[alfa] Re: Mileage of Milano or 164

["Ed Solstad" <esolstad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I drove a GTV6 followed by Milanos all year from the mid 80s through
1998. With proper snow tires (Nokian Hakkapeliitta 1's or similar)on all
four wheels, they worked great in the snow, especially when fitted with
limited slip. The main problem is that the bodies rot out if driven in
the salt. Mileage on both models was in the mid twenties.
