I can't believe you found one still in one piece. they were already rusting on the way over from Italy when new. a great shame, as it was a brilliant car

@devo4g63 There's no doubt about it, we've obviously discovered the secret of the universe, and to think it was hiding in the AlfaSud all this time! I'll see you when we pick up our Nobel peace prize. Cheers.

@kaferere Maybe we have stumbled across the proof that car do indeed have a 'sole', something that many of us have know for a long time! LOL. I think that your summary is very in depth, and may also show that the law of attraction indeed exists, just as you were attracted by the mind set, and composing style of Chopin, I was and am attracted to the engineering brilliance that is Porsche? Something to think about, regards, Glen.

@devo4g63 It's always strange when you realize that your personal taste has been consistent without being aware of it. I had no idea that Porsche designed the cars you mention but you must have subconsciously appreciated something common to them. In the same way, I can't claim to be a classical music fan but all the classical stuff I loved as a kid turned out to be written by Chopin! I had no idea at the time. Maybe you were Porsche in a previous life and wanted to revisit your cars!!! LOL.

@kaferere It's funny that you mention this, as I started out driving an Alfasud, and now drive a Volvo 850 T5! I actually believe that there are designs flaws in the 850, and would love to go back to an Alfa. An interesting side note, is that both the Alfasud and Volvo 850, were designed by Porsche (something that I learnt after buying both cars). I have also owned two Porsches, and think that they have their bad points as well, but as they say, 'Once an Alfa driver, always an Alfa driver'!!!

@kaferere =) Italians build excitement, not appliances
