Alfa love
I know there's a few fans of the 105 coupe on here - if anyone's interested there's a few pics on Instagram 'Solentswimmer' of my 2000 + mile trip to the Italian Lakes just over a week ago. (911 still awaiting engine )
day 1 - Portsmouth to Davos
day 2 - Davos to Lake Garda
day 3 - Drive along the Lake
day 4 - Lake Garda to Verona (via Alfa museum in Milan)
day 5 - Sightseeing in Verona
day 6 - Verona to Como
day 7 - Como to Lake Geneva, via amazing alpine pass !
day 8 Lake Geneva to Portsmouth
Car ran faultlessly at 85 ish all the way, fantastic in the mountains, huge Alfa love from the Italians too, one of the best driving trips I've done.
If anyone is pondering - jump in and GO !

Re: Alfa love
Thanks all taking the Alfa home was the general idea, and it loved it, one tip, go late, after around 10 sept, most of the Germans / crowds have left by then.
Beautiful part of the world - just stunning.
Go guys !
