Turbo Alfas

["Enter your name here" <karld@domain.elided>]

I was in Rome last year somewhere near the Vatican. Suddenly my wife
wondered why I looked like a deer in the headlights. My jaw was on the
ground as I saw the svelte lines of a 164, coming towards me, while
simultaneously trying to figure out where the diesel lawnmower noise was
coming from.

<gulp> There's a "diesel" tag on the trunk of that 164. Mea culpa! I'm glad
that's the only one I saw. Volvo diesels are OK, Alfa? Might as well put a
Trabant engine under the hood. Off we went to theVatican to pray for the
soul of Nicolai Romeo (sp?).
