Re: [alfa] 2nd gear synchro 156

Ah, I see.
Actually, although Fiat sounds a bit like a slurr on the character of what I
think is a good car, I appreciate the difference from a "real" alfa.
That said, I like the car as an example of modern day engineering.  And it
has a nice slick gearshift!

When I want "traditional", I drive my A-H Sprite.  It is quicker!
