Yeah I know, another one of those… I’ve been here before with a Coupe GT, but it was a decade ago and things didn’t matter as much in those days. Here’s the twist; I need to present data that a MY2003 4200 is barely more expensive to run than an Audi B7 RS4. If I can, then I can have one...

I'm probably looking for a manual Spyder soon as I no longer need to commute by car... This one turned up on a search yesterday. Yes it's scruffy, yes it's got a partial history BUT it's the right colour inside and out, the MOT history/mileage is consistent and it has the right sort of gearbox...

Hello chaps, as was always the plan, it's time for the Alfa to go to a new home! 1972 (tax free) 2000 Veloce, Alfa red with brand new cream leather and less than 5k miles on newly rebuilt and blueprinted engine. Uprated and lowered suspension, uprated discs and pads, brand new Toyo R888...

A few of you will know that I have owned a 1981 Esprit since 2004 but had never driven it as it was bought in bits. It has been restored in dribs and drabs since then when funds permitted and other projects (Marcos/4200/Astons) weren't in the way. Well last Tuesday I finally went to collect...

What a car, did me proud and earned it's place - we'll keep it for a while now :) Full body restoration and rebuild, uprated brakes, lowered on new Bilsteins, high lift cams, 2 x twin choke Dellortos, K&N filters, full Alfaholics exhaust, short diff from 1300. Went like a rocket and was...

Went to have a look at a couple at Rardleys down by Hindhead Tunnel, of course enjoying the tunnel while I was there as well ;) Initial impression is - I love them! Most I have seen are Tour de France, Le Mans or Scuro blue anyway and all have either a tan or crema interior. The interior is...

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2877834.htm Fer cryin' out loud, £13.5k?? That's absurd! Do we feel this is a seasonal adjustment or will they stay there? Can see me in one of them in a few months if they stay like that. Money is in the bank right now but apparently some group called...

For me it was the Rover Coupe Turbo. When I was a 17yr old kid (20yrs ago) this thing was 19 grand which was a fortune. Loved the look, loved the power (200bhp was a lot!), LOVED the targa glass roof, such a nice place to sit roof on or off. Just thought it was cool. Turns out I still do...

Didn't realise how much I missed having a Porsche! The plan started with a sub-£7k Boxster and as ever with budget creep, ended up with a 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet. I suppose the fact I have 3 massive pictures of Porsche 917s on my wall, all the models and so on should have told me I was and...

Just sent to me at work! I suspect mostly the work of Tim Vine and I think we've had a few on here before... But a few new ones! A mate of mine recently admitted to being addicted to brake fluid. When I quizzed him on it he reckoned he could stop any time..... I had a mate who was...

Passing on my GT after only a few months of very pleasant ownership, a wonderful car but we need to get back in a cabriolet, we miss our 964 too much! Already have a 1972 Spider so our Alfa needs are being met. Gabbiano blue with black leather and blue stitching. Bose sound system, cruise...

Anybody any experience of them? I do like my GT but find I don't drive it unless the weather is bad, which is a bit of a waste of a lovely car. I also miss having a second roofless GT car since the 911 went, as a backup if you will. Love my Spider and that's not for sale, but thinking the Q4...

DATE NOW CONFIRMED AS WEEKEND OF 14 APRIL 2012 Just watching old Top Gear and fiddling with Google Maps. Le Havre to Monte Carlo is 736miles if you go to Grenoble and drive the famous Route Napoleon, very easily doable over 2 days, or even one day with the right level of commitment (i.e...

That's where I'm off to tomorrow! Spur of the moment, just decided nothing else to do this weekend so blasting down to Pareee in the Alfa GT, perfect trip for it, 10hrs of motorways with cruise control and the option for a bit of fun if the need arises :) I was hoping we could have done this...

Three of these on Pistonheads right now for under £5k. I made a mistake selling the 911. The Alfa, although lovely is unusably slow and I don't trust it, the Marcos is unuseably fast, cramped, loud and is beyond awful in the rain. The Esprit is a period car to be used for shows ...

After AutoItalia at Brooklands today, decided to satisfy the Italian car bug with an Alfa spider, the 70/80s sort. Very few on Pistonheads, where are the other places to look for good ones? Think a boat-tailed car is out of my range (looking for cheap fun, oo-er) but if possible... well...

Just seen my first 458 actually on the move - have seen plenty of them static, first one actually moving, albeit slowly up Putney Hill! Lovely proportions, lovely noise, was a dark red (like an 8C) and looked great. F355 was too wide, 360 and 430 are too heavy at the rear, but this was very...

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2562764.htm I really thought I didn't like the colourscheme, would be the last thing I'd have on a Ferrari. But it seems somehow right on this car, so... Italian! Never seen another like it, think I am a little bit in love.

Musing out loud here (metaphorically...) Am doing Le Mans in the DB9. Will be all stickered up, leaving Weds night, back Monday evening, a lot of miles as 100miles/day round trip to circuit. Can't wait, main event of the year for me! However, have just signed up to do SpaItalia the weekend...

Not really Maserati but a friend is organising (via a Lotus forum) an evening with Jackie Oliver and Alan Henry to talk about the Porsche 917 and their racing exploits with it. The evening would be a Saturday in April and at the BRDC clubhouse at Silverstone. I fear it will be an enthusiasts...
