    Every man should own an Alfa at some point in time.

    I currently have one.

    I'd wager you wouldn't say that if ze Germans hadn't fixed them. They are such pretty cars and I always wanted a GTV6

    Ze Germans? I know they spent a shitload trying to develop this car. I drove the quadrifoglio which has a cut down ferrari V6. The GTV was a pretty car

    My error - I was thinking of Lambos.

    But the long held idea (justified) that your alfa will spend as much time in the workshop as on the road has thankfully not happened to me. But they are not without their idiosyncrasies. Everytime you look at that silhouette or drive it she is forgiven

    The 159 saved Alfa really. As always beautiful to look at but the 159 actually worked too. I had one for three years with no problems.

    Can you bogans start a car thread instead of ruining the movie thread. 😉

    This was completely true of my mate's Alfa. Ah crap, now I've joined in.

    Which engine?

    I was really taken with the car last night. Would love to know if the noise it was making was standard or generated. Sounded amazing.

    I had a 147 GTA about 18 years ago and didn’t have any issues other than the leather around the gear stick got worn a bit. Mechanically didn’t miss a beat and I gave that 6cyl a decent workout.

    Today I saw a Toyota Tundra for the first time. They had to park it in a temporary space outside our hotel because it didn't fit in the carpark.

    First impressions: obscenely large. Would fit 5 adults easily, sure, but how often will you be doing that?

    Land Cruiser is smaller! This thing is quoted at nearly 6.5 metres... 🤔 depending on config.

    I see a few of these around now - Dodge RAM 1500, Chevy Silverado, and of course the F150. The staple trucks in our back yard are getting bigger too in terms of the Hilux, Triton, Ranger etc.

    Short of needing to tow an obscenely large caravan or horse trailer, I'm not convinced anyone needs that much truck in terms of the Tundra.

    "But rural people" I hear from some who have lifestyle blocks (because they need a fucking huge shed to park in). Yeah doesn't always add up - you can get more tray for less money and better performance on dirt and the farm.

    When I see that the height + width of this is nearly the same as my dream Rivian R1T, I start to question my choices, having seen it in the metal...
