Hagus Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 It's a lovingly restored widebody Carrera. It's actually not a car, it's like a horse with a distinctly strong personality. If I'm good to it, it won't throw me off the saddle. If I mistreat it, it will kill me. It makes the daily drive my favorite part of every day I like that ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Having four kids I needed something with a little more space, robust enough to survive a few years and not too big so we are able to find a parking lot in under 30min The HP beasts I had when I was young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfalover Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Really? If it's true I'll try! I'm sort of serious because I'm 23, I work hard, I am English, Italian and spanish mothertongue (kind of rare) and I have studied aeronautics but I don't see any wealth in my future. Speaking many languages is revealing useless even though I work hard and they appreciate it, I sistematically get underpaid. What would you guys do in my place? I know I'm off topic, I'm sorryHard work and offshore investments. Hahahaha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now working in a bar for 700€, 13 hours a day in the Canary Islands.

At 23yo it is a normal salary here too (sono di Varese) unless you are so lucky to find a "real" long term job.And the working situation is messy even for experienced people with highly specialized knowledge, and responsibilities, like myself I have a 200kkm Alfa 156, still a great car with a fantastic frame and suspensions.Only modifications are 17' wheel, a modification to EGR valve, eibach springs and the official Alfa "minigonne" (don't know the English word...).Those cars are amazing with no flaps in my view: they are both sporty and elegant and I let those stuff to the so called "tuners" (car destroyers in my eyes).Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernow Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I had a Alfa 156 many years ago. It was a great car; it had character and broke down in a loving way that only Alfa's seem to do! Currently im driving a 2004 VW Passat. It's a work horse and does what I need it to do: no glamour but just keeps on doing it's thing. Over 250k (KM's) on the clock and still going strong. Being the estate/station wagon it really does get used. I don't know why I just love it, it's relaxing to drive, talks to me with its squeaks and rattles and seems less thirsty than I am! I have a few cars here too, all layed up at the moment until I can find some funds to recommission them. Notably a Subaru Impreza, a VW beach (dune) buggy and a Vauxhal (Opel/GM/Chevrolet) Frontera 4x4. All great cars (IMHO!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinmf Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Thanks for the reply. I'm sorting things out with the shipping from Dubai to the Netherlands.. To test a car at an official workshop sounds like a good plan. Will PM you when I pull the trigger on buying from Dubai, thank you kindly in advance! Do you perhaps know any good websites where people sell their (sport)cars? Chk out a site called dubizzle.com quite huge on cars Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
