Beauty in metal. Save for her sad eyes my Alfa still stirs the soul. I am an ex car dealer, i know the potential pitfalls of owning a Milanese Missile. But the answer to avoiding issues is simple... WEEKLY - check your oil, water and tyres. service it TWICE a year or every 6000 miles and pay the little extra for good oil and parts. I bought mine 18 months old from Alfa as an ex alfa compay car - low miles and she already had an inch of invoices stacked up. All little things and all adding up to less than any BMW or Merc I have had for that long.
Just by knowing what that funny sound is and attending to a small foible you avoid catastrophe. If you ignore it as you would in a Ford, it will break like the Ford but man will it cost you!!!
For this you get emotion in motion. Pure Joy.
