Actually the Q is *NOT* the one you want. You really want a Q4, but barring the near impossibility of finding (let alone buying, driving, and SERVICING) a Q4, the one you really want is a 12-valve S. It’s the best handling of the FWD 164s and has the most characterful engine (also oil squirters in the block,…

This is so much crack it hurts my soul. At first I thought it was a Q4. which has a 6-speed, computer-controlled torque-vectoring AWD and was rumoured to LOOSE Alfa over $50k on every one sold due to the complexity and cost of the AWD and the fact that the chassis were hand-rebuilt to accept the revised suspension and…

Hey Ford USA! They can have this in the UK market FieSTa... (fully heated windshield)

yeah, it won’t satisfy for my ironbutt trips to the Maine coast for fresh lobster lunch, but the local fun could be most entertaining.

Tuned pipe, not “fart can” the difference is extremely important when talking 2-stroke. ;)

“lively” hah.

much rubber. so tire. wow!

The fact that scoot had such amazing brakes is probably the only reason I’m still alive after riding it... that and the fact that he had Heidenau slicks on it. (his was an early (1995?) one with the adorable tiny little four-piston brembo front calipers...)

I can tell you from experience that the riding a hot scooter like that is TERRIFYING.

If he hated it we’d all know...

huh. High mileage, but it does appear to be amazingly clean. 6 years ago I paid $5000 for a 2000 Corolla with 60K miles on it... It’s a lot of money for what it is, but it’s not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things and when will you see another one this clean? I know I haven’t seen one this clean since my best…

I carry the BMW factory tool roll + a can of Slime QuickSpare.

Ah, yes. Italians :) I love you guys. My '92 Alfa Romeo 164-S had no cup holders, two ashtrays and no clock. You folks really do have your priorities straight (I no longer smoke, but I know how it is...)

FTFY

pretty sure that's a Lambo... /reads plate. OH,my bad.

That shift in engine and rotor noise sounds like exactly what happens when the main-shaft lock gives out and the rotors feather under load on my micro RC helicopter. (Usually brought about by violent inversion, jerky, ham-fisted, half-assed attempts at blenders and tick-tocks and me failing to check the lock collet…

You could probably get a cheaper set, but as far as OEM options go this is not overpriced at all.

I suppose Willow Pond Lane is also in Williston... But Its south of the interstate so it doesn’t count ;)
