Oh mate... I love Alfa. Had a few and ended up with zero money in the car fund. When they're fine they're really fine - amazing cars, beautiful to drive - and then without warning they drop a 6 grand horror show on your finances and it all goes wrong from there. My last Alfa cost me everything I had to get it back on the road when it had a suspected cam belt failure. It was due for a cambelt service at the time, so had to be towed to a garage and have new belt, pulleys, the whole works and they fired it up... still fucked. Stripped down.. new air con unit, new oil variator which meant cam belt had to be re-done... I had to get it all done to get it back on the road to sell it. Every day brought another £1000 to the bill. It was hell. Never again. Check out the Alfa forums before you buy Chossy, they are full of Alfa drivers panicking about their cars breaking down!!!

I don't if anyone else has experience of this, but its not been very long since i've been through the education system in england, and i must add i went to a private grammar school and it was bad enough, god help kids at inner-city comprehensive schools. the system is so messed up that between the age of 14 and 18 kids have to spend most of their time studying for exams or working on coursework, these teenage years are for having fun and getting into harmless trouble, not sitting exams. granted a lot of them are easy because there isn't really much possibility of failing them as the grades range from G to A* and most the final mark is coursework which gets handed between teacher and pupil until every letter and number is in the right place on the work. This is down to the schools league tables, making our "education" establishments so concerned with how well their pupils do in exams and subsequently how high up they come in the league tables, they pretty much forget to teach anything.
Education in England is about passing exams, unfortunately.
If are considering moving here, and have/thinking about having kids, i suggest you stay where you until they have grown-up!I've just noticed that while writing this reply the thread's topic has changed to cars. Oh well.
