    Northamptonshire owners meet?

    Yes, a couple of months back. Not through boredom, might I add. Something was presented that I had to grab when the timing was right and the Maserati was the funding. Ah well, another time.... I want a Granturismo but that will take a while :(

    Northamptonshire owners meet?

    That worked well last time, and the location was close enough but did allow for a drive out. Totally agree.

    159 3.2JTS Q4 Lusso, the good and the bad please

    That, is lovely and no doubt worth every penny but having sold my lovely Maserati to throw into shares it's not left me much to play with in terms of cash, certainly not £7.5 :(

    Ah, twitbook and faceter, don't do all that status, tweet stuff. Do you have another way to see it?

    159 3.2JTS Q4 Lusso, the good and the bad please

    I'm not a fan of the GT shape really. I'm mesmerised by the headlights on the 159 and the Brera at present.

    159 3.2JTS Q4 Lusso, the good and the bad please

    Sorry, another question to the educated. Is the engine fitted to these a genuine Alfa engine or a butchered one from another manufacturer?

    Hmmm, in the advert is says the 'chain' has been changed - See title of advert "Alfa Romeo 159 3.2JTS Lusso 4dr 4WD RARE 3.2 4WD NEW CAM CHAIN" Is he totally misinformed or is it indeed a chain as he mentions. Or...Is he referring to a chain drive between cams? I'm new to these but WILL read up.

    159 3.2JTS Q4 Lusso, the good and the bad please

    Hello all, I'm a possible newbie to the Alfa brand but I'm not new to the Italian car way of thinking, having recently sold on a Maserati. I sold that to fund a share purchase but I'm missing that little sparkle that the brand and the looks gave me. Having bought a Golf V6 4motion as...

    Banburyshire Meet

    Just got home? Wow that traffic must have been bad! Zagatoes30 nearly got wiped out on the M40 roundabout by a completely thoughtless driver in a 7 seat moron carrier and I had a slightly sideways moment a little later on a torrent of water across the road.

    Banburyshire Meet

    Well wasn't that all jolly civilised :) I enjoyed meeting all those new faces but you'll have to excuse my memory when we next meet, I have no capacity for names :( I'd be more that happy to come to the next one, whenever that may be. Good food, surroundings and company. Thanks for organising!

    Banburyshire Meet

    Yep, me too with the cleaning bit. Even got the dremmel and Autosol out on the tail pipes, they were very dull. All washed, clayed and waxed ready for a run out. While I remember. I think there's a Pistonheads meet up at the Jaguar plant from memory so there may be some nice machiney floating...

    I'm still in. Must wash car, or face the shame.

    Banburyshire Meet

    I'll be fine with a roast, or sausage and mash, or ham egg and chips, or pretty much most of a pub menu. Roast beef first though :)

    I suspect you may be correct :) Julian is indeed the MD/owner of Racelogic, where I work.

    Yes, my first copy of the newsletter and there we are! it's a wide shot of the Maseratis parked up at Silverstone on the grass. There at the back is you, me and my son stood in front of your car. I'll take a picture later and try to get it up, unless anyone has it to hand?
