To own and drive ?
Found it in Luleå. As new, only run 2000 mil. But the camshafts were worn out. They had problems
with the hardening that year. So the firm I bought it from changed them. Put in camshafts from the 
 QV model.  Maybe it gave me a little more power. This was a really comfortable car. But I had to
watch my speed, because you never really felt how high the speed was..... My first front wheel drive
car. I felt a little nervous about it. With rear wheel drive, you know, that it sometimes spin. Easy to
handle. But with front wheel drive? What should I do ?, Drove carefully , the first Winter, to learn.
Heating system?? Wasn't so good. they had mounted a electric heater in it when I bought it. It was
wrong connected , the water went another way, instead , going through the heater. After I moved
the hoses, it became as a new car. It had also an automatic temperature control  system. But only
one sensor mounted. Therefore, the temperature might go a little up and down. When you reached the
temperature you set, it closed, and it took a little time, before it felt that the temperature had dropped
so you felt a little cold, before the heat turned on again. So you often set  the temp , a little bit higher.
At 700 mil i'll got the same problem, as I got with the Alfa 75 V6 3.0. Had to change the bearings.
Sold the car after 2 years. Bought a' Swedish Quality product instead, I thought. But I'll never spent
so much money, on one of my Alfa's, as I did on this Swedish car. And I would like to buy an Alfa 
again............Why not an 164 TS..........Or an 156......what a fine design.......
