It is, I was simply responding to Sean's remark....
I'm at a real loss for a response, did you read the entire thread? I think I clearly indicated what Pat thought about the Milano and the 164 and that I preferred the 164 because I didn't like heaving my guts up as I rode in or drove a Milano; I'm sure the owner of the Milano wouldn't appreciate it either. Is that clear enough as to what the Milano interior configuration does to me either as a passenger or driver and why I prefer the 164?
I think you're picking an argument where there isn't one to pick, but in case you missed it, that is my personal opinion as just an ordinary person whereas my husband actually had some Alfa credentials and standing; he wrote and published a few automotive books, as I recall, possibly three on Alfa and is cited in many other reputable and authoritative Alfa works worldwide. If you want to argue over his credentials go for it, but it won't be with me; his work does not require defending and has stood the test of time, including his MOTO award winning Weber book.

Must have missed that part that you liked the 164. Sorry to have made the comment. I know who your husband was. I have one of his books sitting on my shelf.
No need to go into the credentials as that comment is still his opinion.
So I will retract what i said as I must have missed that. I thought I read it all. But it looks like I missed a page.
BTW, the heat is a killer. We plan to move out of here in the next 2-3 years for the Snow. Flagstaff. But don't miss CA that much. I am not sure I have run into anyone there these days actually BORN there and raised there such as us. Funny thing is, they claim they are from there. I ask all the time, so where you from? They all answer "here"....Really, where where you born. Then most uh, um oh well I have only been here 3 years. Ahh ok!
Thanks
