Hey, this is an Alfa, just down change at the remotest possibility of an
opportunity and enjoy the noise until you get the chance to use the
indicator :-)

Did a lot of this on the weekend. In 100Km/h zones, third is fun for
overtaking. Could do it in second, but a) with 2nd maxing out at 105Km/h
you've got to shift as soon as you pull out, and b) it's a bit tricky to
double it at 100Km/h when your target RPM is about 6000 out of 6300
electronically limited (did it once 5-2 on a very warm box just to prove
to myself that it could be done).
