worth of a 164

[JMNegrin@domain.elided]

Hi all -

Soem time ago I had the pleasure (to be sure) of driving a 164.  I forget the 
vintage, I believe it was an early one, but it was a standard, no frills, 
other than normal for such a car.  It also had just so-so tires with 
questionable inflation.  I bring this up because it was so easy to drive as 
quickly as I felt comfortable.  The amount of information tranferred back to 
the driver was amazing and gratifying.  After the drive, I mentioned that I 
felt the tires needed some attention, as the pressures in the front felt to 
be different.  Yes, I could really feel what was going on a ground level to 
THAT extent.  

The one draw back for me is that the 164 is such a large car.  For those who 
need the room, great.  I will have to wait for something a bit smaller for an 
Alfa sedan.  Are you listening, back in Milan??  I know there may not be 
enough others like me to make it profitable here in the US of A, but one has 
to have a goal, a dream.  Mine is for the Cross and Serpent to made available 
to us on "this side" of the pond.

Enough.
