I actually have a car in 100% working order For a change! Needs nothing... NOTHING i say! (Beside a damn good valet )


Finally.. can i start enjoying coop ownership now?

And thanks to the guys who have helped me out





But not DanDan its his fault i'm here in the first place!

Dont know what you mean, looks like you have suffered a complete turbo failure to me

I think the pressure has finally got to him and he is hallucinating...

It is possible, I achieved it for the first time just before I sold it.

Enjoy





You've probably got 24 hours

Now go check your oil

You're clearly delusional and not worthy of owning an Italian car - there is NO SUCH THING as 'nothing wrong' - there's just problems you haven't discovered yet

I'm sure something will soon come up before long! but for now I can enjoy a problem free car



Quick someone buy it while all major jobs have been done and its not acting up !!!

Thats a bloody brave post! Enjoy it and make the most of it!

hmmm i said this, then 2weeks later the bottom end went!!

enjoy the moment!!

i hope to god your were touching wood (no funny business eye) cutting a rabbets leg off, chucking a salt celler over your shoulder and bathing in a sea of three leath clovers when you tapped that one out.....

otherwise ill see you mr CC's next week

I was but can i just say


.... I'm soooooooo scared something terrible its going to happen

But touch wood! And after this car has been completely sorted now if anything were to go wrong again (Anything major i mean)

I'll know Italian cars arent for me and i'll surrender it

something will go wrong after a while but then thats is the same with any car of that age

something will go wrong after a while but then thats is the same with any car of that age.

glad to see im not the only one getting double posts this morning!

yes, something WILL go wrong, but go and live in the moment

Well done Matty.

Hopefully I will get all of my GTV's niggles sorted before the winter.
Then I can enjoy some worry free motoring.

It's a rumor, there's no such think as a perfect working Fiat

symonh2000 Yes, next year was thinking Alfa GTV6 or Alfa Spider

There *is* something wrong with it.......it's bleedin' insipid yellow for gawd's sake!


Get it resprayed PDQ!

You could do worse, just make sure its a good one.

I've got a money pit Alfa Spider that I'm prepared to sell at the right price
With that one, you'll never again suffer from the worry of thinking that nothing needs doing

My GTV is showing signs of being expensive to keep as well unfortunately.

It is at that age where everything is wearing out at once.

well done matty

although i have to say, my 20v is still pretty much bulletproof, dare i say it, it is one of the most reliable cars i have ever owned!

if only blue rinsers would stop opening their doors into the side of me!!

'oh i'm sorry dear i must have parked a bit close'

Thanks shineyshoes! And hows the 16v Miss it alittle, but being my first ever coop i suppose i've got to have a soft spot for it!


Will look forward to bringing it to a meet!

no problems matey

yeah the 16v is doing good, service and cambelt next monday
been a bit delayed on getting it done!

lots of other bits and bobs done on her, you wouldnt recognise it now!!

I'm actually quite jealous! That car looked and sounded great! (most of the time)

I'm really looking forward to seeing it at a meet! You've got to let me know when shes all done
