On the bucket list is to own an Alfa one day.
Seems the Carabinieri got one of these before anyone else. 500bhp twin turbo V6 designed by Ferrari.

Re: Alfa Giulia Quadrofoglio
Another Alfa fan here, friends of ours had a fully loaded Mito Cloverleaf - she found driving it a nightmare due to back pain and they had to flog it after 6 months, the depreciation was horrific - the only people that would give them a realistic trade in were the Alfa garage they'd bought it from. Much as I'd like one, I'm not sure I could stomach that.

I'd take it for a spin....
IMO, if you like cars then owning an Alfa is a must. I had a GTV for about 5 years, it covered the most enjoyable motoring i'd ever had to some of the most expensive. It was only the humble 2 litre engine, but once you worked out how to keep it wound up and stuff it into corners it was a joy to drive. The major downside was keeping it in petrol and oil !!!
The best Alfa memory I have was taking part in a world record attempt for the longest convoy of alfa's, there was several thousand that turned up all running nose to tail round the prescribed route... Now that was a sight, and as far as i know, not one of them broke down !!

Wifey had a little 145 cloverleaf. Fantastic engine in it.
We had a 156 after that and it lasted about 6 months before we handed it back.
