I agree Sav

I think I'd sell a kidney for a chance with Amy McDonald.

Seriously though. How adorable is she with that accent? The car thing is just a bonus. Is her music any good? I haven't listened to any of it.

Or as reliable after the mods... New Fiesta ST is coming and claims 0-100km/h in 6.9sec..

Going to be an awesome car!! That was going to be my next car, then I got impatient and started looking at other options until the 86 (luckily) came along.

It definitely took too long I'm afraid... the sad truth is that there are so many more practical options out there at this price range. Oh wait, we wanted to have fun, I think we made the right choice!

sav · 02-12-2013, 05:09 PM

Of course we did.

None of the options I've looked at would have been much more practical though, I just wanted a fun car no matter what.

She's very oulik with that accent. Love it.

this is the car i was hoping would be available/affordable in 2012: http://www.whatcar.com/car-news/alfa...vealed/265278/
it does seem though they cut back production numbers a lot from the initial announcement and the cost also seems likely to be a lot higher than initially said. (30K GBP)

sav · 02-13-2013, 01:58 AM

That is a damn good looking car. There is just no way I'd ever buy a Fiat/Alfa.

Alang · 02-13-2013, 02:20 AM

Will be beautiful when it comes out, but probably way more expensive than an 86.
Also our cars will be way quicker! The 4C will kill us for the first 100 meters but then it'll break down and we'll go sailing past

it's the best car porn i've ever seen, the interior is just as bold as the outside. (there are some vids on youtube)
but given how poorly the 8C was rated when it came out, i wonder if alfa can pull off a car that drives as good as it looks (taking grammatical liberty)

Watched JC on Top Gear reading a book while drifting. Damn, he is sooooooooo funny. My buddy with an OPC Astra is not very happy that the 86 beat his car.

sav · 02-15-2013, 06:32 AM

Why is he surprised? Previous gen OPC had way too much power and not a good enough chassis to match.

Ya those OPC's suffered terrible torque-steer, especially when further modified.

sav · 02-15-2013, 06:49 AM

Torque steer, under steer, it's got all the steers except the right one - OVER steer.
