I keep watching this video every two months or so for many years. What a great way to remember that the Alfa Romeo's from that era are so beautiful and entertaining in the same time! They are pure passion, joy and fun on wheels! Pure Love! That is exactly what is missing from most of today's boring , everyday cars. They became just a transportation. FORZA ALFA ROMEO!👍

It really boggles my mind how many pretty cars Alfa have made over their long history. Every manufacturer has their ups and downs in terms of design, but nobody kept making so many good looking cars so consistently. Even their most simple and minimalistic looking cars have little something to catch your eye. Little quirk that gives it definitive personality.

Got my first Alfa in 1967, a '64 registered 101Sprint Normale. A long series of Alfas followed. That first car got me into restoration, a must given the way Alfas rust. I loved them but finally gave them up. I did meet a lot of good people in the DC club, I miss that. I now live in NH and have a 2016 Mazda MX-5, a spiritual successor to the Spiders I had, the last a '59 750 Spider I restored. Sacrilegious I know but the car is great fun, too bad it doesn't have the Alfa shield on the nose.
