    This two cars are brilliant. They make all modern "exotic supercars" look dumb from their exaggerated looks to their mechanical bits (engine and suspension).
    One does not need anything more to enjoy cars and driving than these two Alfas.

    Great videos! Huge fan of Alfaholics. Dream cars . I do drive a 1976 BMW 2002 though and it's loads of fun. It's all about the sound, feel and simplicity. You're so lucky to ride in them. Alfaholics is the pinnacle.

      2002’s are fantastic! But yes the Alfaholics cars are really something else. Felt very privileged to be able to spend so much time in then

    This used to be Italian engineering and car building in the sixties. Not with a 2.1 longstroke crank, obviously, but with the torque You get off a chain driven double ohc in 1300 or 1600 cc versions, with a Solex register or a Weber double register carb, the amazing *_stock_* Alfa 5 speed box, and a "normal" rear axle but with spiffy triangular fixing.
    4 doors, 5 (some with front bench 6!) seats and a boot to actually transport the things those 5 people would bring - and particularly faster than a 356 Porsche, which came with only 4 speed, 5 not an option, and don't get me started about "space" in those 2 door abominations from Zuffenhausen ....

    Videos like this makes me dislike modern cars that drives itself rather than the driver, it illustrates the perfection and the purity of naturally aspirated engine. Love those vintage Alfas, one day my BMW Z4 3.0si will mature as a vintage in the next 20years, I suppose.

    Didn’t Alfa Romeo do their prototype testing up and down the Stelvio Pass in days gone by?
    Great to see Alfa105’s in their natural environment. Superb cars brought up to date by the Banks brothers. Shame about the focus problems but an enjoyable video nonetheless. 👍

    Awesome cinematography. I've always craved for more content related to the Alfaholics GTAR-290, despite the videos by Chris Harris+Neil Carey, EVO and DRIVETRIBE. Do you know how much a GTAR-290 costs? Was it £200,000?

    • @Patchworksproductions
      @Patchworksproductions  6 років тому +1

    Awesome video! Dont forget Alfaholics can put creature comforts like power steering (which comes into play at slow speeds) and airconditioning etc in their GTA-R recreations if you ask nicely.
    Is that a tank in 13.03?

    Please remember that this is a non-closed two way road and do the Alfa and an eventually opposing traffic a favour and stay on your side of the road. Especially in the Corners where you cannot see anything. Thank you.

    • @manfredschmalbach9023
      @manfredschmalbach9023 6 років тому +4

    • @franzbranntwein749
      @franzbranntwein749 6 років тому +8

      I didn´t say I don´t like their driving, I said I don´t like their line in the corners. You can drive like a Maniac if you want but stay on your side of the road. There is nothing worse as if you come trough the corner and the opposing traffic encounters on *your* side. In the worst case this could be the last experience you ever made.

    Makes me laugh. These cars are so heavily modified they are nothing like the originals. Put these up against an equally modified mk2 Escort, 240Z or MX5 and they'd be completely out classed. No mention of how much these cars cost...but knowing Alfaholics they'd be well over £150k...
