In Feb. 2021 I drove my 2005 612 Scaglietti 1650+ miles from West Palm to Wisc. Piece of cake.
Also, the 612 has its quirks....an absurd rear seat, pathetic button assortment, etc., horrid instrumentation, etc. etc. However, put the go pedal...
FWIW I bought the 612 Scaglietti for its classic elegance.
Rolling Rock ain't what it used to be.
HaHa. Upon telling my wife I was buying a F I heard a resounding NO! Now she needs the correct sunglasses to ride in "Inge" aka the paint color...
Having Alfas for a half century failed to sway my wife (who is of Italian heritage) when in passing, having sold the '69 Duetto, I let it drop...
Many thanks for the responses. Have grown to dislike the P-zeros, but not a fan of Michelin either over the years. What are the Michelin's...
I would be interested in hearing opinions on current 612 tire choices.

FWIW...expect the unexpected. After more than 50 years driving Alfas (can anyone relate to fuel pump failure in the Holland Tunnel?) I grabbed a...
Better late than never. 2005 612 came without tool kit, tire repair kit, and who knows what else? The books all there in leather pouch. Any...
Thanks in advance, as my driver's side window switch is loose and wobbly, although still working...probably not for long. Greater detail on the...
Off topic, but anyone know of an alternative to the expensive Ferrari mirror control knob/switch?
Makes one remember a half century of Alfa blipping...Giulietta, Giulia, Duetto, GTV.etc. 1.3, 1.6, 1750, 2000 motors with good synchros in both 4...
In the process of replacing the F1 lever, which has more substantial posts, obviating need for the little brass grommets. One problem: when...
