Yet another newbie

[OilyRags101]

Greetings petrol-heads and others alike!

I'm Alan from Blackpool (oop-north). Currently own an Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 Twin Spark (shock horror!). Yes i've heard all the chat about reliability issues, and i can safely say i've only had one bit of bother so far, which was a crank sensor
For anyone tempted or thinking about getting one - DO IT! you'll not regret it often.

This is very true.

That's good.
Lovely colour by the way.

Thank you very much! It's called "Proteo Red" if you ever need to know

Looks great!

Like the wheels and the discreet alterations to the bodywork which is a rarity. And I'm glad you changed those horrid rear lights

What's "an alfa"?
Please respect the marque.
Or, perhaps your way of not doing so?

Welcome to PH.

Not 100% on the body mods, but a nice car nonetheless.

[Killer2005]

Always nice to have more Alfa's on PH

Not quite sure about the body kit though, oh and the lights
