This is not intended to wind-up those of you out there with sick motors :lol: I've had my fair share of GTA disasters ( blown head gaskets,bearings clutch ect ) but feel I must say how well the car went on the Monza trip :D
Time to talk the cars up a bit 8)
2000 trouble free miles, some enthusiastic driving at Monza and cooking in the Milan traffic for 2 hours fully loaded with big blokes + bottoming the thing trying to escape the tram-lines :oops: NOT A BLIP :shock:
8 hour stint from Calais to the Alps and felt I could continue on to Italy with no problems at all ,these cars are proper GT's.

My brothers a confirmed Porker :lol: Boy with a 928 S4 Autobahnstormer,but he was very impressed with the GTA as a tourer + it's got the 928 beaten as far as sports handling ,so may even be tempted to join the fray :lol:

If the GTA'S on song it can't be beaten for looks and performance ,how many do you see around :?:

Will go outside and give it a kiss now ,then check to see where all that oil on the drive is coming from :shock: Probably the Audi .

Lee...you are a fool!!! The GTA will see your post and probably self destruct in a horrible fashion! Been out in mine this morning, scared a couple of horses and picked up the Telegraph in record time....what a joy :D Love it to bits......but I wont be saying anything about reliability in case it gets all complacent :lol:

They certainly are great mile eaters. My Red A310 has been to and from Munich 4 times and It amazes me how easy it is. And before any of you mention it, I know that a GTA or A610 does an even better job on the autobahns (but not quite as good along italian country lanes!).
:D
Alpine A110, Renault Safrane 2.5dt, Hudson Kindred Spirit (Renault powered), transAlp (Honda) and Ducati Multistrada
