Just wondering if it describes how to perform an "Italian Tune Up"? ;D

I fondly remember a TV commercial from Fiat in the 80s, when they introduced, I believe, the Punto.
It showed three scenes with captions:

- Designed by computers  - a room with engineers sitting behind CAD stations
- Assembled by robots - an assembly area with robots at work
- Driven by Italians - a Fiat Punto barreling through a "roundabout", veering off the road and rolling over.

“Italian tune-ups” are absolutely essential for Italian cars.
My Alfa’s just love them - they sing beautifully after that.

Unfortunately my license was suspended after the police saw me performing one ( speed laws are very strict where l live).

Here’s some quotes l like re: Italian cars ( mostly by Jeremy Clarkson). :)

“Rust! Invented by Germans and perfected by Italians.“

“Alfa Romeo make a car look and drive as well as car possibly could.......briefly!”

“Alfa Romeo has 6 litres of oil......and some of it is even inside the engine”


P.s - l happen to be first generation Italian.
