Went up to the local Alfa/Fiat specialist garage (ex-franchised Alfa) and had a good poke around a 147. I was totally amazed how professional the staff were though; I was with 2 of my mates and was expecting to be treated like a kid, but they were really serious (especially once I mentioned my price range), top blokes.
Said I could have taken a test drive there and then if it was a bit earlier in the day. Might have to drop in next week
Can't wait till October woooo!
