Amanico's post offers a vibrant look into the shared passion for the Alpine A110, showcasing a unique road trip experience with friends. This article delves into the camaraderie and driving pleasure that these distinctive sports cars provide, highlighting the aesthetic and performance appeal of the A110S and the A110 Color Edition. Amanico's personal account and stunning photography capture the essence of owning and enjoying these modern classics on the open road and even a local track.

I had a road trip, this summer, with a couple of friends, Julie and her husband. Each of us driving our own Alpine on Normandy's roads. 

Julie's husband has this great Alpine A 110S, Julie her super funky A 110 Color Edition, which is a S with a special yellow paint, a carbon roof and special seats, and my silver lightweight arrow. 

Seeing one is good, seeing and playing with these 2 is something else. 
















We even had a small test on a local track ( Pont Leveque ) near Trouville.



And two of my favorite pictures, the Alpines By Night.





Funny how a car can give you so much pleasure. 

Best,

Nicolas

My favorite is the one showing your three Alpines parked before that old church. Cheers Marc

I like the night pics, it accentuates the shapes of the car and gives a small monte carlo rally vibe, just missing snow and spike tires for the full effect Next stop Corsica?

I have flirted mentally with a nice sporty car for the past few years. I am so drawn to the Corvette visually, especially the C7. But honestly, I know I am definitely not a "Corvette Guy". I am also not a Porsche guy although I love to admire them. But I have something else in mind, we'll see what happens These A110s must be a blast to drive!! Manual transmission in yours?

668HP, 659FT-LBs. And a 6 speed MT! This is very much my style. At a stoplight, it won't draw attention like other cars, but when the light hits green it sure will
