Of Selespeeds, Formaggio and Pesce

[C M Smith <cmsmith@domain.elided>]

Guppies are one of the few fish to bear live young. Some sharks and rays do 
likewise, though some sharks lay eggs in purses, dogfish being the one I 
recall.

Cheese in Italian would be Formaggio I believe. Eet eez ze French dat put 
ze "r" before the "o".

And the Alfa connection for this thread would be?

While I'm occupying bandwidth I might as well express my interest in the 
Selespeed thread. True enough who cares what gear one is in, the tach and 
the seat of the pants will eventually clue you in, but for road driving as 
opposed to track driving it is often not feasible to clearly recall which 
gear one is in after cruising for a while. Ditto with such mundane things 
as the recirc setting on the AC. Unlike a track where you would precumably 
be keenly conscious of the gear you are in, on the street one forgets. 
Especially the V6 Alfas which tool smoothly along with very little 
difference in engine noise from 1000 to 3000 rpm in say second or third gear.

A clear dash indicator (how about a row of little lights in the tach 
labelled 1,2,3..etc with perhaps an R and an N?) would be nice. I'm more 
concerned about how Selespeed handles snow and ice. I commonly use second 
gear for slippery starts, and have been known to feather the clutch for 
very slippery conditions. How does the Selespeed handle such things?
