Apologies if this has been posted before. This has to be one of the best Alfa videos I've seen on youtube. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hurl.

Probably best to click through to the video on the youtube page for full effect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf-NiP41Gzg

I say - that Merosi cuts a dashing figure, what !

If you look carefully, you can see when they switched from using Imperial to Metric bludgeoning hammers for the door trims...

great find !

Paul. You of all people know that the use of Willie was banned after Guantanamo Bay. The authorities have been informed.

I think this is much more appropriate backdrop for the video - the great Luciano Pavarotti performing at the opening of the Constantine Palace in Strelna, 31 May 2003. This'll bring a tear to your eye.

So beautiful, I love that version of the classic piece.

Great video, very evocative. I really feel that I should buy a new Giulietta or MiTo now because they share so much DNA (see what I did there) with 158s, T33s, GTAs, 8Cs and Enzo Ferrari, rather than the fact that they are badge-engineered Fiats. And why no mention of the GTV6, that seems very strange to me. That said, I loved 8:00 to 8:20.
