Appropriate pictures are always welcomed at the Official Web Site www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk instructions on how to send them are available from the Webmaster. 3) No Trade Adverts are permitted UNLESS they are specifically relevant to Alfa Romeo sales or service. 4) Private adverts are welcome, but ONLY for Alfa Romeos, and associated parts / services. Please include details, prices and geographical location. 5) Please post in English if you can. You will get more replies. 6) Please do not post in non european character sets 8) If you are going to post for help / advice / general questions, please be aware that you may get quite a lot of e-mail. It would be nice if you answered it. These people are trying to help, and it's only polite. When replying by email please put ALFA in the Subject line to help people spot your reply from amongst the junk. 9) If you are posting a technical question, please give as many details as possible: Bare minimum: Model Year (UK Reg letters are meaningless to the rest of the world) Engine size Mileage Symptoms 10) Google is your friend.

These Subjects are not included so as to stifle further debate on these issues and people with the same questions are still welcomed to post to the group. Your re-asking a question could very well show new light for us all to profit from. #-------------------# What is the best way to join in at alt.autos.alfa-romeo Google is not the best way to read and post info to the Group.

Trying to resist bursting the dozens of inflatable snowmen, santas, etc., that have appeared in the village amongst enough lights to illuminate a small rural town for a year. Just think how much energy these people use. Yet people moan at us for wanting to burn the oil reserves in feeding our beautiful cars. Blimey. What is the country coming to <LOL> |

You do realise that I have passed the 30K mark now? At bit of comfort and joy to my local garage till as they pour a few pints of the golden nectar into the car.
