Oily

Thanks but I've had a change of plan,just read up on the towing capacity of the car and it's not enough,having to look for something else :(

Cheers Jonathan,still looking........

I've got one of those bluetooth ones off fleabay,works ok with my Alfa and the laptop.I also used a cable reader one in my RX8 along with DashCommand software from PalmerPerformance.

what's the Alfa's turning circle like though? :P Well imagine a main road that could fit 4 lanes of traffic across it,i could just about make the U turn from kerb to kerb :D

You should try driving an Alfa 156,really embarassing in tight car parks/supermarkets

Thanks Steve,yes the auto has lower emissions than the manual but was in the same tax band until March 2006 where after this they nearly doubled the tax on the manual due to it's 'iffy' emissions(read cash cow) Trouble I'm having is finding a SE-L in the right colour, with black leather,sat nav and doesn't have the 'imitation wood' trim surrounds although I'm tempted if I end up buying one with them just to vinyl wrap them in some carbon I have.

Thanks Captain :)

Hello! Just joined to search for info/buyers guide on a IS250 auto.Trying to find one that ticks all the boxes is proving very hard! I've put a wanted ad up and hopefully I'll get some response :) Cheers Darren

Just joined the forum as usually cars on these type of forums have been looked after(ex member of a RX8 forum),on the look out for an IS250 auto,preferbly silver (but open to most colours)black leather would be ideal too,sat nav is a must.Location ideally in the North West but will travel for the right car,budget around £6500 Cheers Darren
