The Alfa is gone and I'm off to collect my new 20vt this morning. Almost a year since I've driven one so looking forward to this.

And no, I didn't break the Alfa for spares

Nice one Joe - don't stack it in the snow!!

Good luck

Welcome back Joe

The roads seem Ok, but I'm relying on trains to get me there so anticipating a long day of waiting around.

Good luck Joe, and enjoy the drive back (weather permitting!)

Did you break the Alfa for spares?

Nope, sold it.

For how much?

Welcome back then Joe is this one a keeper then???

Welcome back to Coupe ownership Joe

Good luck with the roads Joe. No idea where you're getting it from but avoid the M25!

Yeah thats the plan. I loved the way the Alfa looked, and it went well once I'd had it remapped but if driven (and I don't mean thrashed) enthusiastically I was getting 38-42 mpg. I just got to thinking for a small compromise in mpg (arguably offset by petrol being cheaper than diesel) I may as well be running a coupe.

The other half is none too happy mind

Nice one Joe pics ASAP.

I despise public transport but I have to say the train services have been brilliant, all 4 trains on time. A welcome surprise.

FOUR trains? Are you a spotter? That's better from me to Shrewsbury to pick mine up!

Good luck Joe, lets see some pictures.

Take it easy on the way back up the m1 Joe, nice to meet you and enjoy the car its going to be sadly missed.

From a trained eye, clearly..

Looks like you have a personal plate there aswell joe....

Isn't that the Zender kit?

Nice one Joe78, just in time for the East Mids meet

Just got back, pretty happy with it or I will be once i've removed those dash and heater rings / not my cup of tea.

Thanks Shaun, nice to meet you too.

Diesel suit someone though.
