Thinking about it that comparison may not have been 100% fair because the 2.0 Galant is not as powerful as the Alfa however the 2.5 Galant is probably more so & seeing as there were only 2 engines on the Galant, I can't win!
However I'm not thinking about the 2.5 Galant because although the insurance is around the same as on the Alfa (the 2.0 Galant being a lesser insurance group) it would surely be even thirstier at half a litre bigger even though the Alfa is highly tuned.
 
Perhaps it would turn the situation on it's head if the comparison was with one of these!......I'd gladly disappear into the sunset in one of these never to be seen again. So much more civilised & classy than as Evo yet still carved out of the same rip snorting rally material! Wow what a car!
 





 

Doesn't that make you an AXdisposer rather than an AXrescuer?

I know - I expected some kind of summary from somebody for the benefit of the 'stay-at-homes'!

I'm a big fan of the pre facelift 305s. On saloons there's less difference, basically very slightly different front & rear lights but on the pre facelift estate the rear number plate along with the recess was in a completely different position further down the tailgate! Interesting fact for today fact fans!

Yes it does!
 

 
Excellent!

Sure it was only a couple of years ago?

Isn't that pretty expensive? Is that to your cost, or his?  
Meaning other people can't use your insurance to drive your cars third party, or you can't with other people's cars? 
If I can get put on my dad's insurance come the end of the year this is what I'll be driving...... 

 

 

 

 

 
This is the 2.2 Sport XS which replaced this a couple of months ago.......
 

 

 

 
2.0 136 HDi or something like that.

As a young boy, Joe was completely obsessed with tractors. He had pictures of tractors all over his bedroom walls; he had tractor toys, tractor T-shirts, a tractor carpet, and duvet cover, the whole works. He ate, drank and slept tractors. On his 17th birthday he was thrilled to get an invitation to go to a tractor factory nearby and test-drive a brand new tractor.His excitement was incredible as he told his family and friends. The great day came and he went to the factory for the test-drive.Unfortunately something went terribly wrong with the tractor when Joe was driving it and it flipped over, trapping and breaking Joe's leg and fracturing his skull.He was so upset and tried to sue the tractor company for negligence. But the company would have none of it and told him there was no liabilityand he could get lost!You can imagine he was very annoyed with tractors after this and vowed to shed them from his life completely and forever. All the posters came down, the toys were given away - tractors were GONE.Many years later, Joe went into a bar for a drink. Inside, the cigarette and cigar smoke was terrible but through it he saw a beautiful girl seated at the bar on her own. Tears were streaming downher face.Joe asked her what was wrong and she said that the smoke was making her eyes sting and stream with tears.With that, Joe looked around and then took a huge breath, sucking in all the smoke. He then walked outside into the car park and blew all the smoke out again. He goes back into the bar where the air is now clear and sweet and sits down next to the girl."That was amazing!" she said, "How did you do that?""No problem", said Joe "I'm an ex-tractor fan"

I can picture a preview of it rolling backwards down a hill with the doors open. I don't hold out much hope for their futures.....lambs to the slaughter comes to mind
