I have a picture of snow and my Milano, but I'm not sure if the language in it would be appropriate for this forum..

Hi Dave.what type of Alfa are you driving these days ?
Here is a picture of my GTV6 in the snow.It was the one and only time I subjected her to such abuse. Left her parked outside one night and we got an unexpected dump.It took her a few months to forgive me but now she safely sleeps in my nice dry garage.

Dave,

I don't have any shots in the snow, would you settle for rain?

I'm tempted to bring my milano out for one day in winter, and do some ice racing (we're probably setting that up this year), that would be a lot of fun....but my car is already complaining about some rust issues...

At the top of the Brunige Pass in Switzerland back in April of this year.



And as usually happens in the snow with this car the ABS gives up. Is this a standard feature on a 156 as I have heard it happening to another one as well?

kind of sad that when your car should need it most, it gives up.

Have you talked to a dealership about it?
