    The wife is a Pisces and owns a 156 Twin Spark with 110,000 miles on the clock. Cost us £2,500 five years ago and has broken down once in that time which cost £135 to fix. It's also driven through floods in Northumbria that caused an X5 and a Focus to call it a day and took 4 adults to Nice and back most of the way at 150 km/h. It's worth naff all so it's going into retirement while I do some work on it and it'll be back for weekend work next year. I know Top Gear is humour but, the advantage for me is a cheap car with far more character than countless others. Thanks Jezza

    My mother had a 147 1,6 for 11 years, the only issues that appeared were that the AC malfunctioned at 10 years and was fixed for 50€, a loose handbrake that was fixed for free and a rusty exhaust pipe that was replaced. It looked brand new inside and out with practically no issues.
    The only real problem was that it burned through lamps like crazy because it wasn't designed to have them on all the time.

    Alfa 145 2.0 made in 2000, 251 000 Km, I used to drive it real fast (I got fined for 183 Km/h), never ever broke down, had to change only parts you normally change. Feels like a gocart compared with new cars with the same price tag. 2 airbags, the second cost extra :) (normal at the time I bought it) but I got it as a gift along with a lot of equipment.

    they are star signs m8 i.e, Aquarius, Leo, Virgo, Pisces, Capricorn etc. Depending on what month you were born, Each sign is linked with a certain time of the year, I was born on the 24th of december which makes me a capricorn, I think you are a capricorn if your birthday is after 22nd of december till sometime in mid january, then its Aquarius till sometime time in February and so on (soz i hardly know any of them lol) i cant find anything with the dates on or else il tell you them
