All those leaves and mud. Wheelspin Avenue? Drift Street?
I had a Guilietta previous to my Octavia MK3.
It went back to the seller two weeks later for the following:
New clutch
New flywheel
Gearbox reconditioned
New pedals (dangerous in the wet once the rubber bits wear down).
New battery
New roof liner
I got the car back to find the gear selection issues persisted. I spoke to Alfa to find models upto 2011 had a design flaw with the synchromesh for first and second gear.
They then put in a brand new revised gearbox. The car then felt solid until three weeks later the driver's side seatbelt mechanism started to jam. I had it replaced by the seller under a good will gesture.
In all honesty it was a nice drive, although I spent nearly three months in courtesy cars .
But its still parked in the same place so will look horriffic again in a couple of weeks.
oh agreed. It’s already heading that way!
Shame that. Touch wood this car has been pretty faultless.
Other than the battery I changed last month it’s not really needed any repairs and as has been seen I certainly don’t look after it!
Yep, the speeds were below the speed limit to give us a bit of room to do a few overtaking shots.
Not jealous at allCollected the new car today

Considering the crap weather, delays and some roads closures resulting in some people getting in 2-3 hours late. I think they pulled this off nicely!
There'll be a 2nd version of the montage, but that'll be out at the weekend or beginning of next week.

Isn't this a bit self incriminating for whoever is driving in the video?
Yeah, doesn't seem the smartest move.
Seems entirely normal to me:
Hardcore drifting around a mini roundabout in public - CHECK
Baseball Cap - CHECK
Hipster attempted beard - CHECK
In broad daylight too on a busy roundabout
I do tend to cringe at this sort of stuff. I mean cmon, it's 2020
