KGB Posted 22August, 2020 Report Share Posted 22August, 2020 Why did you do this to a 105, gear ratios and interior are far superior in the Alfetta 2000, not to mention the bonnet bulge! Ass is less sexy though. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Not really. 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
