Test Drive a 4C

[detee]

To be honest I went to look at it yesterday and it was immaculate, full front end PPF and the sills as well, my fellow P'Her has done me proud. Thanks to Robbie at Alfa Knaresborough, who has been a pleasure to deal with.

It his nice to buy a car from a fellow car nut!

It’s a fantastic car and one you’ll no doubt enjoy. This was yesterday after thinking of somewhere else ‘just to drive too’

Daughter loves it

That looks fantastic. Is that the Compezione red? I have much to learn!

[Moley RUFC]

No. Poverty red (Alfa Rosso).....

Me too! And i've got to say I haven't stopped smiling yet. No doubt i'll have another Porsche at some point but it's going to have to be a GT to feel anywhere near as special.

I agree with you both, my GTS was so accomplished but so far I love the 4C. It is a lot of fun. However the Alfaworks geo sounds tempting...

Or is the thought that its best to keep these standard.

[Armitage.Shanks]

So far mine is standard as I've not noticed any handling issues plaguing the early year cars (mines '67).

I think tyre pressures and an accurate geo are crucial so unless I find out otherwise I'll leave as is. The race exhaust may go for a Centreline Stradale to get rid of drone plus I like the way these come out of the centre and not the sides.

The cars do "fidget" on the road slightly, I'm not sure whether the Alfaworks treatment eradicates this but it is a characteristic of lightweight cars with fast steering racks in my view. I personally enjoy the feeling as it makes the car feel alive in your hands.
