Hate to say it, but me three.
The first one /almost/ looks ok, but chrome wheels are the biggest no-no ever in the history of anything automotive - they aren't big and they aren't clever. Well, they are big obviously, but they aren't big big, oh f*ck it, you know what I mean.
As we're agreeing on stuff..... you're a man of taste, as you also appreciate the Alfa 75 ;-)
This bunch don't though, bloody heathens.
There's only one (older generation) Alfa I think is better looking than the 75. And that's the SZ :)
early cars had 15's later after 93 they was 16's
yeah well horses for courses! my MR2 turbo wasn't for everyone, some people couldn't get over the dash being a bit 'honda civic' but i didn't care because it handled well and went like stink! i'd like a luxury barge now really and i'd love to go yank but the LS400 is such a bargin and VERY reliable too (if you avoid the early cars with air bag suspension).
i don't think i'd like to go crazy low like the dudes have in the pics i posted but some nice 18's and bring the thing down so it doesn't look like a fancy tractor and that'll be as pimp as i'd go with it.
it's comfy, got a V8 and cup holders! my BM doesn't have cup holders! i'll leave it till next year i think, know a dude at work that imports a lot of stuff so might see what he comes across later next year.
It's just a 75 in prettier clothes anyway ;-)
Best quote I've seen about the SZ in recent years - came from AutoItalia:
'Alfa Romeo - the only people who could make a plastic car that rusts'
Harsh, but undoubtedly fair, as they were based on non-protected 75 floorpans.
My dash is pikey as f*ck. It doesn't detract from the experience :) I have cup holders, sort of, they are moulded into the glovebox door.
The carfefully sorted suspension stayed pretty much the same from 89 to
95, and with wheels from 15" to 18" on the same carefully sorted suspension.If you are really serious about keeping a Lexus LS/Toyota Celsior correct with it's carefully sorted suspension, you should never use anything other than proper lexus Dunlop tyres, because they are designed to pull the car against the camber, for the target market. UK/Aus/Jap pulls right against the camber. Europe/US pulls left against the camber. That way, the car needs less effort to drive.
Any other tyre puts the alignment out and allows the car to be thrown to one side. Now would you consider only using one type of tyre, ever?
Jap models got air from the start in the ucf11 series. World models didn't get air until I think 1993 with the UCF21.
uk.rec for the mature folks - uk.rec.cars.modifications for the CHAVS - get a life! Oh look 20" rims!!!!!
Drug dealers pimp mobile - drive one of those and you are guaranteed to be pulled over. Stick to your Corsa's and Clio's with neons
And you stick to the caps, multiple exclamation marks and feral apostrophes which litter your unoriginal drivel.
I wasn't talking to you, YTC.
Yet I haven't been pulled once in 6 months. Strange that. You seem to live in a warped altered state of reality.
remember, the wheels on those cars cost more than your Corsa, and those cars secondhand and standard cost more than some peoples homes.
Stick to what you're good at, that's what I say... ;-)
What about
For the money, those look a bit s*it. They look like they'd cost half of what they do.
Up close, they look so much nicer than anything else you can imagine. An S Class pales, and a 7 series looks like a rep's car. And that is just on the outside. They have world wide been voted the best car continuosly. Even the GS50H is stunning. Silent at low speeds and blisteringly quick. You have to hammer it to drop below the high twenties mpg average.
Not particularly impressive these days... I haven't seen a cop car in > 6 months :)
