Just as well the Alfa is on contract hire

A friend in the trade one stated that it is easier to get rid of herpes than an Alfa

I was happy for years living in a cheapish (for Stockbridge anyway) house and spending a large part of my income on cars, then my girlfriend moved in and 'prioritys' have changed (apparently :roll: )

still tempted to get something silly (I could even sell the other house I own in Linlithgow and get something REALLY silly :twisted: )
I have been getting my balls booted recently, she really wants me to sell the XKR (Costing me over £200 a month on insurance, and it gets used 3 or 4 times a month)...

I want to sell the house and move to the country out of Edinburgh. I could get 6 or 7 bedrooms compared to the 4 small bedrooms I have here, for the same price. Not that I would, but Edinburgh is far too overpriced and overhyped too.

Lotus Elise 111R - Chrome Orange, can't drive it for sh*t spec!

well I returned the GT this morning, while I did like it I won't be getting one, I think the 159 with a good spec would be a much better choice. Will tests drive one on Monday :D

Dave, any quotes yet?

Sorry mate, just back from London, got a good quote on the Alfa GT, but it seems you no likey anymore! The 159 for some reason came out at silly money, so i wouldn't go down that route.

I got a reasonable price on the 730 sport with the right toys in stock, but i will PM you all. Also have a very cheap A8 3.0 quattro prices circa £400p.m!

Cheers,

Dave :wink:

Mate,

Keeping in touch with everyone, always good to have contacts and was always keen to stay within the motor trade.

This way i make very little, but enjoy keeping in touch with what is happening car wise and prices.

Ross, the offer of beers has been on the table for a while, so just give me a shout!

Cheers,

Dave :wink:
