300c is too fat.
Alfa would be too expensive to fix and hard to mod.
350z would make you wish you got a 370z.

[Graham]

yeah the 300c is a whale, but it still does the quarter mile in 13 seconds
yeah, alfa just has the looks really... love the front end on 'em

yup, this is true, and no way can i afford a 370z

[Graham]

just put some rim stickers on my bike rims, $5 USD and a month of waiting for them in the mail later aaaaaand....








took me about 3-5 minutes each side of the wheel, not the best job but it looks okay... from a distance

[Dire]

Are they reflective? Looks pretty good.

[Graham]

yeah, reflective, i turned the flash on for the last pic and even in daylight it shines heaps, should be good at night with light on them.. but then taking pics at night will look weird

[Dire]

Get under-panel neons?

[Graham]

haha narrr, atleast not for this bike

[Dire]

You're gonna want a faster bike soon, why are you thinking about cars? Haha.

Bike looks good Graham, red and black are striking colours, on a car too.

Watch your six and be very careful on it.
They had some frightening bike stats on news a couple of nites ago split in diff age ranges, all were equally bad, age and experience didnt seem to make a diff to the accident rate on bikes like it does in cars. A lot of people no longer with us.

I found out for people that were at the epic York cruise (and those that weren't), when the first fuel warning light comes on there is 8 litres left, and when the second one comes on (the yellow-light-of-death ), there is 5 litres left.

[lancervr]

whered u find that out?

[Graham]

I want a faster bike already, as soon as I get my license I'm gonna start looking at some others, something like a suzuki gsxr600, honda cbr600rr or yamaha r6

maybe a 750 pending price too..

yeah bikes are very dangerous, most of the time accidents may not even be your fault its the other persons.. gotta always be alert

[Itachi]

The red looks good, it must go a lot faster now

I think the reason experience/age doesn't seem to make as much different on a bike is because a minor car accident that would result in a dent here and there = a major accident on a bike, and as Graham said, a lot of the time it is the other driver's fault.

If you want something unique, you can't go past an Italian car. There is only one car that I would take for styling over an alfa or fiat (no prizes for guessing which one ). Check out the 147 replacement, the giulietta. It is a very, very sexy car.

[Graham]

Italians know how to make cars and bikes my bikes italian lol

I'd love a hotted up euro car, you don't see many of them around!
my mate has a bmw m3, not sure which model but it goes so hard..
3.0L n/a straight 6 and it beats turbo'd cars and v8s! i think it runs 14 down the quarter mile, but he's just done a complete rebuild on the engine and put a few better parts in, plus he's doing it up cosmetically too, purple angel eyes, purple trim etc.. it should be good when it's back on the road cruising again

i googled the giulietta, looks different, not really my taste though

it looks good though, the shape kinda reminds me of the veyron from the front.. obviously it looks different but similar in a way

[Itachi]

One thing with Italian's is they know how to make a nice rear end The giulietta looks brilliant from the back.



This is a link to some shots with Uma Thurman who helped launch the car.

I think the model you posted is the sports model, the one that really floats my boat is the Quadrifoglio version. Ofcourse it comes with a bigger hole in the pocket...

I must admit, Euro cars just seem....nicer...than Jap ones. They are usually more comfortable and have a better finish to them. I love the look of my lancer, but there is something about a nice sleek looking alfa, especially the brera, that gets the heart racing. Maybe I'm just biased, being Italian and all...
