Well, I collected the car last Monday & have now had a little time to play, despite the weather & my middle age aliments trying there best to stop me.

It's now run in so have access to all the driving modes, although saving race & associated launch control until its properly dry.

The best way to describe the driving experience is, it's a bit like taking my hyperactive spaniel for a walk...(he's a handsome fellow..much like the Alfa) You do end up going where you are heading, but your pulled left to right sniffing out all the hedgerows, with your arms pulled out of there sockets. If your walking at 5 mph he desperately wants to be doing double that & is panting & pulling at his lead, whilst I try my best to keep him at a sensible speed.
Once you reach some open park land & let him off his lead, he is like a thing possessed, fairly rapid for a spaniel, changes of direction & speed are instant.
On the way home once we've had our fun, things are a little calmer, the spaniel still panting & puffing, but we head back at a more relaxed space.
Once home he is filthy & requires a good clean.

I love my dog owning experience, I know when I take him out he's going to be a pain in the ****, but once he is unrestrained its a joy. Owning the Alfa appears to be much of the same, happy days!
