You've got to laugh....

well alfa nicked there engines

Technically incorrect.

Alfa buy the 2.2 and V6 blocks, but bolt Alfa heads to them - complete with customised fuelling and inlet / outlet tracts.

Vauxhall, on the other hand, buy whole JTD engines in from Fiat 'cos they have a history of punting out s**te oil burners.

HTH.

Correction - I forgot to add that Alfa also buy the 1.9 block, too.

Didn't they buy them from Isuzu before?

I'm sure they should have spelled that "Kaliber"

See above ;-)

Actually, I believe the 1.5 TD fitted to the Nova and Corsa was OK, just a shame the cars were s**te.

The others were a bit wanky, to be honest.

But, yes, I think the were mainly Isuzus.

There is a resemblance - and to piss in both cases.

When I was 17, I knew a guy with a 1.5TD Nova, that had crazy money spent on it, big boost and a swanky turbo and stuff, and he wasted a one of those Saab 9000s with the dark wheels and blue paint ( special edition 2.3Ts that had like 230bhp or something ) up down a motorway slip road. It was pretty awesome :) Except it got to 130 and hit it's fuel cutoff/limiter/whatever it was all too quickly and the Saab came sailing by about a minute later (he had got waaaaaaaaaay far behind).

Try Tesco, they have a good selection of low and alcohol free beers and ciders these days.

That's where I get the Becks from. Unfortunately there's not a large Tesco close to here - would you believe it? Loads of Sainsburys. Even a Waitrose.

Try Asda, lovely selection of beer that tastes of beer.

Just try beer, with alcohol, and take the night off from driving.

Gets my vote. I hate driving to pubs, so I don't do it. I soon get tired of soft drinks, and no/low alchohol beer is pretty foul.

There's a very good low alcohol beer, a real beer which has low(ish) alcohol. Hobson's I think it is, about 3% alcohol. Since it won outright as the best beer in Britain at one of the CAMRA awards, I don't think it could be described as "foul".

Try Booths - fantastic range of beer, including some which don't necessarily taste of beer :-)

cheers, clive

Any idea where one might obtain it? I'll give it a try, at least.

Most of the pubs in/around Great Malvern seem to offer it. They don't do a bottled version, sadly, cask only.

I don't drink alcohol at all these days. But still fancy the taste of a beer sometimes.

Well, that's not a million miles away. I'll try one if I'm that way.
