AutoWeek/Alfa Return & 164 Throttle Cable

[James_Tsakirgis@domain.elided]

Read the AutoWeek article (Mar, 27) about Alfas return to the States in
2003.
Anybody know about this statement in the article " Alfa only sold 594 cars
it's
last year in 1995, with another 400 cars released to dealers in 1997." Does
this
mean there were 400 LS & Q's sitting around a lot for two years and then
sold
in 1997 at dealers?

Aaaaaaaaaa...Oooooooooo... Anybody else have to do an early (pre-92)
throttle cable in a 164. It's the type with the two hidden bolts. My hands
are
still bleeding as I type this. Now, I have to wipe my blood off the key
board.
Not as bad as a Sud e-brake cable, but a real close second. Now I know why
Alfa redesigned this cable without the bolts in 1992. Oh the pain !!
