cruiser647 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Italian = heart & sole German = Head Drove a 156 Selespeed jobbie - what a drive! Fantastic 2l engine with the Devil inside trying to geet out. Have only had 2 Italian cars (3 if you include the wife Brava) - I had a 1.3 Alfasud, and a Lancia 16v Thema ie. Both were fantastic drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wadders67 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I think they saying goes "Alfa Romeo, when the head says BMW and the heart says Ferrari" Although, that may be pushing it a bit...lol Currently I have a 156 2.0TS Veloce and a Z4 2.5....love them both!!

felixthecat1 Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hi and welcome. I've flirted with the idea of a 156 for many years now after driving a 2.5 V6. I've never taken the leap though. My boss had a 166 3.0 V6 that I drove a few times too and that was nice. Reliability has always put me off though, and with the 166 this was a major problem. It was even delivered with a flat battery. Things went downhill from there. He had it on a three year contract hire but cancelled it after just two and now drives a 525!. As you can see from the sig' I have a Volvo now and have to admit I don't regret it. I love the build, toys, performance and size. Maybe I'll get an Alfa next time eh!
