    Default How do you say 155.

    Something struck me whilst booking the car in for its CT, in the UK I refered to the 155 as an Alfa 'one-five-five' over here in France they call them Alfa 'cent cinquante-cinq' (One hundred and fifty five)
    Do any of our international members say it in a different way? One-fifty-five? Hundred-five-five?

    No point to this thread, but it just interests me.
    1994 Alfa Romeo 155 , 1995cc Std Standard Black

    Alfa one hundred and fifty five here in Argentina.
    Also, many people names the Q4 in a female way. ie: I´ve recently changed her tires.

    Yes what is that about in the UK we have had a thirty-three,
    and a seventy-five but then we go one-five-five, one-six-four, one-five-six, etc
    Is it cos we struggle with big numbers???

    Here, in Portugal, we say one hundred and fifty five: "cento e cinquenta e cinco".
    But it's the Q4 for the "conaisseurs",

    Some alfisti treat their alfas like "her" but the Q4 is a "he", surely :twisted:

    The 155 we call "one hundred fifty five" but the q4 we call "bitch" :twisted: , because the spelling of "Q4" is very similar to the word "bitch" in Bulgarian ("KU CHetvorKA" -> "kuchka")
