Alfa Giulia Quadrofoglio

On the bucket list is to own an Alfa one day.

Seems the Carabinieri got one of these before anyone else. 500bhp twin turbo V6 designed by Ferrari.

And in its road going form.

Another Alfa fan here, friends of ours had a fully loaded Mito Cloverleaf - she found driving it a nightmare due to back pain and they had to flog it after 6 months, the depreciation was horrific - the only people that would give them a realistic trade in were the Alfa garage they'd bought it from. Much as I'd like one, I'm not sure I could stomach that.

However, that pic is pure sex.....

I'd take it for a spin....

IMO, if you like cars then owning an Alfa is a must. I had a GTV for about 5 years, it covered the most enjoyable motoring i'd ever had to some of the most expensive. It was only the humble 2 litre engine, but once you worked out how to keep it wound up and stuff it into corners it was a joy to drive. The major downside was keeping it in petrol and oil !!!

The best Alfa memory I have was taking part in a world record attempt for the longest convoy of alfa's, there was several thousand that turned up all running nose to tail round the prescribed route... Now that was a sight, and as far as i know, not one of them broke down !!

Wifey had a little 145 cloverleaf. Fantastic engine in it.

We had a 156 after that and it lasted about 6 months before we handed it back.
