With the lovely weather lately I thought I'd take some nice shots of the R. :)

Stunning mate - I love a red 855R :)

I wish my front bumper was that tidy, lol!!  Is your car standard ride height?  It looks a little lower than mine, unless it's the angles of the pics?

Thanks mate. Yes it is on standard ride height, the shocks and springs look like they have been on the car since it left the factory and its done 110600 miles so far. I am getting Koni Sport and eibachs with IPD ARBs to improve the handling. :)

:D Well it was your influence! B) I was a strong Alfa enthusiast and the 850Rs have been growing on me slowly in the last couple of years. Due to change of hobbie (cycling) and dogs I needed a fast estate and the 850R fits the bill. Since I bought mine I haven't stopped smiling. :dance:
