    Week days are pretty stacked out for me with work, however, fri afternoons are usually free and I can sneak an hour or two at the weekends!

    TMC traffic updates

    I have no idea what TMC is, but I believe what you are doing wrong is sitting in a traffic jam with the windows up. Open them, blip the pedal on the right. Time appears to pass quicker and in no time you are home. Hope that helps ;-))

    Discounts on nearly new Alfa's???

    You won't be laughed out at 1500 discount. I'd go for more. Unless you stand up and go to walk out of the showroom you aren't trying hard enough! I am not up on Giulietta pricing, so can't say if the one you linked to is fairly priced or not (though I am looking at buying one maybe next year)...

    Popped into McLaren Brum this morning. I got my dates wrong, it doesn't open until Weds... However, the front door was open, so in I went. I was pleasantly surprised, it was nowhere near as sterile as I thought it was going to be. It wasn't a sea of comfy sofas and mocha choca coffee machines...

    It's a bit bland tbh, nice and clean and shiny, but not a lot of soul to it. It reminds me a bit of the McLaren Technical Centre. I suspect the McLaren showroom in Brum will be much the same. I much prefer the look of somewhere like Dick Lovett in Swindon, loads of cars crammed in, bit of...

    You have to admire their ambition, but I think they may have bitten a little bit more off than they can chew trying to develop so much product in such a short period...

    Oh it will sell Adam, 50k is a lot of money, but there are a lot of Alfa fans out there who have stuck with the marque even as the cars literally fell apart around them. Rumour is a total production run of 15000 worldwide. About 3000 a year. Easy. Of course, this assumes Alfa deliver on the...

    Yep, that's what the guys at Graypaul Brum told me, they were the first to have the new look. Mind you, there could be cork tiles on the floor, pebbledash on the walls and space hoppers hanging from the ceiling and I wouldn't notice with all the cars to look at ;-)

    Opened last weekend I believe. If it isn't I can always pop into Graypaul :-)

    I think I might have to pop up to McLaren Brum tomorrow for a bit of a look round...

    Saw one at Millbrook the other day in a light blue. Didn't think it would work with that colour, but it did.

    If you think it looks stunning in the pics (apart from the blurred interior shot that I attached by accident) you should see it in the flesh. I spent a good 15 minutes in the same spot just watching it go round!
