Don't collide!!!!!!!!!!
Since summer,I have been suffered from collisions and scratches,so I
feel so sad........
1st,after 6 month inspection in Aug.,I found scratches on each left side
corners of F/R bumpers.I doubt who made this????
Scratches on each left side of front and rear bumpers.
2nd,In Nov.,while runing on Shuto-expressway,something hit the front
bumper then went under the engine.I was surprised at impact sound,so
I guessed,something of the engine parts or the mission parts got off.I stopped
the car immediately then checked.Nothing was wrong but I found a deep scratch
on the bumper....What did hit?What was flying on the highway?I guess,it
must be a heavy metal plate..........
Something hit on left side of the front bumper.As the picture,a plate
shaped object hit the bumper.And a fog lamp has no damage,so I guess,a heavy
metal plate flied and hit.
3rd,in the mid of Dec. While I parked at a public parking,someone collided
with my ALFA.Deep deep scratch was made on a previous scratch on
the left side of rear bumper!Who did it!!!!
Deep scracth on left side of the rear bumper.
4th,Dec.30.On the Wangan expressway,when I stopped at a toll-gate and
was paying,a car run into from behind!Oh my god!!!!!!!!!It's tooooooo
sad!!!!!Fortunately the damage is small,but I feel soooooooooo BAD!!!!!!!!
Small scracthes were made around the red line.
DO NOT COLLIDE ANY MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALFA168?
The name of 164 was named after its development code of 164.Basically
the model names of ALFA aren't related to their development code such as
155.The reason is that just after FIAT owned ALFA ROMEO,the development
code of 164 was leaked by a staff of FIAT while ALFA ROMEO developed 164.
After 164 was released,164 had been sold in all around the world about 1
year later.But In Hong Kong,the name of 164 was changed to
168 because pronunciation of 4 in Chinese is same with the
death.In Japan,we sopmetimes don't use the number 4 as well as Hong Kong
because of same reason,but the name of 164 was not changed.4 in Japanese
language has two pronunciations of 'Shi' and 'Yon'.'Shi' is same with the
death,but we call 164 as 'Ichi Roku Yon'.It's no problem.
I saw 164(168) in Hong Kong before,but I had not noticed about this.Then
how about in Taiwan and in Mainland China??
'168' is already used,so further model of 166 will skip 168??Next
model will be 167 or 169?

Head lamps.
Since I got ALFA164,I have felt,in the night time many cars cut in ahead
of me even though they are very close to me.It's dangerous,so I always feel
bad.I'm wondering why they do such a dangerous driving?
I guess,maybe it is caused by projector lamps.1994's ALFA 164L has projector
lamps.The prolector lamps had been popular about 10 or 5 years ago because
Its small design causes thin nose design.But cars which have projector lamps
are seen smaller than they appear because of their small lights.However
the span of right and left lamps is rather longer than standard class cars,so
I'm wondering,people can't distinguish the corrective size of the cars which
has the projector lamps and corrective passing speed?
What do you think about ALFA 166?
Oct.15,1999
The ALFA's Flag Ship/ALFA166 which is next model of 164 has been put
on Japanese market since Sep.18.The body chassis shares with FIAT car as
well as 164 and everything of 166 was much higher developed than 164 which
was designed over ten years ago.Many points of body strength,noise resistant
of inside,suspension,feels of transmission shifting and design are rather
developed and are different from 164.166 was changed to exist in current
automobile industory.It should be a good news for people and ALFESTA,BUT
at fist I can't accept all of 166.Of course 166 is nice car,but it's difficult
for me to find taste of ALFA.Because 166 is too comfortable and too quiet
as same as TOYOTA,and appearance design of 166 that was designed by ALFA
is duller than 164.I can find many of cars like TOYOTA very easly in Japan.I
can't find the reason to choose 166.While I drove a test car,I was disappointed
as 164 is still better than this....But that time I couldn't find myself
that I was enjoying this.After test drinving,I've thought about 166 all
the time...Why? I don't know,but maybe I'm getting to love it day by day.I
looked 166 at a dealer for a long time,then I found that it is cool design,and
remined that the driving was hot.
Maybe I get 166 next time........
