The Alfa GT has just hit the workshop ramps for the first time. Upper front wishbone, both anti roll bar links, split CV gaitor - and I knew it needs a full service and MOT. I reckon £500 - that's a whole Breitling Top Time!

That is if that list is all it needs for the MOT of course...

I feel a watch sale coming on...

You can buy a whole car with a years MOT for that, although to be fair I just had to replace the front discs and pads on the Golf...........................£43 including VAT :lol: :lol:

My last Alfa, a 145 cloverleaf with 145k miles, cost me £400 and £12 in repairs in one year. Sold it for £800.

I think I may have used up my Alfa luck! But I dd buy this one £800 cheaper than the next cheapest (which was a complete dog. It had had more paintwork than the average Monet!)
 
I drive a 2010 (just, it's a 59 plate) Citroen ds3.

Have had it just over a year, and it will shortly be needing new tyres, disc brakes and (annoyingly) a new exhaust.

Needless to say, I'm not the most economical driver, and the 500 miles a week doesn't help

The sweetest sound engine and I never had to many mechanical or electrical problems but as with all 70's Italians is just rotted away around me.
 
Because I already have a large penis. :D :D :D
I didn't know I had the choice ...... :fool:
Have you not heard of the 'car/penis inverse size proportion law' ? :)

I bought the Suzuki after noting down all my criteria for a new car, and I ended up with a shortlist of one! :lol:
