I have decided to call it Urchin in memory of Richard Brown, not sure it suits the car but it feels right.

Really like the Ti spec since I sat in one at Mitcar many years ago. Not so much a fan on the tan leather - but wouldn't the world be a boring place if we all liked the same things?

Providing our replacement for the Croma doesn't try to bankrupt us, perhaps a Ti or Q4 might be coming my way this year.
 
i really wanted red leather, but i'm happy with just red stitching lol.. Its the only thing the car didn't have on my want list though. It had to have them wheels and the TI styling, and it had to have 1.9 jtdm engine and the roof rails, as i think they just look so much better with them on and not easy to retro-fit so i've heard..

I am properly surprised by the poke of the jtdm 150 engine - its in a totally different league to my old stilo jtd in terms of grunt. Although i admit i have been looking at remaps etc. Cloverleaf spec is just software upgrade, uses same turbo etc etc.
 
I don't really need an estate, I just like them - think they look better than saloons, perhaps I'm just wrong in the head..? I got the Stilo MW just cause I prefer look of it to 3 or 5 door as well. Having a massive boot is handy at times though - now I don't have a van any more.

not sure i would say the best, its the fanciest, plushest, most grown up car I've owned for sure.

yeah same engine. I'm not really planning a remap in the immediate future really, i just can't help looking. Even if i did i wouldn't go for a balls out map, just the cloverleaf map so it would essentially still be a oem spec car except i don't think they did the cloverleaf spec engine in the 159 SW ever, don't quote me on that mind, i'm not an alfa expert at all.. But the 1.9 jtdm GT coupe cloverleaf has 170bhp and 330Nm so its not a huge amount more but also has a LSD which mine does (AFAIK).
