    Any love for the Dino 308GT4...?

    It’s got stick on Ferrari chav shields but is a 1975 car, they weren’t badged as Ferrari until 1976 ☹

    So here you go, I'm looking for a gallardo

    I don’t think you’ll get very good odds on P&O!

    My 147 GTA

    Whilst it looks similar to Verde Artic, the metallic green that was available on the 147 GTA was actually a unique GTA colour called Verde Boreale, colour code 379/A

    Run of the mill car

    Strangely, yes I think you can register stuff like that, you see plenty of adverts for replicas where it states that the car is “registered as a Ferrari” etc

    Run of the mill car

    I would suggest that’s a replica, a pretty good one but the wheels and ride height don’t look quite right. The side profile particularly around the front of the door is also a bit off as are the side skirts, you would normally only see those on an 88.5QV. Whilst it seems to be registered as a...

    Alfa V6

    this thread may be of use, as usual with forums each person has their own views and experiences but there seem to be a wide variety of suspension setups in the discussions: https://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-gta/88109-coilover-decision-kw-or-eibach.html

    Alfa V6

    KW coilovers are widely regarded as the best setup these days, they're quite expensive though.

    do I win the warm beverage vis a vis your Biturbo article in the mag? :)

    Alfa V6

    I'm a serial Alfa owner but currently holding down a tuned 147 Ducati Corse as my daily driver :)

    Alfa V6

    The reason for fitting the Q2 to the 3.2 V6 is not just for handling, it is considered an essential upgrade because the original diffs tend to explode and blow a hole in the gearbox casing - its not a case of if it will happen, its when... I have a Q2 on my car and you can pretty well go around...

    4c service

    Jamie Porter (Alfa Workshop) are widely regarded to be the best 4C experts in the UK. I wouldn't trust an Alfa main dealer to service my bike and I think most potential buyers of used 4Cs would tend to agree. I therefore don't think a non main dealer service history would be likely to affect...

    Evo1 starter motor

    ah sorry I was thinking of the earlier cars

    Evo1 starter motor

    Try Tanc Barratt or Walkers. Starter can be changed from the top, you need to unbolt the expansion tank and move it out of the way, its a very fiddly job but doable with patience.

    Lamborghini Huracán Performante in the flesh

    Its called Forged Carbon and is lighter and stronger than standard carbon fibre, it also allows you to form more complex shapes, curves, transitional thicknesses etc

    Please tell me about the GTV 3.0 V6 24V...

    in my view yes it does, sounds like a baby V10 Lamborghini engine, but what do I know? I have very bad taste in cars, I like the most hated eras of Maserati and Alfa Romeo :):):)

    Please tell me about the GTV 3.0 V6 24V...

    Another reason to choose the Fiat Coupe 20 V Turbo :) It also looks much nicer than the GTV, it goes much faster and it sounds better than the V6. Its also lighter and corners better, what's not to like? :) The only logical reason why they didn't outsell the GTV is badge snobbery.

    Please tell me about the GTV 3.0 V6 24V...

    I'd forget the GTV and buy a Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo :)
