It's just a shame that the rest of it doesn't look like this.
I'd managed to blot that thing from my mind!

What can I say... one doesn't acquire a sense of taste, one is born with it.

Taste can be either good or bad remember.

Hmmmm, If I sell the house I could get a C8 Spyder and a caravan to live in...

That looks like the lovechild from Doctor Who and Futurama!
That's pretty cool. I remember seeing that on the cover of Autocar as the car that would save Alfa or something...
The C8. Hmmm, I dunno. It's nice and all but it's an Alfa.
All this crap about you can't love cars unless you've owned an Alfa, its just that, crap. When Alfa make something I want to buy, then, I'd still rather have a VW...

Nothing. Ghosts of yesteryear. There's a saying that an Alfa already starts rusting on the brochure but that's history. Besides, this is more of a Maserati than an Alfa
The Spider, ohhhh, the Spider

The rust might be history but they're still not the most reliable of cars (what European car is, though) and despite all the positives, they do not age well; and that goes for material and build quality, eye-watering depreciation and long term mechanics.
The C8 is obviously a step beyond the regular road cars, but it's still a brave, heart-led person (maybe a long-term collector) who'd buy one over a host of other things at a similar price.
Personally, and I can only speak for myself on this one... but I'd sacrifice a little reliability for a little soul.
I totally agree!
Also how old is that Alfa in the photo?
70s?

Just aswell, that thing is fuglyy
I personally love the R8
Aw, poo!
Looks like I'll have to get a PS3 now...

^ That is a good looking Nissan imo.
So far the two cars I have liked the best on Top Gear were the Maserati Quattroporte and the Bugatti Veyron. My favorite episode is probably the one with the Veyron, man the speeds are horrendous!
I just watch the show for the comments that Jeremy Clarkson always makes, he is my favorite out of the bunch. My favorite thing that he says is something about a Ferarri with the suspension stiffner, to adjust it for sport mode and all that. He said "This is about as useless as a snooze button on a smoke detector". Priceless!!!!
