I was actually looking for Alfa 75 or GTV6 when I accidently bought 360. Well good thing was I did not need any loan to buy 360.

Any old car will eventually be Opel, so is mine too

Having a sh*tload of kids in the back of a Ferrari on the other hand, will cost you some prison timefor child molesting!

The italian cars are extremly well dsigned, they have that something wich makes thm very atractive, they are more warm with the driver, not like german ones and they are closer to our latins' heart.

BUT they are not too good after some years...they start to fall apart...Well, at least this is the story with the old Fiat Tempra, Croma, Tipo, Uno, Alfa 33/75 - great engines, very powerful, but....

A friend of mine has an Alfa 75 V6 from 1986 with about 350.000 km....the car is in bad shape (mainly becouse his mother drove it in the last 2 years), but it has a very powerful engine...the only thing wich still works...not great, not good, just works!

Anyhow, i would buy myself an Alfa 147 or an 156 SportsWagon...great cars!

About Fiat, they make cheap cars, not interested, evean if i think Stilo is a nice car!

@alfa lovers; search the web for Alfa Montreal.

I still got those pics you gave me from the france scrapyard with all the nice car rusting away there... There was an Alfa Montreal too was it? I'll try to put the pic up here.....

The italian engines are actually pretty good although they are on the edge of their powerband. Every little horsepower is sqeeuzed from those engines.

I drove an Audi A2 the other week, it was the 1.9 TDI version. I have a few pictures of it but they're on my computer (I'm at my mate's house presently).

It was great to drive. My only complaints were that the clutch was so loose it felt as if it wasn't making any difference, if you know what I mean. Also, the steering was go-kart like. Horrible.

Good car overall though!

Yeah, can't trust dodgy Italian electronics *remembers that when it's wet the 340 dash lights muck up and revs don't show, and only fixed by tapping plastic or using horn*

Ferrari's scream: LOOK AT ME I"M RICH ENOUGH TO BUY A CRAPPY CAR FOR HALF A MILLION!!!

-My name is Roger, sir. My I be of some help?
-That's funny, my name's Roger. Two Rogers don't make a right.
Roger, I have a problem.
-Yes?
-I've been in L.A. three months now. I have a money, I have a taste. But I'm not on anybodys "A" list, and Saturday night is the loneliest night of the week for me.
-Oh. A Ferrari would certainly change that.
-Perhaps.Mmm...But, You know this is the one. Yes, yes, yes. I saw three of these parked outside the lokal "Starbucks" this morning which tell me only one thing. There's too many self-indulgent wieners in the city with too much bloody money!
Now, if I was driving a 1967 275 GTB four-cam...
-You would not be a self-indulgent wiener, sir. You'd be a connoisseur.
-Precisely.
Champagne would fall from the heavens. Doors would open, velvet ropes would part.
-I don't have a one here, however I do one in the warehouse.
-Superb. What else do you have in the warehouse?

Hehe, Gone in 60 seconds was on the other day
