The courtesy car... with added nothing

In true Italian car tradition, the Alfa is in the workshop having something fixed. Rather than have no car, they offered me this courtesy car that I could keep for as long as it took me to get back in my own repaired one.

I didn't expect much, which is good because it doesn't have much...

The stereo is actually mono, as it has one speaker.
The metal on metal brakes screech even when you are not braking.
The power steering is turned on via a button on the dash, which I think must lighten the steering by magically turning the column into sponge.
The non-air conditioning fan only works on full speed or off, and only on hot.
The accelerator might as well be a on-off switch given no one told it what acceleration actually is.


However, there is good news...

It somehow fits a full size bike box in the boot.
You don't really need to worry about scratches and dings, as it already has its fair share.
It can do 70mph on the motorway (feeling like it's going much faster!).
It appears to run on hardly any fuel.
It fits in parking spaces that normal cars don't.
and it hasn't broken down, which is better than can be said for the Alfa.
