Spent some time this weekend cleaning it (well, the car wash did the outside once I'd mould removed):
Seats were yuk, so I took the fronts out and cleaned them with some soap, warm water and a soft brush:
Found a little present in the cassette player 
Love songs
Don't really know what I'm going to do with it, the Alfa is very much still about and as much as I love this is a juicy bastard (averaging 25mpg at the moment but then I am kicking it about a bit). Has confirmed that I want/need a bigger car in the near future though. I imagine this will end up getting a ragga to the ring/other Europe destination with my best mate who is as strange car mad like me.
Don't want to spend that much money on it, spent about £17 on some new wipers and couple of bulbs so far. Going to order a throttle cable (BMW only surprise surprise) and a couple of MID bulbs as they are out.

BTW, it does go sideways if you press the happy button (aka ASC) , wary of fucking the clutch as I cannot find any evidence of it being done and when I chatted to the PO (who is my ex's Dad ) he swears blind nether him or his brother had a clutch put in it. It has 171800 miles on the clock

Currently no, as I'm looking to move house this year. Houses down south don't cost £1.50 and a pack of monster munch.

25 isn't bad for the car, I was reffering to the fact that I do many many miles and running a 25MPG car would make no sense to me. I could afford to run it however why would I when I can afford to buy a car that does better MPG and I can spend the money saved on fuel on saving for my house or a holiday or countless other shite I probably don't need

He bought it because he wants something to tinker with.. He'll try and justify the purchase in other ways but I saw how excited he was about cleaning the handbrake gaitor on the weekend and know that any other reason would be a blatant lie

I'm going to guess its a mixture of Impulse, OCD and Curiosity.. It could be worse he could have spend £350 on some LEGO.
