my mate recently bought a used, 41k, alfa 156 V6 2.5 SP3 for £6.9k, with leather air con etc etc. Its a honey to drive, and an alternative to the others listed. g

Im sure there was a car that had a mono spoke alloy from the 70s or 80s. I rack my brain and see if i can remember what it was. g

I do. Now that mine has it, I think it overlays a nice fizz to the deep note you get from the exhaust, especially when the revs drop. How does it sound from the outside? g

i was getting 54mpg on the M-something the other week (travelling at about 60mph). I was well impressed. g

at what rpm does the thing cut in? why not take off with average revs, then when the clutch is fully engaged, then accelerate hard? Or does the same thing happen when you try this method, too? (I have no traction control, but i do have a one touch passenger window which is more useful...

the thing i like about flame red is that it looks ace in the summer when the light hit it, but in the winter, its a lovely flash of brightness in another wise mono chrome winter world. Its nice to look out of the window and see it beaming away brightly, whatever the weather. It also looks like...

i wouldnt even get a pair of shoes from my boss, never mind a car. g

Viv, thats cheating! ;) :D g

do you think these would be better if they just said 172, instead. Be nice if reno gave the option to have these instead? g

what a heart warming story! Well done Flipper, what a gent! g

maybe the factory that makes the 172s/Cups closes for the summer; hence the backlog? g

i quite like the 4k rattle - gives it a nice rasp on the overrun and when you heel and toe. Can you not live with it instead of fixing/replacing it? g

what are they? g

cheeky, sneaky, editing mister dodgy geezer trousers. :D g

mainland Europe, that is ;) g

good one, forgot about that! g

has any special edition based on a mass market car ever had stronger residuals than the one its based on (I guess yes, in the case of the williams). Any others? g

yeah whatever, the 172 is still faster at all times ;) g

Its the Puppy!!! g
