT or the Megane IV. Its a nice car, but I was nervous about it for a reason it seems!!
I also have a complaint with Alfa Oz - the brochure said it had heated mirrors, as did the selling dealer. Another warranty fix I asked to be done was look into why the heated mirrors were not working - it seems my one left the factory with out them fitted and Alfa obviously are refusing to retrofit them!! Bloody annoying.
But, but, Alfa's are great. If they were reliable and well put together I'd buy one in an instant. Hope they sort it out.Look out warranty department! You bought an Alfa mate, they're made to leak. My Subi's 8 years old and not one drop of oil.
I always wanted an 80's bright red Alpha GTV6 even got to drive and work on a few. The opportunity finally came up where one was up for sale and the boss at the time said, "if you're buying that it ain't coming in here" One thing that they did do is rust very badly.But, but, Alfa's are great.

Loved the gtv and alfettas. I grew up with quite a few Italians that indulged in them. They sound nice and the interiors always have that feeling of euro coolness.I always wanted an 80's bright red Alpha GTV6 even got to drive and work on a few.

Damn, you should have kept that one. Very nice.Best car I ever had...
Even looks like you.Best car I ever had...
Had a 74 Fiat 124 Sport back in the day...thing went like the clappers. A super fun car to drive. Wish I'd held onto it in many respects. One of the few Euro coupes that was easy to work on too.Loved the gtv and alfettas. I grew up with quite a few Italians that indulged in them.

Don't forget the Fiat 124 either.
Rust is supposed to be much less in newer models, supposedly..

Another friend of mine had one as daily driver. It went for longer than it should have without too many headaches from memory. A really nice design with that Italian vavoom that you just have to like.Had a 74 Fiat 124 Sport back in the day...thing went like the clappers. A super fun car to drive.

My brother had a Pug 308 for a few years and it held together pretty well. The French ergonomics is just odd, well, has character.My first Italian - it's making the French stuff I usually drive look very reliable!
My first car was a 124, sedan though.Don't forget the Fiat 124 either.
