Something has been playing in my mind since earlier today. It was a question about soul. A question about the heart. "How can I feel like this about a car?"Here, let me lead you into what I'm thinking about now.
Why, after watching that bit, do I want an Alfa Romeo?
I now own a VW Golf R32. Sweet ride. It looks like a small box but it drives like a dream. The 3.2 V6 torques it from idle. The DSG takes it seamlessly to 6th. The AWD sticks it to the road even when sand mixes with water. And my balls shrink well before the tires squeal in this car.
What more can I ask for then?
It's been said (by Clarkson) that you can't call yourself a true petrol-head unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo. I've owned two. If you listened carefully in that video, Clarkson described an Alfa as the heart & soul. And if you've watched that series enough, you learn that whatever car comes up against an Alfa, that car will be better to in every aspect and probably cheaper too. But Clarkson never fails to say that he'll buy the Alfa.
I suppose it's a bit like falling in love. You just can't explain it.
Anybody has an old Alfa for sale in Malaysia?
