Alfa Romeo - Blog Posts
During the previous life of my Gtv, someone took off the rear badges from the bonnet. I bought them on the internet and here we go to put them on the car!
I looked at many documents to find out the original position of the badges. Then I prepared two paper masks to guide me during the installations.
Apparently the paper masks did their jobs. Let's wait a few minutes before taking them off.
Damn! The look is neat and authentic now. I'm pretty satisfied!
What's your opinion? Do you prefer it before or after? 🙃
This Sunday morning I had a ride on my 1996 Alfa Romeo. I was just driving around, when I accidentally came across a flea market. I love old forgotten stuff, so I visited it and I noted some car magazines in a box. The first one I took was from June 1995 and it celebrated all Alfa Romeo's spiders and coupes, because in that month the new Gtv and Spider models were launched!
Obviously I came back home with it!

Remember that t-shirts designing F1 YouTube video the drivers did last year? Yeah me neither.
Anyways: Mick, Zhou, and Sebastian’s t-shirt designs were something I needed to sketch last year so I’m pulling some old drawings from the vault.

I got my love of cars from my father, he was mostly a Mercedes Fan and drove like he was in a Formula 1 racetrack much to the horror of most people, even more when he would put one of his children on his lap while flooring it. Us the kids we loved it, we would drive all over Europe and get to our destination in no time.
To me there is nothing like the beauty of Classic Cars, beautiful and elegant. There are so many that it took my days to do this post as I got completely engulfed into the world of classic cars it was so hard to narrow it down. It all started as I read about the famous Car Collector Auction House of Gooding & Company Amelia Island Sales that were a staggering $38 Million! The other well known of these Auctions are held at Pebble Beach and Scottsdale where they sold a 1955 Mercedes Benz 300Sl Alloy Gullwing for a record $4.6 Million.
Its fascinating and wonderful to see how many people still collect and appreciate the incredible history and craftsmanship of these classic cars and motorcycles. Just be aware once you jump in you may never be the same again.
Now which one should I bid on?
