what would a village idiot buy to replace his beloved S160?

[village idiot]

an Alfa 166 3.0V6 Super Lusso of course!

barking mad motor... in funky pearlescent blue/silver and nice black momo leather.

a whisker over 100k on the clock and bought for nicely below £3k...

should get me from a-b for a while.

will try to get a pic posted later

a little more info if you will.... topless? doors? speed?

[Hollywood Wheels]

Top choice matey, I love the 166, proper barges which sound gorgeous. Looking forward to the pics.....

well i figured as the car has full leather upholstery, i'll be able to clean up, regardless of the spillage.

i can also do limo-services for girly nights out... wifelet with do the honours as driver (she doesn't trust me for some reason!).

If a= your house and b = the garage having to fix the car when it breaks, then yes it should do

Nice car btw, I'd never buy one myself, but nice nevertheless (although the colour is not my cup of tea)

[village idiot]

now don't laugh...

but below is a photo taken today of my new toy:-



on a trailer enroute to the local alfa specialist... yup had it about 4 days and broke it.

i'm definitely living up to my login name!

[S Works]

On the up-side, it looks nice and shiny though

Just1 would be proud of you.

[fatwomble]

would we laugh.



ok, yes we would

I stand corrected, it can't even go from your house to the repair shop on its own

[JADCampbell]

Well, I think you are to be applauded for doing something so bloody-mindedly petrolhead as buying a big, high mileage Alfa. My old man used to have a V6 164 in 1990 and it was great.

Torque steer from hell, but made the most glorious noise.

[Philygumbo]

Looks to me like you were off roading in the forrest, no wonder it broke.
Had to get a Landy to come out and find you.

[SpeedYellow]

Hum.... I wonder what caused that belt to break.....

At least it meant you had time to help me out with the new toy!

Car looks stunning in the flesh btw... will be great fun and everyone has to own an Alfa sometime!

[village idiot]

well, the garage have found a whole stack of MOT-failure issues with the car, so I am now in talks with the dealer over what they are going to pay for... all quite good fun really... the CAB told me to inform Trading Standards, so I've got the dealer on the run now.

the only reason why it was on a trailer was because the auxiliary belt snapped (only £20 to replace), and I have no mechanical nouse, so thought it was best to trailer it up to the garage.
