Re: Anyone bought a new car recently?
Geeky Alpine fact 1: The A110 has the washed nozzles built into the windscreen wiper so that it reduces the windscreen washer bottle from 3.5kg to 1.5kg - true Lotus saving ethos
Geeky Alpine fact 2: As DJ has got an Atelier colour, Alpine limit this exact colour to only 110 Alpine's so once they have been built them they will not make any more of the exact same colour - slightly different approach to Porsche PTS where £ dictate rather than exclusivity.
Apologies if I have gone too Alpine geeky

Not been on here for a few years but after selling my Cayman R, I logged on here to find an SE'ers details to ask a few questions about my next potential purchase, and have now bought an Alpine A110. I had to travel down south to buy it and drove the 460 miles home at the weekend. Went for a very understated Atelier colour![]()
Nowhere near the level of supercars posted on this thread of late, but definitely up there in terms of fun!
Looks stunning! I saw Angus last weekend and he said you were looking at one but not in that colour!

Cheers, Mark

Love those Alpines
and never seen one in Scandal before
@Renmure there's a titanium grey one cuts about the Dundee area, and I've seen white too, but yeah the blue is by far the most common!

Re: Anyone bought a new car recently?
Thanks all, for the comments. I did pause before I bought it but after 3 months of looking at mainly blue ones, this just stood out to me.
Cheers, Mark. Got Whatsapp'd a couple of cracking pics of your car going up the Furka Pass. Looked like a great trip!

Hey Dixon,
Alpine looks great, they are quick cars
Even in a V6 you need to pedal to stay ahead
Safe and happy motoring
Cheers
