Nothing will empty your wallet faster than a ropey, high mileage Alfa Romeo!
 
They do, sounds nice for a four pot too! Wanted a V6, but they were thin on the ground! Despite the knocks, clunks and rattles it makes, its a dream to drive after being stuck in my van since before christmas!!
 
I have no sympathy, why an Alfa? always breaking down. Italians are more interested in good food and wine. I think they have got it right.

Because I'm a glutton for punishment! I don't use the car very often, so I wanted something that I actually want to drive, for £1000 I had the choice of this, Mondeos, Vectras, Passats etc! I can live with a little extra maintenance and cost if it means I get some enjoyment!

It'll do me for now until I can afford a proper car!
 
Yes know where your coming from. My every day car is a BMW 320D tourer, very efficient, cheap tax, reliable. My play car is a Toyota MR2 MKll 16year old expensive tax, not fuel efficient but totally reliable and great fun. Just have to remember not to do big shopping trips in the MR2.

I'd have had something like an MR2 in a flash, but I needed room for four people as my missus has a Citroen C1 to get her back and forth to work and going out as a family in that is far from fun!

This was the best compromise of practicality and enjoyment I could get for the money!
 
Not a C1, you can barely get a pint of milk in the boot. Agree if you have family MR2 not the best option. My babes are all grown up. Great when the boy gives me a lift to the pub and back again.

I've always fancied a vauxhall monaro for a toy, one day they'll be cheap enough.

I was very very tempted to buy one of these a few years ago. White with a yellow stripe running over the bonnet to the wing mirrors. about 19k if i remember right for a 2 yr old.
Ended up buying a 3 litre V6 406 coupe because she liked it better. That was a decent car too.

No no no, oportunity missed!
 
She said it looked like a big vectra and i'd drive to fast in it. She is obviously deaf and stupid as most women are when it comes to cars so i had to reach a compromise.
I sometimes wish i had stuck to my guns on that one.
 
Is it a nice colour though?

Never understood the mixture of range rover and sport, messes up 2 lovely ideas into one vehicle that can't do either. omho. Even worse range rover evoque or what ever they are, even hairdressers dont want those!

Whats to understand? There is clearly a market for them and Land Rover seem to be making a fortune from them. The Evoque is actually a really nice car, I don't know why they made it 4WD though, Land Rover must know that 95% of them will never leave tarmac.
 
I want range rover sport, the laws of the road don't apply if you drive one.
