Depends how rusty the Alfa is!

They were mostly holes even when they left the factory, weren't they?
When I worked in a software house, our resident "Car Geek" spent ages
looking for a "good" alpha. Sadly we drive on the left in the UK so
there is a large hole in the left hand side front foot well where the
steering column and foot controls are designed to go. They move the
controls to the right and put a plate over it to keep the water
out....... but this still filled with water.
The cars owner could never decide if it was coming in through gaps
round the edge of the plate, or because the Sun Roof leaked and the
water flowed down into his foot well......
Debugging this was way harder than fixing any software issue I have ever
met...

p.s. At this point will is it time for the K&R car joke?
How many
Fuji Eagles does it take to outweigh an Alfa?
