Rata Del Spruit Posted June 5, 2014 Share As a landrover owner let me tell you that none of those jokes apply anymore. HOWEVER one new landrover joke is true. It goes like this..... "depreciation" Move along. I sold a Defender TD5 for R140k a few years back. I saw it on Autotrader the other day going for R160. Don't know why I sold it, that thing was beautiful.

ValeYellow Posted June 13, 2014 Share They say you should never wear your cycling cleats while driving an Alfa, its not the driving that the problem, it's the stepping in the oil pool that appears below one when immediately after it stops, that is.eish, being a very proud Alfa Romeo owner, I can certainly say that it is like dating a super model - very lekker for your mates to check out, but moerse expensive to keep happy - my baby is an oldie, the 156 GTA, and apart from donating a kidney, left arm and spleen when the cambelt service is due, she runs like a demon....

MaXiMuM Posted June 13, 2014 Share As Jeremy Clarkson said "you cant call yourself a true petrol head unless you have owned an Alfa" And I saw a diesel one the other day, I mean, who buys a diesel Afla. That's like kissing your sister, or running knobblies on a road bike... just not right. ValeYellow, BigDL and Tromp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSG Posted June 13, 2014 Share sheezas boet that is so funny - yet true. That Giulietta was a head turner when it first came out.Back then, when I asked my parents if me and my wife could get engaged, he replied with the following words, "My seun koop eerder 'n tweedehandse Alfa, jy gaan ewe veel stront he" ValeYellow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoJK Posted June 14, 2014 Share I was the proud owner of a 1965 guilia sprint gt, went like the clappers, but broke down more often than not, but man, when it went, it was brilliant!! and it had a oil leak, like any good alfa should!!
