Something a little different this week. When a friend Riccardo suggested we take a couple of classic Italian cars out for a tour, how could we refuse?The baby-blue Fiat 127 and navy Alfa Romeo Alfetta are both in pristine condition and stepping inside takes you suddenly back to a by-gone era. No satellite navigation, radio or airbags here...though both are fitted with the latest up-to-date safety features of their day....seat belts. The air-conditioning is operated by rotating a small handle attached to the door which lowers or raises the side windows. But we're not here for modern gadgets: it's the feel of these cars and their ability to raise a smile wherever they go that makes it an unforgettable day.
Wow! I wouldn't say no to a long road trip in this car. I love how Italian cars are crafted. Any one of these is like a moving artwork on the road.
