aad 0 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Ayup everyone, ok i dont get on this forum much due to work and spending time with my daughter etc, but dont slate me please'' i have still got my baby (s/c vr6).I was going to get a r32 but when i test drove it as nice as they are it did not do it for me sorry.The car i have bought is a alfa 147 gta with imola leather it is well...... what can i say i am in love with the noise and power,IMHO it is better than a r32 faster and so panache and fully loaded.I only like v6 power or a six cylinder i am not keen on the turbo thing it is just not me, put the gta in 6th gear it is effortless 30 40 mph it goes, i did not believe it until i went to have a look and test drove it.It has had the brake upgrade 330mm from 305mm with bigger brembo callipers,which you can see through the teledial wheels.Picking the car up in January because of crimbo & newyear ect will post pics when i get it so I'm ready for a shooting down Ready for a new car but the vr is still on my drive.I am waving the white flag now Link to post Share on other sites

Gibs20 0 Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Love the look of the 147 GTA and the interior is awesome, only thing that would put me off is Alfas reputation for reliability. Link to post Share on other sites
