Best Alfa of recent times was the 164.

What a pretentious and snobby attitude (IMHO of course). By that token, anyone who enjoys a Saab must also know and love a Triumph Dolomite, or BMW enthusiasts must enjoy and be aware of the Dixi !

Agreed. You pay for the privilege in maintenance though. But better to be poor but happy, eh?

And yes I like the Mito - first real Mini-killer IMO

Surely you're not going to DRIVE it, are you? You'd only want to polish it and sit inside to smell the leather, fnarr, fnarr.
