I think its Chris, its a proteo red one - saw it at Summer Alfa Day a few years back, nice fella - he is a member here but its rarely online.

I love the 164 Q4 but the only small criticism of them is that on sandard suspension they sit sooo high, if I had one I would drop it by about 50mm

Are you trying to frighten me into getting rid of it !

Quite frankly I might consider it as Mrs AntMat is making too many negative noises !

The Steyr-Puch bit is pretty solid as I recall and the driveshafts are meaty. What should I be looking out for then?

Surely not! The 164 Q4 is a gorgeous car, I wish I had one! The drive train is not the strongest part of the car though.

Yeah, I hear the repair bills are absolutely enormous I would start saving now.

Or sell it to me for £2k & I will take a chance
