Just as well the Alfa is on contract hire
A friend in the trade one stated that it is easier to get rid of herpes than an Alfa

David Bryce wrote:aye, will definitely be looking for another in Stocky
I was happy for years living in a cheapish (for Stockbridge anyway) house and spending a large part of my income on cars, then my girlfriend moved in and 'prioritys' have changed (apparently

)
still tempted to get something silly (I could even sell the other house I own in Linlithgow and get something REALLY silly

)
I have been getting my balls booted recently, she really wants me to sell the XKR (Costing me over £200 a month on insurance, and it gets used 3 or 4 times a month)...
I want to sell the house and move to the country out of Edinburgh. I could get 6 or 7 bedrooms compared to the 4 small bedrooms I have here, for the same price. Not that I would, but Edinburgh is far too overpriced and overhyped too.

Lotus Elise 111R - Chrome Orange, can't drive it for sh*t spec!

well I returned the GT this morning, while I did like it I won't be getting one, I think the 159 with a good spec would be a much better choice. Will tests drive one on Monday
Dave, any quotes yet?

Sorry mate, just back from London, got a good quote on the Alfa GT, but it seems you no likey anymore! The 159 for some reason came out at silly money, so i wouldn't go down that route.
I got a reasonable price on the 730 sport with the right toys in stock, but i will PM you all. Also have a very cheap A8 3.0 quattro prices circa £400p.m!
Cheers,
Dave

Back of autocar this month has baby Astons for 399 pcm. I admit you do need quite a big deposit and I have no idea how these things work but it has been fuelling my daydreams for the last few days.

Mate,
Keeping in touch with everyone, always good to have contacts and was always keen to stay within the motor trade.
This way i make very little, but enjoy keeping in touch with what is happening car wise and prices.
Ross, the offer of beers has been on the table for a while, so just give me a shout!
Cheers,
Dave
