You should watch more Clarkson videos on why people buy...or don't buy Alfas.

 

For starters, there's the 147GTA and 166 video if haven't already seen them.

Point 6 is good though.

Oh, and Leng Kee is saying the 1750 TBi Giulietta will be opened for special order starting in Jun 2012.

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
