This gave it away for me.

Mmmm, ZX estate.

[Bucketeer]

We're getting close now. I can almost smell the rusty heaps fighting their despairing owner.

[chadders]

Cromer? As they use goats to graze on the clifftop although the other pic looks like Mundesley.

[wuvvum]

Mundesley innit?

[barmatt]

Mundesley innit?

 

Aye, that's what we'd deduced.

[richardmorris]

Ah narfuk.

Where does the toll route fit in?

[BavarianRetro]

I'm sure you have to pay to get out of Norfolk. I was certainly happy to do so, the last time I was there.

[Bucketeer]

The main reason I came along with six_cylinder (aside from driving the ZX back obvs) was to see this. And hopefully have a shot in it. Which I did. It's ace.

And the interior shot?

[Bucketeer]

I didn't take an interior picture (I was still coming down from a Y10 high) but I sure the man with two V6 156's will have taken some.

 

Meanwhile . . .

 

 

Unsurprisingly, shortly after the fill up he disappeared off into the distance. Mrs6C's ZX TD is pretty rapid but not 'Alfa V6 driven by a hooligan' rapid.

Don’t worry, you can catch up and tow him home when it breaks down.

ring ring, ring ring, ring ring

 

We're back safe and without calamity.

Six_cylinder reports that Alfa is grand. There are a few little faults (all fully disclosed by wuvvum) but it looks a smashing stablemate to the silver V6 estate that has much affection in the 6C household.

 

 

It was great to catch up with wuvvum (and his village of cars) and I can't thank him enough for allowing me my first drive of a Y10. It reminds me of an AX with a grown up's engine. A proper hoot.

[The Moog]

How many bucketeer thumbs up does a y10 get?

[Bucketeer]

[purplebargeken]

Norfolk, chocolate limes and an Alfa.......megawin!

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Just got in from taking posh pissheads to Twickers.

Ha! I knew you were travelling East, didn't I say? Eh? Eh. ?

Just call me Jane Silverfoot, or summat.

[Bucketeer]

You took part, you tried your best, and you stuck at it. That's the main thing.

[hairnet]

Wuvs had a visit?

Y U NO RISSEN

[Split_Pin]

I know 320T was keen on the 156 but I didn't know that you literally beat him to it down the motorway!

As soon as I saw Chris had PM'd, I knew I was safe!

Thursday night I was tired and fell asleep much earlier than usual, by 4.00am Friday I was wide awake again so I had a read of Autosite, there it was again! I had been thinking about this car when Bramz7 had it and then again HMC and trying to work out how it would fit in to our fleet as Mrs6C has claimed the 156 V6 Sports wagon as her station car. I decided it was a non decision because if I did not want it when I got it home somebody else would take it and at 4 am messaged Wuvvum before anybody else jumped in. 

 

Now we his and hers Alfa 156 V6s!

[bramz7]

Glad it's gone to a good home. All because of that impulsive eBay bid I put on too....

[purplebargeken]

Despite their quirks these are wonderful cars.

[Crusty Sills]

Boundary Road, Norwich, just along from the Busseys Ford dealers.

I bought my first car from Boundary Road.
