G'day all,

Thought it was about time I registed for the online version of the club ...

I've been a member for quite a while but haven't owned an Alfa for a couple of years now since selling my Alfa 75.  Hopefully this situation might change later this year when my wife gives back her company car & reclaims our Subaru that I'm currently driving.  I will of course then need to get some suitable "replacement transport" and Alfas are on the appoved list 

Haven't decided on exactly what I want yet, but 156's are likely to be strong contenders...

Cheers - Ian.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the tips ... I checked out a few 156's over the weekend but so far I'm not sure they're quite what I'll need when it comes time to change over cars.  Definitely a nice drive but felt a little smaller than I expected plus I found myself still yearning for the sound & torque of my old V6 (minus the "issues" you get with an ageing car of course!).  Maybe I'm just a sucker for the "old" rear wheel drive Alfas after all ... so perhaps my next Alfa is destined to be a restorer instead?

I'll just need to get the garage cleaned up first (and that could take a while ...  )

Cheers - Ian
