Howdy, Alfisti!
This weekend I received a package from Danny Van Zijl, THC AROC's
European Correspondent in Holland.
In the packet was a very interesting comparison test done in "Top
Gear" magazine's March, 1999 issue between the following (their
order!):
Rove* 75/S*ab 9-5/Alfa Romeo 166/BM* 520i/Volv* S70
I quote from the last paragraph:
"Overall, the Alfa feels just as grown-up and civilised (Brit "zed"
free spelling!) as the BM* but is more fun to drive. And there's the
styling. The 166's looks may be flawed ('...it has a rather long nose
and quite a small face, which throws the overall shape out of
balance.') , but it's still very desirable. If we could keep just one
car out of the five it would be the Alfa Romeo 166 - by a unanimous
decision."
If only AR would return to N. `merica! We can only dream of new
Spiders, GTVs, 156s and 166s.
Also, Danny is seeking any memorabilia related to the 1987-90 Indy Car
effort (i.e. articles, photos, brochures, Indy Car programs, stickers,
etc.). He can trade Alfa Romeo brochures. Danny says, "You name it, I
will get it!"
If you have anything you'd be willing to trade contact me for Danny's
snail mail address as he's `net impaired.
