I've sent my 3 pictures of "IT" to the Top Gear Carbage page (good
suggestion Pete:-):
http://www.topgear.com/content/fun_stuff/carbage/0/

Next a stern letter to the AROC club magazine editor suggesting that we
expel the owner for exceptionally poor taste and bringing the marque into
disrepute.

It's not to my tatste either but aren't you being a bit "elitist" about
it?

156 2.0 Veloce - bog standard; no spoilers, no air damns and no big bore
exhaust (and have you noticed how "big bore" works on both levels?)

My big bore is factory fitted by Alfa as a standard part of my car :-?

Well, I'm certainly mostly joking.  *I* think it's hideous, but it's not my
car.  You should also bear in mind that I think the Giulietta is a great
looking car, and the pram handle looks good on my 156......

What's wrong with a bit of elitism? What's wrong with this country is that
it constantly panders to the lowest common denominator, hence we have to
endure The Sun, Big Brother, Eastenders, Celebrity you name it; the list
goes on. Chavs everywhere. It's time for decent people with good taste to
stand up and be counted.

Certainly not.

Nothing at all.  The problem with taste is that it's entirely personal

I take the piss out of my son too, sometimes. He's learning to spot it,
though he's only 4. Sounds like your dad has some fun at your expense, too
;-)

Don't forget to submit http://www.barryboys.co.uk  ;-)  Indeed, it's a
shame you didn't get one of their calling cards to put under his
windscreen wiper - after all, it's just possible that he still thinks
it's a little beauty!

What a site - examples of "vehicles"(?) that's bringing the species into
disrepute...

Yeah! My favourite was the *Ferrari* (really a crap Fiat Cinqecento) -
it's such a great site to browse through when you're feeling low. It's
also a site where the saying *each to his own* is brutally
demonstrated as, for that matter, is *in the eye of the beholder*.
