Spiderfrek, your English is better than my Italian. I am a member of the Alfa Romeo club here in Adelaide which has about 260 members with all kinds of Alfas from the 1950s to the present. Several of us have 75s. Alfas have always been greatly respected here and we have no problem getting parts for the old ones or having them repaired by experts. There are at least four Montreals in Adelaide for example. My Alfa mechanic had two of them in his workshop the other day. Thirty members of our club race their old Alfas in circuit sprints regularly. I don't think of my 75 as an old car. It is a wonderful car and beats a lot of new ones hands down as far as I am concerned. It has a brilliant engine, superb handling, and feels like a new car with no rattles or squeaks from the interior trim. I drove a brand new Peugeot 407 for two weeks in England last year and it was absolutely boring compared to my 75.
