The 156 is such an achingly good looking car, and makes german cars all the more depressing. I haven't driven an Alfa, but I don't get why the press gave them hell for making FWD cars, yet heap praise upon many other FWD cars, including the achingly bland expensive Skoda's known as audis...I daw this article on my work laptop..
Took me back a while..

You're absolutely spot on. A car can be utterly worthless and unremarkable, and seen by most people as a pile of junk, yet if you bond with it, you can get very attached, and it can be absolutely priceless to you.I clicked on your link out of idle curiosity - within the first few words I realized I just had to read it all. Somehow it just captures in words exactly how one comes to feel about certain cars - For instance my Hillman Imps, The '64 Cooper "S", Daf 33 van (what? I hear you say, but I truly loved it!) and several others of the long list of vehicles I've owned.
Although we are going through a protracted courtship, Becky is going to join that list I think once I've iron out the last of her little foibles!
