I was amazed how clever it was twisted - stating the obvious, but making it heroic in the car that will only reach 100 km/hr in 30 minutes time if there’s no front wind! 🤣🤣 That said - I LOVE THIS CAR aka “Il FRIGO” around here ❤️

@ huh, much better than 126p 😎😎🔝🔝 (and that FIRE engine is indestructible too)

Thank you very much for your comment! I’m so happy to hear from someone who enjoys AND follows this mini doc! You’re actually very right - it’s been long due and the “Update” is actually currently in works! Coming out soon for the one year ownership anniversary 😉

How is your Multipla doing? How many kms on its clock and whereabouts are you?

Sorry 🙏🏻 My bad! I’ll add them. Promise!

Links added! Done ✅

@@MotoringBug nice, thank you :)

No, my friend. The starting point was the town called Foligno (Umbria) and then we drove to Montefalco - where they grow the famous Sagrantino grape and make the eponymous wine 🍷

@ mea culpa. Those italian hills are looking all the same😎😎 CHEERS

🤩 GTV 2000!!! 🤤🤤🤤 Where is it now?

@@MotoringBug - Back in the 80s I had a friend who let me drive the aforementioned Alfa when we were together. When I was behind the wheel, he loved it when we raced other sporty cars that pulled up at the light. "Go, go, go, he'd be crying out as I went through the gears. The car roared. He eventually sold it and bought a clunky old long XKE, as he felt it would get him more action with the ladies. A few years later, I met a young fellow who had recently bought an Alfetta. He let me take him for a drive on the roads I knew in the foothills of the Ozarks for several hours. Great car. 100 mph on two lane blacktop. I owned a beater '70 Giulia back then. When it had an oil leak which froze the 1750 engine, I put it on a low platform in my dining room and disassembled it. Such a beautiful little hunk of aluminum with iron piston sleeves. Everything about that engine was lovely. When I thought I had fixed it, I put it back in the car, but it wouldn't start. I was in way over my head. Someone took it off my hands.

Great story! Thanks for sharing! I’m pretty sure that Alfa was a much better racer than E-Type and possibly better pick up car too 😄 but that depends what kind of ladies he was after, of course 😉

Thank you, sir! Much appreciated! 🙏🏻

It’s stock to the silencers and then custom 🙂

Peccato! We can send them by shiploads from here 🤣 But you had Fiat 127 when we had Lada - Fiat124 in USSR 😉 Grazie per il commento! 🙏🏻

Yes. Considering that 127 was launched in 1971 and in 1972 it’s got Car of the Year award - exactly the time when our first Lada’s rolled off the conveyor.

I also wish we could have it in USSR instead of 124! 😄

Grazie 🤩

Thank you! I’m living with it very happily! ❤️

They might have been “shitboxes” (though I prefer calling them econoboxes) back in a day, but the fact is that despite many of them were designed clever and simple mostly out of sheer necessity, they still delivered that “functional fun” from the ownership of an actual transportation! That’s what our two part film on this true Italian icon is all about. I understand totally that in today’s world fear of massive vehicles surrounding you sitting in this tin box may take a toll on a joy, but then there are so many people riding bicycles and even electric scooters 🛴 in cities - totally unprotected from cars or objects. I guess we can agree that Cinquecento is still great in town… AND then there’s this endearing noise from parallel twin air cooled beast!!! 😅❤️🤩

🤣🤣🤣 love this!

Ciao my motoring friend from UK 🇬🇧!!! Wow 🤩 What a fantastic news this is! Now your channel description calls for update! What name did you christen it with? 😄 Are you planning to make a video on it and it’s restoration anytime soon? Did you watch my film before or after you git this rare beauty?

When I sold my soul to Alfa, I kinda made myself part of the tribe of Alfaholics 😅 which is actually one the biggest names in classic Alfa world: www.alfaholics.com - great guys and gurus from UK! Thanks for watching my channel 🙏🏻

@@MotoringBug i've owned two and never heard this ... better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all ... right?

Absolutely!

@donny2327 Thank you very much! Yes, Alfas are way too special to part with. If you can, please, share. 🙏🏻

Absolutely! It’s been parked in different parking spots every day!

Grazie mille 🤩 🙏🏻

Thank you so much! Yes, I should’ve mentioned that, but then it’s better to show the seats being removed, then loading it up, which I couldn’t do at this location. I will plan it for the next video. Also I have made the video on Multipla Van from Holland :) Cheers!

We tried 😁

Most of the time it’s true, but let’s wait for the Garage Talk video on RAV4, when it gets up on a hoist ;-) My FIAT MULTIPLA has 340,000 on the clock and it too still goes strong 💪🏻

@@MotoringBug haha that's decent my rav has 757k miles and five speed 3rd synchro crunches when I redline bit I can't complain drove a 1.4 turbo Fiat 500 and it was blast but my mate only got 120 before the gdi killed it

120K miles might be not too bad for a small 4 pot Turbo, but ultimately it’s a proof - drive classics! :)) They were made better! 😂

Bravo William 🙌🏻 Where did you find the info?

@@MotoringBug The great big internet. Helped by Google

😂👍🏻

With that great Turbo 5 cylinder should be lots of fun! I’ve yet to review one on my channel 😉

Thank you! 🙏🏻 Appreciate your comment and subscription very much!

Thanks very much for watching! Stay tuned! 😉

You have a point! But Niva was the first lightweight real off-roader carrying passengers in a relative comfort 🙂 Relative bc of a 60s tech it was based on. RAV4 went the other way - less off-road capabilities, but better road manners. I’m not mentioning comfort because it’s obvious with 20 years younger design/technology. So, yeah - the 1st SUV in our current understanding of it. But it’s FWD version is not the first crossover. That was Matra Rancho as I explained in my other film. Thank you for the comment and please stay tuned! More content is the works!

I did one :)) The 1st CLASSIC CAR SHOW of 2024 - Arezzo Classic Motors. Walk around, highlights and photos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3fCm6JrYphnr5Y

Thanks very much! 🙌🏻 Yes! Totally agree on the radio, but CD player would be better 😉 Love your take on RAV4 abbreviation! Awesome! 🤣

🙌🏻 thank you 👍🏻

Grazie mille Sergio!

Hermosa - no, interesante - sí 😂

Thank you for the comment! I'm sorry if it was difficult to hear what I was saying 😊

@marcogiammona1928 Grazie mille!!!

They’re great, probably the most misunderstood cars of the century 🙂 Make us special - who buy and keep them 😉Thank you 🙏🏻

There's beauty at every corner here! Come over soon!!!

Bravo Boris! 👏🏻 How come you know that?

⁠Growing up I learned to use an encyclopedia to check facts (Brockhaus and Efron encyclopedic dictionary from 1890 in my case). This habit evolved with the onset of internet. Search engines are our friends 😂

I guessed it right then 🤣
