purplebargeken Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 I like the Alfa, bit like a pair of comfy, worn and ever so slightly whiffy slippers. So........ expressions of interest in the Alfa and some for the Amazon too. Golf? Beetle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlo Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Cheers everybody. The arthritis is what it is, kind of used to it. The Obstructive Sleep Apnea and the CPAP machine are possibly car hindering but will discuss on 15th March. Hopefully I might actually feel a shed load better with CPAP. The bowel symptoms are the main concern and remain an unknown quantity. Could be anything and nothing (hiatus hernia, IBS, etc but it is a worry. No appetite, constantly feel full, if I do eat anything I feel full after a really small amount, and it is painful etc, etc. Irritating. GP, hospital and so on have been ace. GP consult on the Friday, appt slapped on the mat on the Saturday and appt on the Tuesday. Less than 2 weeks wait for the scopes. Discussed with Mrs PBK about the cars last night and decision made. Sounds identical to the symptoms I had with a stomach ulcer a good few years back, especially the horrible 'full' feeling after virtually eating fuck all. Took a good few months to clear up, and very unpleasant, but at least it wasn't particularly serious. They reckoned mine was due to bacteria in the gut, and something called De-Nol anti-bismuth solution finally cleared it up (quite quickly.) P.S. If you're having an endoscopy for god's sake get sedated first, it was one of the worst experiences if my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Roffle the Alfa! I'm in! Wrong engine, wrong gearbox, but at least I'll be able to say I had an Alfa once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Okaaaaay, just want people to be realistic as to what it is. It isn't perfect, it's tatty body wise but the engine is ace. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Q Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Feck me, £250 for the Alfa is really showing what an idiot I am for spending hours welding up my £200, 210k mile one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Ken, I wasn't joking. You made it clear in the original post that the Alfa needs a bit of love; that's fine, I expect that! This is AS remember, we understand that cars wear out/get damaged. I think every car I've ever owned had a bit of a "history" before it came to me. Many didn't have a history after me, as I was the last owner, which makes me sad. That said: this is AS, it shouldn't be difficult to punt a car round again if I don't like/need/want it.Go on, Roffle. You know you want to. 4, 16 and 59 please.
