ES Hi,

I hope you do not imply that Phil's car is either a bit up car or a piece of
junk.
Only kidding, no flames pls.

Your comment reminds of my brother's problem.

Ever since he started driving, 19 years now, he was always bying second hand
cars.
Finally four months ago he decided to buy himself a brand new Alfa Romeo 166
2.0 V6TB

A very nice looking, decently fast (some say really fast) car which in
Greece is considered a very special buy due to the excessive taxation of car
above the 2.000 cc engine capacity  threshold.
All these years he never had an accident, not even a dent on his previous
cars.

Before closing a week of ownership of the Alfa a drunk grandpa fell on the
rear co-driver's side fender of his car while he was leaving from his
garage.

It is only bad luck. thanks God no one was harmed.

The Alfa had to have a new fender and a new fuel level sensor and pump (one
piece unit)

Take care and be careful all of us
Pantelis

P.S. Phil how is the Avant?
