I used to fly Alitalia a lot, the planes and service was bad enough, just image if your coupe engine was rebuilt by them clicky

Based about 5 miles outside of Wrexham town centre in North Wales
It should read ALLitalia, not ALitalia

The Coupe is an excellent one and I was after it for a while, although it didn't have the leather seats that I wanted, I would have bought some and put some in it, just to have this car as it's been well looked after.
At the time though, it wasn't for sale and they wouldn't sell it as they loved it so much, but their circumstances have changed.
I now have my Coupe, but would have definately had this one if I was still looking

Full engine re-build at 71000 miles, but then a new turbo at 78500 Why was the faulty turbo not spotted during the re-build?

Allitalia's Crystal ball was probably out of order when the engine was done.

too right, its tells everyone ive just been burgled. My windows are broken, come grab whats left.

The standard code system is all needed.

And if someone wants ya system they will get it with whatever alarms fitted.

Dont start me if its a meta.

Coupes don't need a turbo timer as they are watercooled. Just ease off the loud pedal for the last mile and you will be fine.

I think the reason you cant fit a turbo timer to a coupe is that you'll always need to leave the car in gear because the hand brake is pants.
