Hi Ghostrider,

We bought a new Alfa Romeo in '76 and drove it about 300,000 miles in 12 years. This car had an amazing horn -- LOUD and jarring. <g> It also had a throttle on the dash and five gears forward.

My Alfa mechanic sez the Italians pull the throttle all the way out and bend it over and then control their speed by changing gears. Naturally, to save on the brakes, they use the horn a lot too... :o)
