Hello all,

although I haven't been active on this group for some time, I am now
leaving the Alfa Romeo brotherhood.

Tomorrow I will return my chiptuned 2001 156 SP1 1.9 JTD to the lease
company after having driven it with much fun for the last 180.000 km.

I will at the same time take delivery of my new car, which is not an
Alfa. I have had 2 156s up to now, and the recent makeover hasn't done
it much good, IMHO. The GT is too hard for my soft little butt, and the
147 too small, while the 166 is way too expensive. Alfa was a little
too late with the new 159, so I had to take my merchandise to the next
dealership.

But do not dispair, I will only have to travel some 150.000 km in my
new Swedish vehicle until I can return once more to the joys of
Alfa-drivership. For now, this means goodbye, however.

Happy driving, and hope to see all of you back in 3 years.

Paul
