Yes, I too noticed that little nugget of info dropped into another thread with no explanation.
Enquirering minds want to know...

He's probably still on his way home, parked by the side of the road....

Alfas are reliable. At least mine was.

I discovered what he purchased, but don't want to steal his thunder. Looks like a good buy for him.

No, he got a BiTurbo. Gives a different perspective on the Alfa.

Actually my Milano was dead nuts reliable. The never stranded me once.

Come to think of it, of all the Italian car's I've had I've only been stranded twice - once when an ECU failed on an X1/9 - fixed with Megasquirt and once when the vacuum advance pod disappeared on my current daily X1/9.

Luckily, the Biturbo failed at home.

My 81 GTV-6 only stranded me once in the 6 years that I DD it. The 20 year old fuse that ran the injectors blew.

My Civic was by far the worst in terms of reliability of all of the cars I have owned.
