As I approach 50 have learnt that I don’t care about what other people think, where I probably would at half that age. Generally these people base their opinions on stereotypes and these are the people with the problem.

Took a bright red Brera Spider home this weekend for detailing plus to shake down, cycle and bleed the roof.

It’s a car worth little but on a sunny evening, convertible cars give a very unique feeling. It’s actually very descent with virtually no scuttle shake.
Agreed. Had a Brera Spider until recently and what a stunning looking car for c £5 to £10k depending on age and miles. Engine and performance no great shakes, but so much more distinctive than TT or Z4

I’ve bonded with it, I like it. It’s a 20v 5cyl TD and pulls well. I was put off the 20v after AndyK sold me one, but I’ve forgiven him :p

You was put off....I still have the scares....Pile of sh1t. The Brera will always be another Alfa that looked great but wasn't that good. Shame as it could have been brilliant if it had the V6 from the GTV.....

I knew it would cause amusement but they are so comfortable and great for driving any of the cars :)

And shave 300kg off it and galvanise the subframes....then I agree.
