Well according to Clarkson I can now officially call myself a petrolhead...picked up this morning, bit wet to really give it a proper drive but can already tell it's going to be fantastic to do so; the delicate steering feel is great.
Although I think I might look to get some Pilot Sports on it sooner than later as heard the P Zeros are very fair weather tires!

Well done, although strictly speaking Clarkson is / was wrong. You see anyone can buy an Alfa Romeo. Only a petrolhead would be silly enough to buy a second one.Although I think I might look to get some Pilot Sports on it sooner than later as heard the P Zeros are very fair weather tires!

I can recommend the Michelins by the way.

We morons try to cover the risk of non-starting by having a suitably large number of Alfas available. One of them will always start... ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)

Sorry, I think that’s not quite accurate. I follow the excellent logic as far as it goes but, surely, none of them is guaranteed to start every time but at least one should at any given point! ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)

I can't complain at all on this front, but realise that in posting this I have damned myself. Will pack a massive toolkit just in case.

Racked up about 4k kms in 2.5 months and the Twinny behaved pretty good.
Tour to a car gallery, and as always there's good company to keep the spirits high.
Two wheels I know... The original Teardrops will be kept for summer (fresh Vreddie Ultracs in April) and two 10-point stars are waiting for two new Wintracs and a set of spacers to fill the gaps and keep the rear brakes clear.
Next: sorting a list of minor niggles and 305 brakes up front. Thinking about Sparco buckets to replace the original Lusso Momo leather. Kart-like behaviour does not like sliding bums, and the wife agrees...
