Traded my old Mark 2 Golf in for a Seat and the cheeky salesman asked me if it had been clocked, yeah I was going to clock it to 158,000 miles!! Back to the Italian thing, I've had 2 Alfa Romeos each had 1 significant issue that Alfa, not the dealership, fell over themselves to resolve, an inconvenience for the time they were getting fixed but other than that they have been my favourite cars to drive, I would have got a third if they hadn't stopped making the Mito.
