    What TV programmes/DVD are you watching tonight?

    I'm not a big TV fan but I do like programmes from the 1970s and 80s. As a big fan of Brian Clemens writing, I'll watch a couple of episodes of The Professionals. Partial to a bit of Bodie, Doyle and Cowley What a theme tune.

    Other than cars, what are your interests/passions?

    Music: As a baby of the 60s, my two siblings are 12 and 16 years older than me - they were both Mods. So my musical diet consisted of Motown, Stax, Ska and Britpop of the day: Spencer Davis Group, The Who, Small Faces, The Hollies... and that's resonated to this day - and my 15-year old daughter...

    Alfa Romeo thread

    For all things good, bad or indifferent about Alfas, please post here. Here's my take. I've owned nothing but Alfas for 12 years. There are many lukewarm reviews and horror stories connected with the brand. Touch wood I've not had any outside the norm. Why do I like Alfas? Many reasons but...

    Never mind Ferrari, Porsche, Lambos.... The greatest exhaust note I've ever heard is a TVR. Sounds like thunder.

    Has anyone asked: "Why Audi?"

    There's a two-fold reason for asking this. Firstly, it's good for relative novice like yours truly to get various opinions. Also, secondly, there's so many different marques on offer so to choose a certain brand of car... why an Audi? I'll be interested to have your personal views. Cheers, PP.

    Your ideal 3 car garage.

    The only proviso is, out of fairness, it can't be the car you currently own. As I love classic and slightly quirky cars, my ideal garage would be: MK1 Lotus Cortina FIAT 131 Mirafiori Sport Bond Bug

    How do you listen to your music?

    Through a phone, iPad or something more traditional? I have a traditional set-up. First purchased a 2-channel set-up in 1978, and still believe it gives a more natural playback than compressed digital files. My current system is as follows: Leema Pulse MKI integrated amplifier Electrocompaniet...

    (Hope this is in the correct section. Please move if not. Thanks) Hi all. Really need some advice on a proposed purchase later this year. My current car is a Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 JTS Sportwagon Veloce. I've owned Alfas for around a dozen years. Love the driving experience. However... I am toying...

    Another newbie

    Howdy all. Ooo... this looks fun. I'm a big petrol head and have owned two Audis from the dim and distant: A 1990 80 Sport 8 valve version, with the factory lowered profile, and a A4 1.8 T Sport. Not quite the bling factor of the 80 but a lovely car to drive nonetheless. Look forward in...
