Two Italian classics
The grounds of the Stormont estate in Belfast had a classic car show and these two were side by side. For nostalgia, I'd have to take the Alfa. My dad had a Sprint Veloce in the '80s, and it was just beautiful. He bought it brand new and I think there was visible rust within a year. This one has less rust after 40 years than my dad's did after 2 years.
There were a few other cool cars, including a Feugo Turbo!, two absolutely mint first model Celicas, some nice E-types, and an old model Fiat Panda with a whacking great turbo and full air suspension. Oh, and about 35 DeLoreans because it's Belfast.

Great pics
The GTV6 is probably one of the best sounding v6 ever put in a small RWD platform. I almost got a 916 spider several times, either in twinspark or v6 configuration, I've always liked the way they look despite being FWD.
I had a GTV 2.0 for 5 years
And supposedly it handled a bit better because it was lighter at the front. Good looking car, handled quite well, but the platform was very heavy, I think mine was well over 1500kg. It wasn't all that economical, either. I did like the engine. It was a to...
I can confirm that body rigidity is not their forte
The issue can be addressed reasonably well with underbody braces, front + center + rear, but the weight penalty remains. Driving top down with the busso would be a treat though!
Here'a another Italian classic.
PS, I'll take the Ferrari. courtesy of Google Images ...
And in the right color !
Alfa's and Ferraris should be red .. 'always' .. well, maybe
My dad had two, and I've had two
His were brown and silver, mine were red and silver. His silver Sprint was the best of the four.
