personally i can take all the crap you want to give about BMW cars i would not swap mine for any Alfa you care to think of. People who dont have them complain about BMW drivers, obviously they are jealous of the awesome service and reliability that you get. Of course theres the depreciation to think of with an Alfa its worth about a third of fookall 10 mins after getting off the forcourt not a problem with the beemer

I wasn't dishing out cr4p about BMW cars, I was having a mild pop at drivers who feel duty bound to utilise all their spotlights at the least possible provocation (ie: none) OK, its a fair cop, BMW drivers are no worse that any others (well, maybe, just a little bit) in this respect (and a ******** site better than chavs in Peugeots) , but jealousy of BMW attributes? Oh, I don't think so... Alfa is to Ducati as BMW is to H0nd4. Nothing wrong with H0nd4s, reliable, great service, stunning engineering, just lacking a bit in soul and passion. I spend more money on keeping my 1994 24V Cloverleaf on the road than I would keeping a 2003 530, but it gives me twice as much satisfaction too.
