Re: Who wants a new Alfa?

[George Graves <gmgraves@domain.elided>]

It may well be against the law in California too. But I know a number 
of people with Milanos (V-6 75s) and early 164s who's antilock brake 
mechanisms have become faulty and do not seem to respond to being 
fixed. These people have had no alternative but to remove the anti-lock 
bits. Since we don't have anything in California even remotely akin to 
the British MOT exam, people's cars are NEVER tested by the state (or 
the Feds, for that matter) for any road-worthiness issues. When I used 
to live in Virginia many years ago, they had state road worthiness 
inspections EVERY SIX MONTHS, but I don't know if they still do it. But 
I suspect many states do.
