    All the cars I have owned...

    But other than that i love the car to bits. With a 6 speed gearbox and cruise control its a pleasure on the open road. Just hook 6 th gear put on cruise control and forget about everything .... :). With about 375nm torque you just dont feel inclines. And fuel economy with aircon on or off hovers...

    True... But the problem is to get to the gearbox. On my car you have to disasemble the complete front suspension and drop the motor...

    Lol.. I would agree with you on the first 2 but since the 156 came out in 1999 the whole Alfa unrealibility thing was burried for good. The modern Alfas are no less reliable than any marque out there.

    Buying Sammy plasma question..

    Excellent TV's. I have the older model P51D550. I even convinced my cousin and brother in law to buy the same model after they saw mine. Highly recommended, and at that price it's a steal.

    Best battery brands - AA and AAA

    Energizer Platinum. They are Li-Ion instead of Ni-Mh. Unfortunately not rechargable, but they last longer that any other battery I have tried so far. I can not remember the last time I changed the ones in my camera.
