Hey Biba

You guys in the States seem to miss out on a whole lot of stuff!  The 
Alfetta Gt I thought was the 1.8 engine (1750 or 1779 cc) version whereas 
the Alfetta GTV was the 2 litre one. I've got used to the differences 
between the GT Veloces sold in the States versus elsewhere, things like fog 
lights instead of high power driving lights. Was reading Tipler's book on 
the GTA last night and he commented unfavourably on the equipment fitted to 
the US GTVs, especially Spica, however a lot of people on this digest seem 
to prefer the Spica system, so there you go.

On religion .. have to tell you this: last week an archbishop in Australia, 
when chided for refusing to give communion to gays commented: God made Adam 
and Eve, not Adam and Steve"  !

Wellington, NZ on a glorious day ...
