    I love that description, but I'd say that the two Alfas I've owned were more reliable than several of the more common Japanese/European brands that I've had.

    Had one as a hire car - very nice and stable round bends and good shove for 2.0 petrol. A bit frilly and fancy for my tastes though.

    Who did he donate it to, you?

    Nope, they're just driven by slightly different arseholes. Still complete though.

    Trade in will be fun, unless you've the evidence that the fix has been applied it will probably not sell at all. With fix the value may be heavily reduced, still I'm sure you can get the BMW of your dreams to over when you've arranged the finance.

    Literacy still at the nursery school levels I see, still a BMW driver doesn't need brains, just an ego to stroke.

    I wouldn't be that surprised if you are forced to get it fixed, since you are paying road tax based on emissions levels aren't you?

    My bad... tuning would be a waste of time, accept the recall, sell and buy something quick
