New tintop or not?
I think i want a new tintop (i do about every month though ;-)) I've got a Xantia Activa turbo at the moment.
I like a fair bit of torque, nice looks (don't ask about the Xantia...) and something that stands out from the crowd. Decent roadholding would
be nice, too.
I think i've narrowed the choice down to the following cars:
1) alfa 156 V6 (2,5 with the option of upgrading to a 3,0 later!)
2) Coupe fiat 16V turbo (with the integrale lump) might not be the best built car in the world though...
3) Coupe fiat 20V turbo (5-cyl, sounds lovely, but may be a bit pricey)
4) Xantia activa 3,0 V6 (oooww, what an engine!)
5) Keep current car and don't whinge ;-)
Either way, i'll be converting to LPG and i DO NOT LIKE DISEASELS! so don't suggest one, please...

Still make you die, though ;-)
Don't particularly like the 406 coupe, plus its much more expensive then the other choices over here

If you dont like oil burners, you should read this months PPC, never know it may change your point of view. Can be made to gross mega HP, AND be more
economical. Regards Ray

Go for the Fiat Coupe 20VT, you won't regret it. I have had one for over two years and 50k miles and still love it. An lpg conversion would get
over the only problem I have with it - the fuel consumption. It is actually ok, but with the mileage I do it costs me a lot! Apparently you get more
power with lpg too. Oh yeah, remember to get the cambelt changed at regular intervals too.
