  1. This is an old Fiat advt: Been around for ages apparently, so many of you
    will have seen it. But worth a look for those who haven't.

    Heh heh heh... I always loved that commercial (maybe because I've
    owned two Fiats, and currently have an Alfa). Besides, any cyclist
    who dresses like Fabrizio* and who can't do a track stand at a
    stoplight deserves to be laying on the ground.

    *like Fab did when the commercial was made - obviously his style has
    evolved dramatically since then.

    Too easy. It's the one on blocks.

  6. Funny, but isn't there a commercial where the cyclist comes out on top?

    I believe Alfa is still owned by FIAT.

    We all know what FIAT stands for don't we? - <using loud, exasperated tone>

    FIX IT AGAIN TONY !!

    best, Andrew (owned Alfa 90, circa 1988 sold 1989, did not adapt to bicycles
    as well as I did - still have the Alfa cycling jersey which has lasted a lot
    longer than the car!)

    It's an '85 Spider Veloce (see - sorta cycling content).

    We'd been looking for a classic sports car for a while, and found the
    Alfa by chance. Maybe I have a soft spot for Italian design (just
    wish the mechanicals were German). ;-)

    In the months since we bought ours, we've seen exactly ONE other Alfa.
