You've got to start taking your Alfa to somebody who can make it run
properly..

;)

I drove an Alfetta sedan cross country a few years ago, through raging
snowstorms in Wyoming, torrential downpours in Ohio, it never missed a
beat.

I've made the cross country trip many times, frequently in Alfas I've
never seen before, bought through an ad on the internet, nothing but a
few pictures and e-mails.  The only problem so far is a water pump,
other than that I've never had any problems or delays.
