That GTA-R is the greatest thing I have seen. Stunning.
Mumbo Jumbo Woah I didn't think I'd see you here..
mumbo for mayor
Phenomenal
didn’t expect mumbo here
All the arguments about the Quadrifoglio are valid until you hear and see one in person. I have a neighbor that got a red one a month or so ago and man, it looks like nothing else when you see it coming down the road. In a sea of BMWs, Audis and Mercedes that all kind of look the same and blend in with each other, the Quadrifoglio really stand out.
But the only downfall is it's not a manual
@@THEBOSS7223 Lamborghini, Audi, Lexus, Mercedes, Bugatti, Koenigsegg, and most importantly Ferrari.... None of them are offering manual transmissions anymore. You must be stuck in the past. We'll pretend you didn't speak.
@@esvignettes7592 That doesn't mean it's good, even the Stinger and most Porsches still offer them. Wouldn't dream of owning an automatic version of my car, even if it was possible to get one with a DCT.
The fact cars from the mid-2000s that came with the rare option of a manual are now increasing in price is proof of this. Manuals look bad in terms of performance and on a spec-sheet, and are very good in making supercars much more usable, but on more pedestrian vehicles such as this Mondeo-competitor, it's really not necessary to remove them all together, even if many buyers opt otherwise.
There's talk of the new M3 having a purist version that will offer a manual, only with a slightly detuned engine, as today's cars are so powerful and manuals increasingly niche, they don't want to/can't develop a manual box capable of taking more.
@@karlosbricks2413 You must not own a car with this transmission or have driven a QV saying, "that doesn't mean it's good"
@@esvignettes7592 If you read my comment carefully, you'll realise I was referring to the trend away from Manuals in general. Sure plenty of autos are not bad, but they cannot match a good Manual gearbox in most cases.
You know a video is great when it invokes the emotional side of you. Alfa, I wish you great success going forward.
A great video to end the night...
NEVER let emotion get in the way of logic and reason.....
@@michaelmeliambro5117 yes you should sometimes... alfa is the passion of driving!
@@michaelmeliambro5117 logic and reason are what keep you alive, emotion is the purpose of being alive
@@rodolphemouradian8300 I think I'd rather be dead just from LOOKING at an Alfa.
@@michaelmeliambro5117 buy some glasses then bro
I'm a simple man, I see a Alfa GTA or GT Junior and I upvote. Proud owner of a GT 1300 Junior!
R Michael 46 i'm so jealous ): enjoy it man
Nice man, my dad used to own a gt junior 1600.
Have fun with the car man!
Ricardo thank you:) my dad owns a 1968 Spider 1750. These Alfas are just awesome! I had luck with mine because the prices are getting very high nowadays.
South4153 I invite you for a ride sir:)
R Michael 46 You are kind :), keep sharing the passion for cars!
I have to agree "your never a petrolhead until you had a Alfa" I can't afford a Giulia yet but I've owned a 159 for last 3 years and I have to say it's amazing in any way, beautiful and very reliable as long as you do regular servicing but most of all you can feel the road ,the way it corners at speeds just makes you feel alive. As for a Giulia I'm saving 😁
Unless youve owned an Alfa, you will never understand, never!
George Sidis Myself as an avid motorcyclist, I hear this "reasoning" over & over regarding Harley Davidson bikes...Granted, I have not ridden a HD, but I have sat on one idling at a showroom brand-new....the vibration was shocking, as I revved it simulating some 40-60 mph worth, the vibration quickly became numbing & intolerable....knowing all the specs, steering geometry, power to weight ratio, gas-tank capacities, etc. the only benefit would be a better fuel economy.
Much of this type of prattle is similar to the praise heaped upon Alfa Romeos..."never mind the statistics, it;s how it makes you feel"...Uh, no, I don't want to passed up by some soccer-mom in her Mercedes with better "statistics"....& poor reliability & cost of serviceability is not a sign of character or uniqueness...it is just that, reliability & serviceability. The only, only benefit of the Alfa is styling...& even that is debatable.
@@AndieBlack13 Statics now days, point that the soccer mom in her mercedes will spend more time in dealer ship and lost lot more out of pocket than any modern era Alfa Romeo owner . Alfa's broke down like any car on road . Mercedes, BMW and Audi are simply the masters of what they doing , its call Marketing . Itailians suck on that area
true, especially the old-boxer-engines...
..damn straight!..I'm on my forth Alfa Romeo now..Mito Multiair Turbo..soo great to drive..I'l stick with Alfas til the end now!🍀
@@n0stradam0s I presume you meant statistics (statics - no spell checker?). I have owned 6 Audi's totalling more than 30 years of driving (15-20K per year) and only one of them broke down, once - and that was my fault. I have owned 2 Alfas - 2.5 years in total and they broke down; 3 times for this 1st and twice for the second. Ignoring your ridiculous comment of "static now days", I think it is clear the statistics speak for themselves; Audi, BMW and Mercedes make the best, most reliable cars there is and it is easy to market things that are the best - even if you are a crap salesman. Saying all that I loved my Alfas and as soon as they become affordable again I will own one (I mean a real one!).
"The occasional nice engine" Hmm. understatement for the benefit of the rest of the piece? The Busso is a bit more than just a a 'nice engine'
I have to say that when I joined to the motorway with the new Alfa Giulia, I forgot the slightly "cheaper" interior parts completely and my senses were concentrated purely to FEELING the car, its behaviour and the acceleration. That was the moment when I fell in love with Alfa Romeo. It makes you feel and most importantly, it makes you feel you're ALIVE. And you could almost feel the presence of the legacy of greats like Tazio Nuvolari, Giuseppe Campari, Antonio Ascari and other Alfa legends...
Just ordered a '22 Giulia Veloce. Can't wait to own my first Alfa!
Update: I'm in love with the drive of my new Alfa. I get the hype now.
I have only recently been introduced to the world of the alfa I brought a 159 sportwagon about 2 months ago and every day I drive it it makes me feel special when on the daily commute to work especially when you pull up to the traffic lights surrounded by BMW and audi business barges I look around at them in their dull cars and I am thankful for the day that I set eyes on my 159 and decided to make the purchase that I did
Same here my friend, i have an alfa 159 sedan in black. Sure its not the best to drive and the the interror not at par with some germans, but everytime i park it next to a german rival and look at both of them. I know i made the right choice.
I loved my 159 I now have a 595. You’re right, they make you feel special. It’s an occasion rather than just get in a drive
I've owned alfa for 13 years, and although the 159 was a step from 156 (own 156 sw 2.0 jts) the 159 is heavy and imo not as much fun, around the corners, as the 156.
This video is just beautiful. The sceneries are as gorgeous as they come. Thank you for the hard work.
Great, now I hate my life because I don't own an Alfa.
Hackbrett Schorsch so go pick one up now. Thanks to all the haters, BMW fans and idiots who have lots to say, but nothing to show about how utterly ‘bad’ all Alfas are, really brilliant ones can be had for parking change. Just make sure you get a V6 for max pleasure😜
Hackbrett Schorsch don't beat yourself up buddy! Just simply buy one, oh and make sure it's a V6 for full pleasure! 😜♥️😎
Sadly I removed the left part of the canal so it's not safe anymore.
Get one, buy one from an enthusiast
LOL REALLY????? I don't have one, and I'm making out just fine!!
I am a proud owner of an Alfa Romeo Mito. It is my first car and honestly, I enjoy every moment with it. I never intended to buy an Alfa, but this Mito was sold by a local guy and fit into my budget. And than when I first saw the car I was blown - can I own this car? It was super sporty and unique. And than I sit in and I knew immediately that I don’t want anything else. Every piece of it was just in place, and you could clearly see the Italian elegance and style on the interior. People who sit in are amazed that this is a 10 years old car - it looks amazing.
Alfas are unique cars and they give you driving experience no other car can give - the steril and ship-like big German cars are chasing me out of the world with their boring design and colour range (you really can’t distinguish between two models). When I was in the Alfa Museum in Milan last year I was blown by their design, their power and their history. After the trip I sit in my Mito like “wow, you are a sport car with a proud history”.
That's awesome, what engine does your Mito have?
I have one too, and it’s my first Car too. I agree with everything you said. It’s just a magic feeling stepping in to one.
Many seams to forget that Ferrari was involved making this car. Now I´m a BMW fan but I´m a bigger car fan and when someone does something good or great it deserves recognition and then I do not care from where or what brand did it.
I would certainly love to have both these Alfas in my garage that is for sure.
I like your way of thinking!
Alfa Romeo was involved in the making of Scuderia Ferrari. BMW wasnt ;)
I'd love to have a 105 GTA & an E30 M3 EVO 2
I love that in every single video of people comparing the new Giulia with an old GTA or GTV, in the new one they are serious and composing well, but as soon as they cut to the classic ones they have this wide open smile in their faces.
I love Alfa's and it's great to see cars being produced by this iconic marque that are still class leading and relevant. I have started my own Alfa channel and hope some of you guys will support me on the journey!
The 105 shape is so impressive still after all these years... It has a mystical, mesmerizing beauty, you just never get tired looking at this car! It's truly one of a kind, no other car has come close to this cars magic.
The location, cars, reviewer, video quality and therefore the channel is spot on...
i'm on my 7'th Alfa in 22 years, love them.
👍👍🏽👍🏿👍🏻
This made me emotional.
No good Alfa's in your life time? What about the Gtv6? Great styling, and very good performance and handling for the time.
156 GTA, 159 1750tbi and brera S
Agreed, and if it was RWD .......
Brera It’s on my list of the US after the 25 year import rule kicks in
That GTA-R is pure porn. I don't think there is any Alfa that embodies the brand more than this work of art
audioh0lic only if Alfa put the Busso in the 105/115 Spider their sales would've gone through the roof if they did that. I'm putting the 3.0l from a 164 in my spider in my mind that is the perfect Alfa.
Jimmy Grant Too much weight in the front. Twinspark on carbs. 🍀🤙🏼
Michel Schuijff not too much weight in the front it's been proven that the car handles better with 40 pounds more in the front.
More like pure CRINGE on four wheels.....
My love for old Alfas has grown exponentially over the years. They have a certain soul that is all their own.
I personally loved the 155 V6 Ti DTM they produced! Beautiful car and sounded incredible on track. Giulia is mad! Lovely
People who say they are unreliable are turds. Have owned several and they’ve been just as reliable as anything else. Took a real beating occasionally too.
There's a bit of exaggeration about Alfa's "disappearance" over the last 25 years. This applies for sure to the Us market, but not at all to Europe, which have seen pretty closely what happened in between. Many models came out, yea all frontwheelers, but some of them where just as beatiful as funny to drive and achieved great success and prizes. Just think of the 155 (DTM champion), the 156 (1997 Car Of The Year), the159 and the Giulietta. Each one of those were sold in hundreds of thousands, in some cases 700,000 (like the 156), that means strong market presence. I didn't mention masterpieces like the Brera and the Spyder, and the GT. The new Giulia marks certainly the brand's "reboot" back to rear wd, but it doesn't mean it's been doing nothing in the meantime, as it may sound.
The David I agree on all front, except one thing: the Brera was AWFUL to drive. It was like steering a truck.
The David Correct, was about to say the same. An abundance of great models. This idiot was probably just trying to sound dramatic.
Dont forget the 147, which was chosen car of the year in 2001
Journalists are all the same. They just say what the rest of them are supposed to say. It's group think.
What about the MiTo. The MiTo was released as part of the 8C. It was designed at the Alfa Romeo Design Centre. And was the first Alfa Romeo to include the DNA system. And the TCT gearbox. Most importantly I’m a proud owner of one.
Stunning cinematography D_TRB! Especially the last shot, that gave me chills! Henry was top draw like always
Beautiful piece. Really appreciate giving the brand some context with the car from Alfaholics, as I have never seen Alfas until their recent return to North America. Like Henry said, I had no concept of the brand except through other enthusiasts and history books. Perfect.
Am an amg fan boy i have to agree with that BUT i'd have that alfa over anything made in germany. You buy alfa's with hearts, which is what set them apart. People won't wont understand. But when you gonna drive down the road one day. People will stare at you, not at a bmw or a merc.
People always look at an Italian car, even if it's a very common one. Fiat 500 still turning heads after all these years - and that's a cheap city car for crying out loud. With Alfas and other Italian machines it's the passion and style that people look at. Being rare or common has nothing to do with it.
@@varmastiko2908 i agree. most if not all beautiful car's design is italian or made by italian designer. For example the first models of VW Golf are made by italian designer
@@mirkoclay2357 Giugiaro is a legend for sure, though his early designs had more inspiration than the later ones.
@@varmastiko2908 true😊
Now, this is what I go online to see. Absolutely lovely video and even more fodder for me to follow my sublime test drives of the QV with an actual purchase. Cheers.
I had a Alfa 75 and Spider. So I done my duty as Petrolhead with Alfa :-D - Maybe later again a classic as Weekendcar but never again as daily driver.
Congratulations, sir. You are the first car journalist to know HOW TO PROPERLY START A CAR. The others simply crank at the key like maniacs ignoring all the things that need to happen before the engine turns over.
Henry Catchpole is a top tier presenter. I'm always stoked when a new one of his vids comes out.
I'm the owner of an Alfa 159 Ti after owning Audi's and BMW's in the past there's something very special about the alfa romeo that the German cars don't have.. the styling is exquisite and my 159 has been ultra reliable i love getting in it each day I can't see myself ever replacing it until maybe a Giulia quadrifoglio 😍
One of best videos on Alfa. Great job Henry!
Beautiful video, 2 beautiful machines, stunningly beautiful scenery, and a proper driver in Henry. Well done!
car enthusiasts like to tinker, add stuff, customize an older enthusiast told me at an Alfa club meet in 1979, "Alfa give you a base to start from, where you take it is up to you".
Content is fantastic as always, brilliant production values and great review!
Those videos are so beautifully made! Great channel

Have you driven any of these ? I think I know the answer to that.
I fully agree. I am fortunate enough to own an ‘84 GTV6, which, because it was one of the cars of my dreams, i picked up 8 years ago when they could still be had for decent prices. I would never sell it, partly because of sentiment, partly because i have no history on this particular car, and probably would never get the best price for it, but mostly because i love it, i truly love it. The way this car makes me feel is indescribable. I also own a ‘02 156 V6 in Alfa Rosso color, and love it nearly as much as the GTV6. The 156 in its own way is equally as special as the GTV6, and other Alfas of old. It is just so different from other cars in its class, in a good way. It is super compact, yet can seat 4 comfortably, the V6 version has a marvelous engine, even though it is front wheel drive, it handles very nice. It looks fantastic, and i honestly cannot walk away after parking it without looking back at least once. My 156 is now 16 years old, and still gets compliments everywhere it goes, and still looks modern in a parking lot full of todays weirdly kinked and creased car designs. Both of them are definitely brilliant Alfas, even though they are from different eras..
Alfa SZ...I think even the GTV 916 not being an "ultimate driving machine" was quite a mark. And even in a more "normal" point of view, twin spark and boxer engines were very good.
André Faria i fully agree. The SZ is something very special. I was lucky enough to have a brief encounter with a nice example very recently, which is a rare occasion, specifically on my side of the pond. The 916 cars were also great cars, and also becoming collectable with well kept V6 GTV’s now fetching good money, especially Cup editions.
miclewis55 Absolutely, and you can add the Spider and GTV to that list as well.
My 145 cloverleaf drives like a dream after 23 years & no expensive restoration work, not everyone's cup of tea but that's kinda why I love it, I don't want it to be universally revered, I like the whole underdog image, especially when showing much more expensive cars up on back roads😉
keep coming back to this video.. one of the best!
I have an E46 BMW M3 race car, arguably one of BMW's finest moments, one of many love affairs with BMW, both on track and on the road in the past few decades, I also have a Quadrifoglio, the "Quad" is the one of the best cars I have ever had the pleasure of owning and enjoying, it reminds me of a time when BMW's had a soul, something lacking in all modern BMW's. I love cars, BMW's used to itch that itch, and now my Quad itches that itch alongside an older BMW. If you can drive don't bother with the Quadrifoglio on track, the brakes can't handle it more than a couple of laps, despite being awesome brakes.
That engine sounds like a pitch shifted Doberman growling. Sweet af
I'm not that way inclined and I am British but....your voice + this vid is rather relaxing as the last thing in the day.
Nononono, Owning an Alfa is driving a car with emotions, getting in the car knowing it may break down on the side of road, knowing every time you are traveling with her it may end up in an epic yet frustrating adventure.
Nice video, that Alfaholics Giulia is gorgeous.
I think Alfas are really overlooked cars, I own a 145 Cloverleaf and it's such a brilliant little car. One of the best hot-hatches of the 90's
What a magical video!! Thanks for this, guys
WOW, that shot at the end,,,,,,,I'm not sure what word(s) to use. Stunning, amazing, beautifully unique and or totally worthy of praise.
I am proud to say I own the mid-point - the last of the V6 Guigaro-stlyed 156 manuals - its a great blend of sophisticated electronics, real Alfa Busso V6, and wand-like precision manual. Styling echoes that of the Junior, but it is moving towards the Guilia - and despite being FWD, it is a delirious pleasure to drive. Its also a wonder - Alfa is as old as RR, Bentley and Bugatti - and yet it has continued to produce affordable exotica for the enthusiast to this day, despite small production numbers - could you imagine a Rolls-Royce hatchback family car ? Well, thats what Alfa have found their success in making...and given the small production numbers, their ability to function as well as they do function is incredible.
I really enjoyed this film. I love Alfas and have owned a few over the last 30 years including 1978, Alfetta 2.0, 1981 guilietta, 1977 Sud Ti, 1985 Sprint Cloverleaf (tuned), 155 1.8, 156 2.5, 164 twinspark, 164 gold cloverleaf, 159, brera 3.2. I would love to have a garage with just these two!
Beautiful Cinematography
Even the *ahem* less great Alfas have had the saving grace of a gorgeous sounding motor, that boxer and twin spark growl and yes, even the 5 cylinder diesel sounds good. You've driven a corner of my dream garage with those two, Im glad they drive as good as they look
Awesome job. the editing was seamless, music was tasteful and as a whole this video was deeply immersive
My first car was an Alfa 75! Bought a year ago, at 21 years old! It's special to drive, beautiful to see and rich of story!
Thank you so much for perfect videos.🌼🌼🌼
What a fantastic piece of film. You have made my day
Really love the calm music and relaxed way of reviewing.
absolutelly stunning immages!
you put alot of work and efford doing this! I really enjoyed watching
Wonderful video, I love it. Congrats and good work as always
Best video I’ve seen since Jeremy Clarkson drove the V12 Vantage on Top Gear, did a very good job of bringing out the emotional side of driving
Fantastic work (from all involved!)
Great video... you've hit it spot on!
Cheers
Thanks for your video, As an italian i thank you.
The fuss is this: Alfa is the racing Car. 1st world Champion in early racing time. Enzo Ferrari was an Alfa engeneer and pilota. When you say Ferrari you say the Alfa small son.
Alfa mix Lombardia North of Italy industrial tradition ( Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili) and greek Roman Southern genious ( Romeo, the Neapolitan Who both it).
Alfa since Fascist era was not producing profitt but pure engeneering thats why was not making money and governament both it just to rapresent italian legacy.
The 33 stadsle the Giulia the aletta the duetto the 75 etc etc the sz master pieces. Then Fiat bought Alfa and went to front traction ..after alfa 75 is a Fiat with alfa batch.
The fuss is that everybody was waiting Fiat to unleash italian crazy designer and engeneers to make an alfa.
ALFA is not a practical Car but a concept. Even Giulia quadrifoglio is not an Alfa.
I Hope this text will be helpfull
I still love the 156. Handles great with proper springs and shocks.
Sure they made another great car. The 156 was very nice to look at and plenty fast. And as far as I remember that number was massively successful in Europe and practically saved Alfa. Owned one and loved it... This new one imo kinda looks like a big brother of the 156.
This GTA R 290 is such a dream. Most beautiful car to my eyes!
Since my dad had Alfa Giulia 72 I was in love with that brand. With bad or good things I was in love and now at my 50 I still feel the same flame.
Alfa Romeo is above everything else on the roads.
Except when it comes to just about EVERYTHING ever produced by any of the Big Three over on the RIGHT side of the Atlantic.

i have a 159ti, i love it to bits - even though she's 10 years old she's still a beautiful saloon, when you sit behind the wheel you really feel passionate about driving - can't wait to get my hands on a Guilia
Absolutely Glorious! As a kid growing up in the 80's I always lusted after a Alfa Romeo Spyder or a Milano (75), as I read about them in Road&Track, Automobile, Sports Car Illustrated and Car + Driver. Some day I'll own an Alfa. Thank you.
Here in the states, I believe Alfa remains an enigma, a strange Italian job that is sometimes exemplified by a random Spider or even more rare GT Junior. I'm not sure if we know what to think of these little exotic anomalies. I am greatly intrigued by the new Guilia, and hope the hype matches the reality. Thanks for a very informative, beautifully filmed video.
Good job.
Your passion is as brilliant as the cars are
What a glorious video. Anyone know where it was filmed? That last shot along the lake looks like Lake Como but I can see it's in the UK! DriveTribe what where you thinking making Henry redundant? Just look at this video! Videographers well done, this is a perfectly filmed video.
a treat to watch, needs a replay on a large TV and proper speakers
The Alfaholics creation is truly a thing of beauty and reflects the tuning potential of early Alfa’s but rest assured that a „regular“ Tipo 105 Alfa Romeo (Giulia, Sprint GT, GTV, Spider 1 .. 4) is very engaging and special to drive even with the entry level 1300 twin cam engine (making 83 hp in the mid 60s). The 2000 GTVs made a strong 131 hp from a 2.0 twin cam which was a true revelation (comparable to a entry level sports car in the days).
In addition the cars are reliable, had a 5 speed gearbox only rust is an issue and for those who don’t already have one prices went up sharply.
Love this!!! Thank you!!!
Cracking video! Thanks
I have a 74 spider and during the summer, I drive it most days. there is just something you can't describe about the experience. you feel one with the car. the sound of the engine, wow I would never, ever consider listening to music when you are driving when you have the sound of that engine. the longer you have owned it, the more you realize how unique it is. a very wealthy guy offered to buy it and people around me said you could ask anything for it, and he might buy it. He came up to me and asked me about it and I just could not do it. I wanted the car and the experience of driving it more than I wanted the money even if it was twice what it was worth.
My dad has a 1973 Alfa GTA 2000. He loves it more than me.
Alfa is not about track times , assembly lines , funcitonality or engineering . That car is solely about passion of driving something utterly special . İt invokes a rain of emotions with each design line it carries on itself and like italians , it is a dramatic car and that's why to me it is the most amazing manufacturer in the world . İt represents the passion between men and cars . İt is not a machine . İt is a part of your soul :) .
An Alfa factory specialist demonstrated and told me, "When I can place a glass of water onto this dashboard, and you can shift into all gears without spilling any water on a smooth road surface. You will appreciate and enjoy an Alfa Romeo!"
This is as good as Grand Tour/Top Gear - not only does it feature two wonderful cars but is also beautifully presented, shot and edited - well done all
It's just the sheer beauty of the cars in combination with direct steering & lively engines. I drive a matt grey Giulietta QV Launch Edition and just simply love it. And, where ever I come, people start talking to me about how much they love the design and what a beautiful car it is. That's why I love Alfa. Parking your car and when walking away looking over your shoulder, that's something that Alfa does.
Brilliant video!
I owned a 1976 Alfetta 1800 and it’s the only car that made me cry when I sold it.
Hey, the 4C is a brilliant car although its hard plastic interior!
Carbon fiber
Well what a fantastic video that was!!
Loved this car, I will miss her.
German fan boys crying in the comment section... Pure frustration. Proof that even they know ALFA IS KING
Soundwave 47 BMW is also about racing and sport.. Alfa and BMW make the best cars
BMW, Alfa, Porsche, all of them have plenty of story to talk about and incredible racing pedigree, they shouldn't be rated lower or higher than the other, all of them are as awesome as they can be
Dot Dot Wise words i like that.
Without Mercedes you would be nothing Alfa. My 86’ 300e could destroy any regular Alfa of the era and not breakdown before the end of the track
Venturi Atlantique Beautifully flawed cars while the likes of Mercedes are an engineers car rather than a artists car. Every line on a Mercedes(70s-90s) has a reason and function
Love that Alfa is back!
Man,... you made my day!!!
Alfa brand has come back, the Giulia is absolutely better than the rivals, maybe not in the interior, but for the engine and the mechanic
I drove alfas in 70s and 80s truly great cars 1300 gt junior ,1600 then 2000, the finest and best handling was the 79 alfetta gtv . Ive found a good one recently and its as good as i remember it to be .ive driven everything ( im a72 year old petrolhead) alfa is a four wheel ducati ,no compromise to performance ,a car that begs you to drive hard, makes you look back as you walk away and somehow gets into your heart . My porsces and souped up shopping baskets never did . Bless alfa and thanks for this new gem ohhhh at last youve made an old man happy i thought you'd gone forever .ps ive still got three old alfas they're hard work but you forgive them when you drive .
That's not even an original Alfa anymore. How can you say that that's what an Alfa is when none of them left the factory like that? It's just someone's vision of an Alfa. It's like saying a Eagle Speedster proves that old Jaguars are amazing.
One of the coolest nerds on RUclips, another great video.
It's a gorgeous car. Even though I'm a bmw man myself and drive one, this Alfa is just amazing. Also, there's a history part to it.
this is at the Claerwen Reservoir if anyone was interested :)
Good to see A Stiff upper lipped Britt, Slooooowly awakening to Alfapassione!
This video is more about the men and his passion then on the Italian Stallion.
I'm proud to be an Alfa enthusiast.
What a video. Love it
