Alfa GT.

[Barry Cade]

I didn’t end up driving the CRZ home, it was just a little too crusty for me to take in at the moment,  but had a great afternoon with @oxb1l chatting cars! It definitely got me out of my post Christmas gloom. On getting home, not 1 but 2 of the cars I had been searching for popped up. Chose one, messaged, agreed.. and now I'm up at 5am waiting kn my first train to......

Royston.. and not the Glasgow one..  its gonna be a long day! And its -4..

Last train.. Royston next.

I have to say, these train things are great! Seamless trip from Scotch to nearly London in a morning. Impressed!

[comfortablynumb]

Yeah, they work fine, on the days when a lot of people don't want to use them...🤣

I mind that edition of Top Gear magazine, I had that one, oh aye… makes sense now! I hope you have been enjoying them. All the best with your collection journey. 

[Barry Cade]

Collected and pointed north! Great seller- a Lithuanian chap. Money and paperwork exchanged. Oh yes. The pez shot...

[N Dentressangle]

V nice. Look like they should be worth FAR more than they are.

Well done, I'm glad there are people mental enough to attempt a long journey northbound on a freezing NYE in an eighteen year old Alfa. 

May your merging be in turn.

i stand by my earlier comment

Safe miles!  I've been across town and back today and I'm absolutely not stirring out again.  OTOH I've somehow never driven an Alfa yet... not sure the very middle of winter is the right time to start!

[Barry Cade]

Right. HOUSTON.. we have a problem....

 

 

I stopped and had a Wendy's burger, now I've got raging indigestion,  stopped at the services near Doncaster on the hunt for some Rennies..

Alfa is perfect.. needs a thermostat though, so the heatings set to 25, instead of the usual 22.

Excellent. 

Dare i ask if it has shiny inlet manifolds?

Afraid not, but its not a chuffin' diesel.. a diesel Alfa is like a ham and custard sandwich.

Yesssss!
