I was lucky enough to get a sponsored visit to Goodwood festival of speed on Friday. Alfa were exhibiting the 159 and Brera - both beautiful! They had a 159 Q4 JTS (not sure what engine - presumably 2.0), and a 159 2.4JTDM. There were actually 2 Brera's, 1 on static display and the other went up...

Couple of weeks ago a chap found himself down our cul-de-sac in error and suffered a diabetes episode, while reversing out he caught (very slightly) the front of my GT. He appeared as drunk as a lord, however the woman (later discovered to be his sister) explained the diabetes thing. They came...

Motors TV review on the V6 Brera he http://tinyurl.com/g3rdv The worrying bit for the Alfisti: "However, under the bonnet that classic Italian sensation is gone and that is the biggest criticism that can be made about the Brera. The 260 brake horsepower 3.2-litre V6 is GM built, or rather...

I popped into Perrys in Amersham at the weekend to check out the Brera. They have a black 2.4 diesel demonstrator. Very nice it is too. I asked how many they'd sold - 12 so far, 9 of which were the 3.2 V6. Not bad at all. They had a 159 Sportwagon in too. If you're a family man you'll be...

Alfa Romeo If you want to be a petrol-head you really need to have owned an Alfa Romeo at some point in your life. The problem with them is that they do break down a bit. But who cares, they are magnificent cars - take the Brera for example - what a lovely-looking car. In fact it's the automotive...

Is there still a British Motor Show at the NEC in Birmingham each year in August? I've not been to one of these since I think it was 1999. I'm sure I heard somewhere they stopped doing them in Birmingham? John

My 3 and a half year old 156 Veloce wheels (telephone dial type) are starting to show signs of bubbling in places, no doubt due to not cleaning them properly (hangs head in shame). Is it worth getting them stripped and refurbished, or will this just speed up the deterioration? Halmyre

'97 Alfa 155 1.8 TS. Clutch sank to the floor and decided not to return. Pulled the pedal up and still bugger all. Opened bonnet and the slave cylinder is leaking all over the show. Hey ho, at least it's one the outside of the gearbox, unlike the 156... --

Rear ended a Merc on the way to work this morning ! Traffic flow stopped, I didn't! Only doing about 15mph when I hit, but the front bumper, bonnet and wings are screwed. However, Engine seems fine - but its impossible to know yet if I've done anything nasty to the chasis - here's hoping not ! I...

The eternal pain in the bum for Alfisti Front nearside sidelight. £4 bloody 70 Pence! Skinned knuckles getting the old one out, go to local shop, get replacement, feels a bit iffy fitting in the holder, but this is Sunday, the shop has closed, so I tested it before replacing the holder -...

Where can I find other rear and front bumpers ? NON-original prefered. I find enough about the AR 156 & 147 but not for the 164. Do I have to look for an other brand or type which holes allmost match ? And customise them ? Or something alike ... Joe --- AR 164 3.0 V6
