Well it was lovely weather today, the mrs was out for the day with her friends so what better to do than spend the day on the driveway LOL :punk:

 

Most spare time I get usually goes on the Z in one form or another, but I devoted a good chunk of today to my daily driver. Alfa 156 2.0 Veloce, I love it and its uber reliable, but its just a case of get in and drive.

 

So today I treated it to a wash then some ultra deep shine autoglym polish all over. I then thought I'd fit the splitter I had kicking around in the garage - half hour later it was fitted perfectly and I think it looks a lot better, such a simple modification! Also treated the grille to some satin black paint, what do you reckon? :thumbup:

thanks guys :clap:

 

I wish that was my driveway! its the local airfield, alway go there to photgraph my cars :yes:

 

I use a Nikon D50 Daz, fantastic results every time. The alfa cost me £1100 a year ago and it was the first sensible car I have owned and driven daily. It is great to drive but I never put my foot down - just use it for pootling mainly but it is quite lively being an Italian! :clover:

 

The Z is only used now and then, but thats for my speed fix - will be used more in the summer and its getting better all the time - I did find time to change my radiator for the uprated one I had in the garage today aswell! :punk:

Nice mate, I`ve just had a look on flea bay as i need a new camera, those cameras take awesome photos but just too big for me, I used to have a Fuji (cant remember) 12mp big size and sold it on flea bay as it was clumbersome, but wished i had kept it now.

Skint at the moment so will have to wait :no:

You can get some decent non-SLR cameras nowadays, that do lots of things that SLRs do (i.e long exposure at night etc). My D50 is only about 6MP but the pics usually do the talking. :tt2:

So miss my alfa I had the V6 one loved it to bits. The engine was the best bit of it.

 

Great pics. Splitter looks factory.

 

I have a T-plate 156 2.0 as well, my feelings/experience towards it are very different from yours though !

Thats alfas for you one day the best car in the world, the next day you are pulling your hair out.

I had a 155 V6 with the same engine you posted, sold it to get the 156. Very good engine...surprisingly responsive.

I had a 156, used loads of oil for some reason but didnt smoke and drove like a dream. Typically the oil light didnt work so had to check the oil every-time.
