you missed footwell illumination to compliment the ignition barrel. Phil.

i've got one video working but had that problem there too. Phil.

shut up. that is all. just, shut up. Phil.

nice to get a place like that that truly makes an effort to get it right! makes all the difference in your own head for peace of mind!!! lookin smart man! Phil.

lookin forward to the new season myself. not getting away anywhere this yr, but will be good to get it back on the telly. Phil.

cheers gents. got uber excited seeing it again tonight, dreaming up what i want to do to it (i.e. polish and wax lol). Jay told me too many horror stories from VW warranty to let me go near a VW, and Honda Accords are expensive buggers for the diesels, plus secret steve warned me about some issues they have. Starlets have their problems, but the support here with Jay and Steve and Alan and Joel and weejohn and all the UKSCNI lads means that nothing is really that big a problem. the alfas here in NI are the same. Phil.

mate, this will be our 4th alfa, and our second 1.9 JTDM. I knew going into this exactly what reliability issues there are, i.e. the EGR valves fuck up. however, this beast has a 5 yr warranty that covers shite like that! ya didnt think i'd buy something i couldnt keep on top of did ya?? lol. also, as said, i'll be joining the NIIMC, the support network here is as good as the starlets, excellent community for Alfas and Fiats here. We know enough folk in Alfas and with Alfas, so combined with the 5 yr warranty, it was the safest purchase i could make. Phil.

cheers lads, went tonight and signed the finance papers on the dotted line, all done and dusted, just need to wait for those minor touches to be done, then get her home and taxed and the insurance swapped over. @Socks - we dont know man. it was thought the sump and its been resealed 3 times now, but even Secret Steve is baffled. he resealed it last week, need to get it MOT washed then drive it and check to see if the leak is still there. Phil.

i havent fully decided lol, no doubt once i start tho one thing will lead to another lol. I'll keep this updated as always of course. Phil.

oh go on then, she's an Alfa Romeo 159 Lusso 1.9 JTDM...she's f**kin pimp! dead chuffed. had been lookin at A4s and Accords etc, i.e. boring soleless crap that i'd have parked and walked away from, but there's a GREAT Italian owners club over here which i'll get involved with. The props go to Mrs Badger because she's the one that found it! she's getting a small lick of paint and some minor door/car park dents pulled before i pick her up, hopefully next week. But this is good for the EP too, means i get to keep her away from the salt and winter roads and i get to fix her properly and take m

no Luke mate she aint being retired yet, i'll try to get her sorted first all being well, get this leak fixed. Cheers lads, looking forward to tinkering at her without the stress of needing it the next morning!!! cheers joel dude, u'll regret that in the coming months lol! Phil.

Now then, unfortunately reliability issues with Project BadgerSports have necessitated the need for a more economical, more functional, more comfortable, and more reliable daily cruiser. This evening I put a deposit on my new daily. I'll keep it under wraps until she is on my driveway, but I will say these few things: The colour and nationality of a true pedigree Leather Cruise control 6 Speed gear box Turbo Diesel There are no plans for this as it is a daily that will one day need to be sold on, so no kits, no wheels, no tuning, but BadgerSports Inc being BadgerSports Inc, naturally sh

Update As some of the UKSCNI folk know, i've been having ongoing issues with an oil leak ever since the new engine went in. So, project end? No. Project halt? No! Project change of direction? Yes. She has now outlived her reliability as a functional daily driver, so its time for a change. This project will now change direction somewhat, and all will be discussed when i have determined the final direction in my head, but for now, she has about another week on the road, then its time for a rest for some time, so if u see me on the road in the next week, wave, because its the last time for a w

legend...but who's gonna wash my car now! aye! never thought of how this would impact ME did u! ppffffffttttttttt!!! lol, really chuffed for u buddy, i know how much u wanted it!!!!!!!!!!! Phil.

he is either mentally retarded, or an utter genius. either way, his account got "Phil'd". Phil.

very cool man! Phil.

holy fuck. im on it. Phil.

hey dude, would u happen to have the headlight adjustment mechanisms at all? i believe they are some sort of bracket with a long bolt through them, possible with a ball on one end?? in good working order? Phil.

mollys breed like fuck. fact. also, coral...in a tropical tank??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Phil.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmega! Phil.

i reckon the K1's quicker........................................................... lol Phil.

indeed, u would need to insure the gravel is appropriate for them mate, its their barbs that are sensitive, wrong gravel can cut them. check with the LFS (local fish shop) first dude, even take a sample of the gravel in with u to check. Phil.

^^^^agreed, hence why i have the pygmies in mine! they rock! Phil.

BHP claims are to be accompanied by the graph in question or events guys will have to instruct the numpty in question to remove the sheets. Phil.

wow! thats immense dude!!! would defo consider a 5 after seeing that! Phil.
