Since the new rulings, think i would be still driving my Brera for 1-2 years b4 i finally change to a cayanne...^_^

 

Now that means i would have some budget to "zhng" my love :wub:

 

 

Initially i was thinking of having a new good paint-coat of black color...cuz nothing goes better than black to match my red leather seats... [:p]

but my friend all said i'm crazy and waste money... [bigcry]

 

Now what else can i do?

Or should i just go for a detailed grooming once a month? [bounce2]

 

 

 

 

And yes, i still enjoy driving my Alfa every single day.

Still turn back to look at him everytime after i park.

Still love him very very much on every single NSHW run....heehee

Not really anymore.

 

Think I have reach the stage any 2L car is fine. I rarely rev hard when moving off anymore

 

May let go soon if the dealers don't chop me now that the new car loan regulations are in place

 

 

Do you guys still enjoy driving your alfa daily??

Coz Frenzzsg is a lady?

 

Oh. My bad

 

 

Wah. I v hot now

Just encountered 4 dickheads in a white box on the road just now.

Red light v long, so they want to drop their fried off in the middle of the road

Open the bleddy door so fast and wide and 'POM' knock into my car

 

Driver pretend not to notice and everyone else on the car laughing

Then green light, tried to escape by SWERVING into my lane.

 

From the looks of it prolly some young punks doing their dad's car

Really tmd

V honest assessment

Maybe for me is not entirely the serpent effect but also the 2.2 engine?

Since I came from a 1.4 background...

 

But I must say driving such a beauty is a real treat

I mean, of all the 'layman cars' on the road, perhaps the only other make that makes me swoon is merce

Audi, VW, Beemer don't really have the x factor leh

Sparkplug:

info abt copper, iridium and platinum sparkplugs:

http://www.carsdirect.com/car-repair/coppe...top-performance

 

http://www.ngkpartfinder.co.uk/car_commerc...extra.php?id=60

our stock one is FR5CP which is recommneded. and BKR5EIX is upgrade.

 

http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/4x-NGK-Platinum...=item25738360de

 

http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/4x-NGK-IRIDIUM-...=item53ee09513b

 

According to the seller price of this seller, BKR5EIX is cheaper than FR5CP... so i might go for iridium since it is best for both worlds and cheaper? so what do u guys think?

 

compared to Denso iridium tough, any comments?

http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/4-x-Denso-Iridi...=item43af4dcb35

 

 

For brake pads, is this much better than the stock one? can be used for 159 yr 2007 right? (bcos have quite a few kinds and sizes so wanna cfm)

http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/290728477406?ss...984.m1438.l2649

 

 

looking at the schedule servicing table, it doesnt call for change of clutch fluid, gearbox oil, transaxle and transfer box oil (what are these?? [dizzy] ), so when do u guess chg them? or need to chg?

Autodelta also uses NGK Iridium IX, which has the latest ignition technology to improve combustion efficiency. Here is the schedule manual http://www.fiat-lancia.org.rs/Manuals/Alfa...9/Selespeed.pdf

Im with you man......our ARs really stand out from all the boring Germanboxes (although there are a few half decent Beemers starting to knock around - thinking 6 series)

 

And that nots looking through rose tinted glasses - the numer of stares I get when driving says it all :)
