Thanks Christine!

My mistake: the links I posted were from my stream, not from the AID
2012 set, that's why the odd behavior of the arrow above the first
photo. That one is part of a set I posted last week or so.

Interesting set of photos.
It reminded me that back in 1994, I was considering buying an
Alfa Romeo Milano (late 1980s model). It was a cool looking car.
Fortunately, a friend pointed out to the cost of maintenance...
While checking for the cost of certain repairs, I also realized
that some parts were hard to find (in the middle of Illinois).

IIRC, it was similar to this one:

Thanks Igor!

Alfa Romeos in the USA are definitely enthusiast cars and often a bit
of a PITA to deal with. That said, they are delightful to drive and
always interesting in design and specification.

The Milano is a nice sedan, although not my favorite model (I much
preferred the Tipo 164). However, a friend of mine owns two GTV6s (one
for the track and one for the street, used on nice weekends and
trips). A Milano Verde is his daily driver and runaround car.
Obviously an enthusiast ... he's got all the connections for parts and
service needed, and doesn't care that he can't just drop it at the
local dealership.

It's all good. I'm not patient enough to play the game with older Alfa
Romeo cars anymore, although I drove Alfa Romeo Spiders for many years
and still love the marque. Hopefully we'll get some of the new models
in the coming years, now that FIAT is making an effort to return to
the US market.

You can already buy some Alfa Romeo hardware from Chrysler. The Dodge Dart is 
built on a slightly larger version of the Giulietta platform and has the same 
suspension system. One of the available engines, the 1.4-liter turbo four is 
from Alfa (and Fiat) as well. But the real prize, the sleek and sexy Alfa 4C, 
will be here soon, perhaps before the end of 2013.
