if you guys want to fall out with AO then who am I to say don't, but we will be here for as long as we are able to be so there's no harm in belonging to both. we don't own you, exclusively or otherwise, but as far as getting "the feeling" that we aimed for i can say on mine and shrews' behalf.....

THANKS GUYS 8-)
In absence of a 'like' button like wot FaceBook has, consider this post 'liked'!! :)

Well, we can pee standing up, read maps, we know our left and right........

Barbecues!! We can do them!
Open jars....... We can do all sorts of stuff. We're generally like Swiss Army knives....
We can probably hold ours better, and can even write our names in the snow! ;)
Thanks for the smiley! :P :lol:

Ok .. so ill give you the read a map and know left from right ..

However .. us women can use a washing machine correctly and not turn everything grey or brown .. use a tumble dryer with out shrinking clothes that would end up fitting a small child .. we can cook with out burning food .... we can iron clothes in a fraction of the time of that of a man .. ...

And some of us know more about cars than most men.. can service their car .. know how to remove a gear box on their drive ways ... and know where to get cheap car parts ... :D

So this is where you all went to! :o
With this, Alfa-pages and the site that seems not to be mentioned on here, I'll never get any work done.
Same history as before, I've had one Alfa, a S3 33 16 Cloverleaf, not unlike the one Kev got going in his thread, in fact the reg of mne was H975VGK!

Sadly I'm in a golf and the mrs won't entertain the thought of me getting something for myself but I will persevere and get one eventually, and it will have to be the S3 16V again. Loved that car.
