[QUOTE="KSW, post: 3898567, member: 8708"]Of course! Love it, I didn’t see what it was eating:hilarious: and I definitely hadn’t linked it to Alfa Romeo. I’m allergic to Alfa’s (especially red ones) after we were run off the road by one many years ago. The twist in the tale was that several months later it turned up smashed to bits in the yard of a recovery company my OH worked for at the time. He obviously pushed his luck once too many times. My best loved car was my Landrover Discovery but it got to be a joke that every time I got out of it I would kneel down to see what type of life blood was draining out of it this time. It cost me a fortune to run and maintain but was such fun when we went off roading. I’m now demoted to a Nissan Qashqai which is excellent on fuel and deadly boring. I also loved my Saab 93 which finally needed too much work at 225k miles. Worst car ever when I was young was a white Ford escort ex police car which had obviously been in a shunt at some point and would randomly deviate sharply to the left with no warning. Happily someone torched it when it was parked up. Not me I hasten to add although very tempted.[/QUOTE]
