Watching our boys in the B&O cars on my Beovision. They are doing well today in Silverstone! An ex-teammate and friend of mine is one of the drivers.

This one is nice!

My wife has a very bad back, so we are getting a Citroen C6 from a specialist called Wolsey House Motors in Norfolk. They take 2 weeks to prepare the car, and you pay for it, but it’s common sense in the long run. They even deliver it with only a £500 deposit payed.

If you don’t like the car, they shake your hand and give you your deposit back. Good old fashioned retailing.🤒

Can’t wait

 Recently bought a Stelvio in this blue. A fantastic car to drive as it uses mainly aluminium for the body and carbon fibre for the driveshaft. Makes its competitors feel like driving a truck!

Unable to post a pic but here’s a link 

I haven’t sat in one yet. We had a look at the Mito a few years back and found it a disappointment. It seemed to have lost its Italian roots and resembled a Toyota! Ended up with a Fiat 500 which is a great retake on that classic car. Unfortunately everyone including the kids have outgrown it.

The Mito was a bad move by Alfa Romeo; a rebodied Grande Punto/Corsa. They won’t be doing that again since they moved upmarket to cover the cost of Alfas only be built in Italy. A bit like B&O sticking to Struer production for everything. Also a bit like B&O is the authenticity of the aluminium gearshift paddles. The Stelvio is more like an Italian equivalent to an X5.

Can’t wait Beovision Eclipse, Beolit 15, Beoplay A2, H6/H2, Form 2, Beoplay A3, Beovision 5-42 connected to a DVD1

Mmm, very nice indeed! Hydropneumatic suspension in it most sofisticated incarnation with a very stylish and very french body. Your next problem will be finding something that can match it’s ride when it’s time to find a replacement. Congratulations 🤒

I was thinking just that on the way home. What would or could replace it?

Got nearly 40 MPG which was better than I expected, and its ride is super comfortable. Love it.🤒
