This afternoon i passed by one of the 2 Belgian Alpine dealerships. Frank the sales manager lives near my place and immediately recognized me and also immediately proposed a test drive .... . I was thinking at that point .. ' i'm done ' ... my accountant ...
Don't worry .. i would as well :-) :-) :-)

Just like i really like my old 205 with only 85 hp ! I can't imagine how the old A110 would drive, but be assured the new one (for a modern car) is all about driving pleasure as well. ... are you coming to Belgium in the near future ?
Maybe around Xmas

If I would be around before, Iโll let you know for sure. All the best, Dirk
The original is just amazing...

with the little chrome details but alas I understand it is not possible to replicate such things nowadays. S
agreed ....who would not !

but the new one is pretty nice too. I am curious how it compares to a Cayman
Sweet!

Uniquely appealing for sure . Thanks for the photos, cheers, Filip
My pleasure !
By: bimbeano : September 13th, 2018-13:38
Actually the pleasure was all mine
Big Congrats my Friend!!

I know the both of us have lusted after this car for such a long time and I can imagine how happy you were to finally test drive it, I can say I am bit jealous , I am also happy to hear you found the seat comfortable, as you are vertically tall and I am t...
No worries !

You will fit in, the only thing that kind of blocked my view was the rearview mirror on the windscreen but that's because i'm really 'long' The seats will fit a fat person ... LOL All models in the showroom are Anniversary models because production on Lรฉg...
It's a small jewel.

Tiny and nimble, a lot smaller than a Cayman but not less comfy for that matter. It's really something completely different from the usual German suspects, it has a lot of character.
Check out this review too..

Harryโs Garage just uploaded a great review of the A110. Love Harry Metcalfe. Such a gentlemen. ๐๐ป
Saw that yesterday !
By: bimbeano : September 15th, 2018-07:59
Indeed a gentleman and a car freak that once started EVO magazine back in 2000 (or was that earlier?). In that review he mentioned the A110 did a 0 to 100 mph (160 kph) in 10 seconds, same as a 996 Turbo. I did a full acceleration from a standstill to aro...
The Alpine is cool

but I'd like to see more of that Seiko automatic Tuna you're wearing!
Forget the rest Nico.
By: bimbeano : September 15th, 2018-08:02
I told you to try the GT86 or BRZ because it's a manual. From what i already experienced in my Megane RS and especially in this A110 the automatics might not give you the same feeling but they're 99% close. But for this A110 it's especially the lightweigh...
You will like it a lot !

Though it might feel like the engine misses some punch in the lower rev range. But this car is also all about fun and handling.
1.6-16 Vtec 160 hp
By: bimbeano : September 17th, 2018-13:21
But modded engine ? How much extra power did it make ? With 160 or even more hp i can imagine this being a fun car to drive, when i was young i had a lot of fun in a 131 hp and a 150 hp Vtec CRX of the 2nd generation, those were pretty quick cars. The dou...
