Not surprised at some dodgy voltages. Half of Gioia was funded by NATO and all of it built by the local ahem 'prefered' builder! The experience of a German engineer who stayed at the Svevo and worked at the Thermosud factory said it all; even his Germanic stoicism was severly tried by some of the local working practises. Still, after some local ned nicked one of our cars, was caught and had a short chat with Il Grandio Formagio of the hire car company there was no need to lock the wheels again!
