Gran Turismo Finlandese - From Finland to Italy in a classic Alfa Spider

A film that I made about my road trip from Finland to Italy (and a bit more)a couple of summers ago. Twists and turns, childhood dreams and a bit of mid-life crisis included! :-D

Oh, it´s the perfect road trip classic. I bought this Spider specifically for this trip. I´ve had five Spiders and they are mechanically very reliable cars. In addition to that almost everything in the car can be fixed with a screwdriver and a 10 or 13mm wrench. They have a great soft top, enough space for comfortable travelling and good lockable boot. As far as the driving goes, discs at all corners, five speed transmission, and cooling that is made for hard driving (6,5 litre oil capacity!). Twin cam and twin Webers for the soundtrack! Enough performance and long legs for keeping up with (or past) the modern traffic (8,8 sec. 0-60 top 200 km/h), but not too fast to get in to trouble while enjoying the performance (we were going to Switzerland..).

 

Oh, and everyone you meet loves them!
