Circling Vulture Finally Gets Its Prize

I have been waiting for over 12 months to write off an Alfa 156, today I finally did it. They have the sexiest repeaters of any car built, and I have got a pair Rescued attachment Repeaters.jpg

Come on Mark,how bad was the Alfa? Flat tyre,general wear and tear or was the ashtray full?

If you had waited for long enough outside our HQ - there are a few 156 company cars.... I'm sure it wouldn't be too long before these items fell off.

I used to love my Sud 1.5ti. It was awesome, I've never seen anything rot so fast. The electrics were really alternative with auto-flash on the headlights and intermittent wipers in all positions, way ahead of their time.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I was 24 hours away from fitting ones from a Rover 416, they are quite good, complete with bulb holders and looms, they have a nice black edging. I had given up hope of getting 156 ones - then in came the car. The front end looked like a half chewed stick of rhubarb. There were 2 jobs on the car, the second accident happened on the way to deliver the car to us for repair the first.

The owner got a bit smart and withdrew the claim on the first accident to save himself the £200 excess, but the even smarter insurance company then valued the car at £1000 less due to the pre second accident damage on the car!
