Well, after a long search and many second thoughts, I bought myself another car to replace the Pick-Up.
Alfa Romeo GT JTD, 2004, 150 HP blue metallic with black leather interior.
I have owned the Fiorino Pick-Up for exactly 10 years, done about 250000km's and it NEVER let me down.
It is the most reliable car I've ever owned, and it almost became a member of our family.......
I will drive it for some more weeks, while I will service the Alfa, but than I will put the Pick-Up up for sale.

Will you then be known as "Peter Alfa Romeo GT JTD"?

No, I'll stick to my original name, anyway, not much going om here lately....???!!!

OK, the Pick-Up is sold.
A young guy, living in the same street as we do, has bought it.
He already paid for it, and will collect the car next Saturday.
I hope and expect that he will take good care of the little car...!
Two more days, and than it's Alfa time...!!

The Pick-Up is gone....

Has the sexy new toy arrived ?

I almost got an Alfa before staying with the Fiat fold.

Yes, the Alfa GT is my daily driver now.
Yesterday evening it toke me several hours to change the engine oil+ filter and the completely hidden aircleaner...!!
With the Pick-Up this was done in less then half an hour...!!
Progression....!!!

But do you have a grin when you drive it ?

Sure

150 hp and six gears...

The Pick-Up is still doing fine!
Right now, my young neighbor is on a vacation trip to Kroatia.....!!
He has fitted 4 new tires ( Marangoni's) on the car, and went of....!!
Remember, when I sold the car, it has done almost 300.000 km's.....!!
