Namibia's content-driven motoring portal
In a perfect world, we’d all drive the same car. Wait, did I just type perfect? I meant imperfect. One of the greatest luxuries we have is choice, the ability to indulge our individual tastes. You drive a Golf, he drives a Focus, she drives a Hyundai and I’ve got a Civic.
“I hope this car doesn’t end up being a tragic hero” mumbles my co-driver on the recent launch of the new Alfa-Romeo Giulietta. “You know mos, a fantastic car that everyone ignores” he concludes while we negotiate hundreds of kilometers on scenic Boland back roads.
Die befaamde Italiaanse vervaardiger, Alfa Romeo, het so pas hulle honderdjarige bestaan gevier. Nie net in sy geboortestad en land nie maar ook hier in die Kaap. En die regte plek in die Kaap is natuurlik die Franschhoek Motormuseum wat deur die Rupert familie met hul sin vir geskiedenis en tradisie ‘n paar jaar terug op die been gebring het. Dit was dan ook hier waar die lede van die Kaapse Alfa Romeo Klub op 27 Junie hulle skitterblink vuurwaens kon vertoon.
