I hope you guys understand how I feel at the moment. I still like the car and don't really want to sell it, especially in its current condition, but the facts are that my circumstances are changing and I've got too many cars under my care. The Q4 was supposed to be my 'daily' car (not that I drive daily, but you know what I mean) however it's just given me quite a few headaches really. I didn't want to pull the engine out back in May, when the gearbox first broke, so now that it's broken again... No, just no!
according to my receipts I've spent around £5.8k on parts and upgrades since January 2015. It must be worth at least a couple of thousand in parts?
Also, don't forget the car has very little service history, so I can't prove what modifications were made to the car. This will affect its value quite a lot, I think.
At the end of the day, I've lost lots of time and money fixing this car this year, only for it to break again straight away. I could have had the Maserati running, and maybe even driving on the roads

I'll still own Alfas anyway. It looks like I might buy a 156 V6 this weekend, plus there's a 75 QV that needs some work, which has been passed down to me, which I am very fond of.
