Alfa 159 Part II. (any alfa discussion welcomed too)

[Ncss]

You'll be surprised at how many Euro cars not getting 5 stars, for instance Audi Q7, although huge in size, but only 4-stars.. NCAP is not only the toughness of the car body/chassis but also other safety features.

 

And who says that budget cars don't get 5 stars? Have you checked NCAP & NHTSA websites to see the ratings? Even Hyundai Avante & i30, Kia Forte are getting 5-stars..

 

Actually heavy car more difficult to get 5 stars... heard they uses the same amount of weight for crash test, so the amount of crash force is different.

 

Example: Q7 is 2 ton... they will crash with a 2 ton simulation metal block, normal Jap car 1.2 ton... they crash with 1.2 ton. So if 4 stars Q7 head to head crash with a 5 stars Jap car, not necessary the Jap car will win.

Was it red? If it's not red then I'm sure it's not an alfa you saw.

[Yattokame]

Yo, Yatto-san. You old car is back in the sgcarmart.

I don't mind this Sunday though.... about 10am? T3? we can have Ya-Kun breakfast or even macdonald's.

We can even pick up Lamebrain around 11-ish, assuming he meant 11-plus MORNING. (Do you want an alfa flag and cheering for you?)

with the heavy rain these few mornings it might be good to park at somewhere with shelter; the lowest basement (i think B3) is a good place to park. should be empty on sunday mornings.

Yes agree but car come with 18 at the moment with Eagle F1 Asymmetric so got to drive it for a will.

 

Did you manage to get your zymol wax done on the car yet?

 

Been so busy could barely afford the time and energy for polishing on top of my weekly washes.

I still have two sessions left with Groomworks. Should I finish them off first before I start the Zymol? Or is it ok to have a zymol between the zaino sessions?
