A fantastic invite Mr Slug, that I WILL take you up on; rude not too if you are between the two brands!! I will indeed be joining the club. I have decided on the 2.5 Alfa 24v; only because in my mind it is closer to the original displacement of the 2.4 Dino. I also figure, that if (a big if) I felt the need for more power in the future, then I just swap in the 3.0 or 3.2ltr. Does that sound like a reasonable train of thought??
