Since 1978 I have had about 12 assorted Alfa's, and the only reason I stopped buying them was because I couldn't find a decent dealership.

One of my last Alfa's was a 164 cloverleaf which chucked out over 200 bhp and was the original Q car. I ran this from new for 7 years putting 180,000 miles on it before selling it and believe it or not it NEVER let me down until I delivered it to it's new owner and it decided to blow an exhaust upon arrival! Cost me £500 off the deal, but the new owner loved it.

I still have a 145 cloverleaf which I don;t drive now, but that really is a racing car. 200 BHP in a tiny lightweight body and a quick steering rack (1.* turns lock to lock) Awesome fun and for sale if anybody interested.
