[alfa] Automotive reliability

[alfacybersite <acs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Believe I might have brought this subject up before. When talking with
cousin today it came up how our folks and various relatives might drive
to someone's house in a raging snowstorm and have a party. Kids would
come along and have their own. Then everyone would drive home.

When was the last time you drove your Alfa in a raging snowstorm?

I'm trying to get a copy of a photo of my grandparents, my mother and
her five sisters and three brothers in two touring cars. The photo was
taken in the Black Hills of South Dakota around the late teens or early
twenties.

When was the last time you took your nine... Okay, when was the last
time you took your family touring in a place similar to the Black Hills
in your Alfa?

Just to throw in an additional impediment, my Grandfather Peterson  was
crippled with polio since the age of seven. He drove one of the cars.

I love Alfas but am afraid to admit I wouldn't trust them enough to
attempt either of the above 'adventures' without having to worry
(unfortunately with good reason) the entire time. Yeah, the relative's
cars were newer (relative to the time) but the technology which has
become so much more advanced (tongue so firmly in cheek it hurts) makes
those old buggies seem like something from the dark ages (tongue's still
firmly there).
