For years I always wanted an Alfa of some kind. My father had a black GTV sports hatch in the late 70's and brown turbo Bell & Colville upgrade one in the early 80's. I'm not a classic enthusiast. Don't want to get my hands dirty! And I don't much like the current batch of Guilias and Guiliettas. The Brera was an attractive car. But there's one car I'm more likely to get just for sheer fun.
My cousin used to belong to a super car club and he has an Aston Martin. He went with his wife on a club trip to the south of France and the other cars on the tour were your usual suspects...a yellow gull wing Lambo, a silver McClaren, two Ferraris etc. In fact, he says his Aston paled into mediocrity compared to the others.
But in this area of France super cars are really quite common. They're everywhere. So they all pull up in the sun outside the hotel and the terrace is packed with diners. Nobody bats an eyelid. But then one car separate from the club pulls up and the diners all stand up, cheer, wolf whistle and generally make a big fuss.
